Bug 172683 – ati-drivers-8.34.8 fails to emerge - missing needed dependencies from ebuild

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Paul Thomas 2007-03-29 16:06:55 UTC]

Emerging ati-drivers-8.34.8 does not pull in two dependencies that are required to successfully build the package.

The two dependencies that are missing from the ebuild are:
x11-proto/xf86miscproto and x11-proto/xf86vidmodeproto

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.un-merge x11-proto/xf86miscproto and x11-proto/xf86vidmodeproto
2.now if you run:
   emerge =ati-drivers-8.34.8 -a
notice that the two packages above are not pulled in by the ebuild. However, they are required.
3.emerge =ati-drivers-8.34.8 
Will produce the error in the bug description above about missing depends.

Actual Results:  
Here's a portion of the emerge output near the failure:

Created attachment 114870 [details, diff]
Attached modified ebuild that fixes this problem

The attached ebuild will allow anyone experiencing this problem to successfully emerge this package.

Please, attach a unified diff instead of a huge ebuild. Thanks.

[Comment 3 Paul Thomas 2007-03-29 18:41:52 UTC]

Created attachment 114879 [details, diff]
Created a unified diff

Created a unified diff from the old and new ebuild.

Reopen.

[Comment 5 Marien Zwart (RETIRED) 2007-03-29 23:01:34 UTC]

Fixed in cvs with a modified version of your patch: they're header files, so should be DEPEND, not RDEPEND. Thanks for reporting!
