Bug 111839 – incompatible library versions of libgda in same SLOT / libgnomedb dependency broken / glade fails to build

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Jonas Berlin 2005-11-07 21:37:13 UTC]

Snippet from emerge -pe world (and also emerge -pe glade), irrelevant packages 
removed:

[ebuild  N    ] gnome-extra/libgda-1.0.3  
[ebuild  N    ] gnome-extra/libgnomedb-1.0.4  
[ebuild  N    ] gnome-extra/libgda-1.2.2-r1  
[ebuild  N    ] dev-util/glade-2.6.8  

Some dependencies:
 - libgnomedb-1.0.4 depends on libgda-1.0*
 - libgda-1.0.3 and libgda-1.2.2-r1 are in the same SLOT
 - glade depends on libgnomedb

Result:
 - glade fails to compile due to libgnomedb linkage problem

Analysis:
 - libgda-1.0.3 installs /usr/lib64/libgda-2.so.1 (which libgnomedb depends on) 
while libgda-1.2.2-r1 installs /usr/lib64/libgda-2.so.3
 - the merging of libgda-1.2.2-r1 caused libgda-1.0.3 to be removed since both 
are in the same SLOT
 - libgnomedb dependency is thus lost

Possible fix:
 - move libgda-1.2* to SLOT="1.2"

Why are you installing libgnomedb-1.0.4, rather than libgnomedb-1.2.2, which
deps on libgda-1.2.x?   The problem is libgnomedb linking to libgda-2.so.1 not
to libgda-2.so, because the two are compatible (and therefore slotted correctly)

BTW, if you'r on amd64 (which I can't tell because you didn't include you emerge
info), I just makred libgnomedb-1.2.2 stable.

Yeah, sorry, I have amd64, and it was not me installig it, it was portage. After 
syncing my portage, libgnomedb-1.2.2 merged and glade was happy.

Bug seems to be caused by out of sync depedencies.  Fixed by dang as stated above.
