Description Daniel Pielmeier gentoo-dev 2019-04-27 09:32:53 UTC 
After the update tox is continuously rebuilt when running revdep-rebuild because the library libmisc_tools.so is not available.

ldd /usr/bin/DHT_bootstrap
libmisc_tools.so => not found

See also upstream issue https://github.com/TokTok/c-toxcore/issues/1144.

Good Day.
  Could you give me the command that causes the failure. Running 
#revdep-rebuild tox 
succeeds for me on both of my machines.

Not here! What is your output off 'ldd /usr/bin/DHT_bootstrap'?

Good Evening.
   Attached is the output of #ldd /usr/bin/DHT_bootstrap. Since this a known upstream issue, I don't think that I can do much to fix it. As a suggestion though. I might be able to prevent DHT_bootstrap.so from being build. In principle, the fix would look something like this: create new use flag "DHT_bootstrap", make daemon depend on it, make it disabled by default and issue warnings if it is enabled. If this is not satisfactory, please advise me on a different solution.
Comment 5 JoMull01 2019-05-02 01:45:48 UTC 
BTW, by "different solution", I meant to ask for advice on other possible directions towards a solution. I did not mean to sound like I was asking for a workable solution.
Comment 6 Daniel Pielmeier gentoo-dev 2019-05-16 04:53:31 UTC 
So there is a cmake option to disable the build of DHT_bootstrap? Then the USE flag absolutely makes sense.

    net-libs/tox: New use flag dht-node.
    
    This commit introduces the use flag dht-node. This flag
    controls the building of the program /usr/bin/DHT_bootstrap.
    This flag is turned off by default. This helps mitigate
    the impact of Bug 684470.

Disabling the build of DHT_bootstrap does the trick. Thanks for the fix.
