Bug 674782 – app-emulation/genymotion-bin: please consider adjusting dev-libs/openssl dependency

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) 2019-01-07 15:45:58 UTC]

Current dependency for openssl in the ebuild looks like this:

  dev-libs/openssl

This neither handles slots dependencies nor sub-slot dependencies.
Considering this being a binary package I doubt that the package works with all different versions of openssl.

IMHO there are two solutions for this.

1.)
Either the package will work with all available openssl versions, then you should adjust the dependency to

  dev-libs/openssl:*


2.)
Or you "pin" the package to a specific openssl version:

  =dev-libs/openssl-1.0*:*

or

  =dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8*:*


I believe that option 2.) is the better solution because a binary package usually expects a specific openssl version to be installed.
