• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description BedOS_Gui 2007-09-08 10:34:52 UTC]

After updating sys-libs/db to 4.6.19 version and running revdep-rebuild, it comes to recompile openoffice (2.2.1 version) with failure on configure command when trying to find db :

Reproducible: Always

@caleb - please actually test things that depend on sys-libs/db before unmasking such stuff.

- apr-util doesn't build (Bug 190373) -> apache broken
- openoffice doesn't build (this bug)
- openldap plain doesn't support this one and gets completely FUBARed (locking changes)
- lots of other things won't compile either

Re-masked by Hollow until it's reasonably usable without breaking major stuff.

Created attachment 130343 [details, diff]
system-check-db-4.6.patch

Possible patch. It brings me past the configure error but I'm still compiling openoffice and can't tell if this is the only necessay patch...

The patch works fine for me, openoffice is compiled with db-4.6.19

Is this still a problem with openoffice 2.3.0?

[Comment 5 Neil Cathey 2007-09-20 07:44:12 UTC]

Yes, and the patch from comment #2 worked nicely.  It compiled on both my x86 and amd64 machines.

I've added the patch here (and upstream), so thanks to everyone, closing
