Description Chris Slycord 2007-02-23 01:09:23 UTC

I have media-libs/aalib-1.4_rc5 installed with USE=slang. Therefore, sys-libs/slang is a dependency. But it's only needed for building aalib, not for running it so slang isn't in the RDEPEND. So when I do "emerge --depclean --with-bdeps n" sys-libs/slang is removed.

And if I do "revdep-rebuild -p" I get
Checking dynamic linking consistency...
  broken /usr/bin/aafire (requires  libslang-utf8.so.1)

All prepared. Starting rebuild...
emerge --oneshot -p =media-libs/aalib-1.4_rc5 

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N    ] sys-libs/slang-1.4.9-r2  USE="unicode -cjk" 
[ebuild   R   ] media-libs/aalib-1.4_rc5


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install aalib with USE=slang
2. Do "emerge --depclean --with-bdeps n"
3. Run "revdep-rebuild"

Actual Results:  
Broken links are found and aalib is reinstalled

Expected Results:  
No broken links.

Do the aalib binaries actually fail without slang installed?

Yes, binaries fail when libslang is not present.
Fixed in CVS.
