Bug 81570 – gnome-ppp failed to emerge

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sean Smith 2005-02-10 20:04:04 UTC]

When attempting an 'emerge world', I received an error when it was performing an emerge of gnome-ppp.  Specifically, I received the following error message:

configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool
...
!!! ERROR: net-dialup/gnome-ppp-0.3.17 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 485, Exitcode 0
!!! econf failed

I chose not to attempt to add the XML::Parser module via CPAN as I would believe that it should have been added as a dependency.  It's important to note that I was able to emerge gnome-ppp originally, and am having problems with the 0.3.17 version.  I currently have the 0.3.16 version installed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gnome-ppp
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
It still did not emerge.

Expected Results:  
It should have finished the merge and continued on.

Created attachment 50977 [details]
The config.log from gnome-ppp, which the emerge asked me to forward along.

dev-util/intltool added to DEPEND. 
also I've moved dev-perl/XML-Parser from RDEPEND to DEPEND in dev-util/intltool.

the fix to intltool is not your pack & not correct. please undo.

[Comment 4 foser (RETIRED) 2005-02-12 00:50:44 UTC]

on second look, it is correct now - though probably not for all versions that got altered (altough only because the config file changed, i bet they got too much upstream bugreports about it, not because it is a buildtime necessity).
