Bug 694014 – sys-fs/eudev-3.2.5 marked as libudev-232 but pkg-config returns "220"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Marco Genasci 2019-09-11 05:32:01 UTC]

If you install the virtual/libudev-232 package in a stable without systemd the sys-fs/eudev-3.2.5 package is installed but it is marked as libudev-220 by pkg-config:

$ pkg-config libudev --modversion 
220

This cause configuration error for example with mutter-3.32.2:

Dependency libudev found: NO found '220' but need: '>= 228'
Found CMake: /usr/bin/cmake (3.14.6)
Run-time dependency libudev found: NO (tried cmake)

meson.build:172:2: ERROR: Invalid version of dependency, need 'libudev' ['>= 228'] found '220'.

As workaround can be unmask sys-fs/eudev-3.2.8 (also that is marked ad 228 and not as 232).

Reproducible: Always

yo, GNOME is non-compilable on eudev systems in ~arch for a month or more now because you lie in the .pc file about your compatible version, yet have it accepted by a virtual/libudev of newer.

Ping, please look into this issue, as it prevents updating any eudev (non-systemd) system from updating to mutter 3.32.

Can you please test eudev-3.2.9.  It should solve this problem.
