Description Maurizio Disimino 2002-08-18 08:25:51 UTC
14:12 +<PJ> hmm. this is odd. dep-clean is saying that
'app-arch/ncompress-4.2.4' is depended on but not present, but qpkg -q cant find any
            packages that need it. anyone run into this befoer?
14:12 +<PJ> the new portage, new iptables, and bsdsfv are all ive installed
since my last dep-clean came back clean (i think)
14:18 +<PJ> im installing it just to be safe, but im curious whats going on
15:06 +<j2ee> PJ:
15:07 +<j2ee> find /usr/portage -name '*.ebuild' > /tmp/portage.list
15:07 +<j2ee> and then
15:07 +<j2ee> for ebuild in `cat /tmp/portage.list`; do [ ! -z `sed -n
'/DEPEND.*[^"]$/,/"$/p ; /DEPEND.*"$/p' $ebuild | grep ncompress` ]
              && echo $ebuild; done
15:10 +<PJ> so far
15:10 +<PJ> /usr/portage/app-text/pstotext/pstotext-1.8g.ebuild
15:10 +<PJ> /usr/portage/sys-apps/tar/tar-1.13.25-r2.ebuild
15:10 +<PJ> and thats it
15:11 +<j2ee> k
15:12 +<PJ> so, if those two packages depend on it, why is it not showing up in
qpkg -q?
15:13 +<j2ee> mmh
15:13 +<j2ee> do you have tar installed ?
15:14 +<PJ> sys-apps/tar, yes.
15:14 +<PJ> tar's part of system i believe.
15:14 +<j2ee> in fact:
15:14 +<j2ee> Ximian vpopmail # emerge -p tar
15:14 +<j2ee> These are the packages that I would merge, in order.
15:14 +<j2ee> Calculating dependencies ...done!
15:14 +<j2ee> [ebuild  N   ] app-arch/ncompress-4.2.4 to /
15:14 +<j2ee> [ebuild   R  ] sys-apps/tar-1.13.25-r2 to /
15:15 +<PJ> hmm
15:15 +<PJ> thats just odd.
15:15 +<PJ> something screwed up the tar ebuild perhasp?
15:16 +<j2ee> wait .. checking
15:17 +<j2ee> hehe

 *tar-1.13.19-r1.ebuild (14 July 2002)

 16 Aug 2002; Seemant Kulleen <seemant@gentoo.org> tar-1.13.25-r2.ebuild :

 Added gzip, bzip2 and ncompress to DEPEND list.  Closes bug #6611 by
 laurent.mouillart@free.fr (Laurent Mouillart)
</snip>

15:17 +<PJ> ah
15:17 +<PJ> but shouldnt emerge -u world catch it?
15:17 +<j2ee> and that's why emerge should rebuild pkgs as soon as USE vars
changes or (R)?DEPENDS gets updated
15:17 +<j2ee> PJ: should !
15:18 +<PJ> ya, it definately should
15:18 +<PJ> whats the point of fixing a bug in an ebuild if only new users get
it installed, or users who watch dep-clean
15:19 +<PJ> well, you know what i mean =)
15:19 +<j2ee> sure :)

Here's more work coming your way, Dave :)

Any chance you can get any of this fixed by the end of the weekend ?
Comment 3 Dave Nellans 2003-01-26 23:48:45 UTC
Dep-clean has been decomissioned and i don't hear any barking so i'm closing all
dep-clean related bugs.  yell if you want it back!
