Bug 168862 – x11-terms/eterm automagic libcap dependency

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description kaouete 2007-03-01 11:23:14 UTC]

Hi,

It looks like that when i removed libcap, esetroot (from Eterm) didn't work anymore.

I had to recompile Eterm.

Shouldn't a use flag be added ?

Thanks :)

Reproducible: Always

i dont see that behavior over here ... what do you mean by "didn't work anymore" ?

[Comment 2 kaouete 2007-03-03 13:03:11 UTC]

it means that when i run esetroot i just got an error telling me that libcap.so.1 is missing, the classical missing library error :]


if you want to reproduce just emerge Eterm when libcap is installed and remove libcap and esetroot will not work anymore.

i did that already ... still works for me

you are right, it works, i don't know why it didn't work the first time, maybe it was another dependency than libcap :/

yeah, my guess would be some package eterm links against was itself causing libcap to be pulled in ... if you hit the issue again, please lemme know
