Bug 180791 – gnome-base/alacarte-0.10.2 fails - required pygtk version not found

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED NEEDINFO

[Description David D. Huff Jr. 2007-06-03 21:11:24 UTC]

is alacarte-0.10.2 really necessary? I think not every gnome dependency but this one can be met and it doesn't have a equiry d dependency
that packages requires python-2.8

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge gnome
2.eventually spawns emerge for alacarte-0.10.2 which cannot be satisfied because python-2.8 isn't available
3.

Actual Results:  
emerge of alacarte disrupting emerge -Duv world

Expected Results:  
if required alacarte should emerge

I don't think alacarte is viable application in it's present form, what does it do, has anybody run it?

Post some errors, emerge output or whatever; there's no python-2.8 dependency anywhere.

$ emerge -pv =alacarte-0.10.2

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

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge alacarte and you will see it when the build dies

[Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2007-06-03 21:44:33 UTC]

Well, as said above, post the error, emerge --info and reopen then. We are more than busy enough for such riddles.

emerge log

I would question if this emerge had ever been tested. I think this is the product of shoddy workmanship.

1/ pygtk != python

<snip>
checking for pygtk 2.8.0 installed for python 2.4... not found
configure: error: required pygtk version not found
</snip>

2/ The ebuild already depends on >=dev-python/pygtk-2.8; re-emerge it and try again...

3/ If it still doesn't compile then, you'll have to attach the config.log as well, as told by the error message.
