Bug 148084 – net-misc/bridge-utils needs RDEPEND sys-fs/sysfsutils on USE=sysfs

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Stefan Hellermann 2006-09-18 09:37:57 UTC]

net-misc/bridge-utils needs RDEPEND=sys-fs/sysfsutils with USE=sysfs

while working on embedded systems installed with bin-packages I noticed:
# brctl
brctl: error while loading shared libraries: libsysfs.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
sys-fs/sysfsutils is not installed here, because bridge-utils doesn't RDEPEND on it.
I think it should be RDEPEND=DEPEND=sys-fs/sysfsutils in bridge-utils.

Created attachment 97612 [details, diff]
small patch

I've put together a real easy patch for this issue.

another question: how about cleaning up old ebuilds? Don't see any advantage of the old ones

New bridge-utils doesn't seem to use sysfsutils any more, here the announcement:

> This is a minor release update to the bridge utilities to fix some

> code easier and it was a pain for other build environments.

1.2 in the tree now.

new bridge-utils-1.2 works fine here! But I think the IUSE="sysfs" is wrong, it should be IUSE=""

Also I'm running bridge-utils on a ARM-Machine here, it works like a charm, maybe keyword it as ~arm, or what's needed for ~arm?
