Bug 702156 – dev-python/eyeD3-0.8.11 USE=python_target_python2_7 should depend on dev-python/pathlib

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description temporalabstraction 2019-12-06 11:56:34 UTC]

This seems to require dev-python/pathlib[python_target_python2_7] to work, but this isn't in the dependencies of the ebuild; when pathlib is not installed and built with 2.7 it will simply complain about not being able to import this module.

Steps to reproduce:
- install =dev-python/eyeD3-0.8.11[python_target_python2_7]
- don't install dev-python/pathlib[python_target_python2_7]
- run eyeD3 command line tool

I am unable to reproduce this.

bubba /var/lib/layman/bman/dev-python/eyeD3 # emerge pathlib -pv

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N     ] dev-python/pathlib-1.0.1-r1::gentoo  PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 -pypy" 49 KiB

I'm not sure how emerging the pathlib package would attempt to reproduce the bug; the bug is that it doesn't depend on the pathlib package when it should.

eyeD3 no longer supports py2.
