Bug 24580 – scim-chinese missing rpm as its depends

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description liuspider 2003-07-16 03:48:02 UTC]

scim-chinese.0.2.2-1 and scim-chinese.0.2.3-1 can not be merged correctly unless you 
have rpm installed, although these two ebuild all inherit from rpm. 
 
adding rpm to their depends works well for me 

Reproducible: Always

hmm .. the rpm.eclass depends on rpm2targz which should be inherited. it doesn't use the rpm package but rpmoffset from rpm2targz.

which version of portage do you have?

[Comment 2 liuspider 2003-07-18 22:21:26 UTC]

my portage version is 2.0.48-r1

rpm2targz had been installed, but it seems the standard unpack function of rpm uses rpm2cpio rather than rpmoffset

[Comment 3 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-07-19 03:51:56 UTC]

it uses rpm2cpio if it detects it because it is more reliable than rpmoffset. 

which version of rpm2targz do you have?

[Comment 4 liuspider 2003-07-19 23:11:37 UTC]

rpm2targz 8.0 
 
I just notice that the newest version is 9.0-r1. Can this one solve my problem without needing 
to install rpm? 

[Comment 5 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-07-20 02:32:29 UTC]

yes. that version works. i'm waiting on all the other archs to mark it stable so rpm.eclass can use the latest version.

[Comment 6 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-08-31 15:11:15 UTC]

the new rpm.eclass had been committed with the updated dependency.
