Description Michael Hordijk 2006-10-29 10:51:52 UTC

When subversion's berkdb use flag is set, it requires apr-util to be compiled with berkdb as well.  Failure is pretty early in the configure stage and pretty clear, but the ebuild should be checking this dependency in pkg_setup so we don't get an error in configure.

Attaching patch.

Comment 3 Michael Hordijk 2006-10-29 13:09:26 UTC

I'm not sure how this is a dup of 114481, espcially as 114481 is marked as INVALID.

1. User has apr-util intalled (with no berkdb, say from apache installation)
2. User set berkdb in /etc/make.conf
3. Emerge of subversion fails during configure.

If berkdb is set for subversion, it apr-util MUST be built with berkdb USE flag.

Reasons I feel this should be fixed the ebuild rather than letting configure error out:

1. We do this sort of consistancy checking all over portage.
2. Provides a cleaner error for the end user with clear steps for resolution.
