• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

# equery depends media-libs/giflib

gives the following result:

app-editors/emacs-21.4-r1
app-emulation/wine-20050725
dev-libs/DirectFB-0.9.22
dev-tex/latex2html-2002.2.1_pre20041025
media-gfx/fontforge-20050624
media-libs/imlib2-1.2.0.007
media-libs/libungif-4.1.3-r1
media-libs/imlib-1.9.14-r3
media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre7
x11-wm/icewm-1.2.22

# equery depends media-libs/libungif

gives the following result:

dev-tex/latex2html-2002.2.1_pre20041025
media-video/mplayer-1.0_pre7

# emerge -puDv world

now gives the following result:

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies  ..... ..... .... ...done!

This is the cause of bug # 100801 and is probably also the cause of most of the
duplicate bugs attached to bug # 83238

If you perform emerge media-libs/ligungif and do _NOT_ specify the --update
option, libungif will compile. It was my understanding that this shouldn't
happen. Once libungif is emerged, then kdegraphics will compile so long as you
do _NOT_ use the --update option.

I question the correctness of this.

Also note that mplayer was already emerged on my system with no complaint about
missing ligungif.

I haven't a clue as to how I managed to enter this twice.
