Bug 247532 – x11-misc/adesklets-0.6.1-r1 and net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.4.1.1 - File collision (perllocal.pod)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Max Arnold 2008-11-19 03:01:08 UTC]

net-analyzer/net-snmp overwrites file perllocal.pod which belongs to x11-misc/adesklets:

$ equery b perllocal.pod

net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.4.1.1 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux/perllocal.pod)
x11-misc/adesklets-0.6.1-r1 (/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux/perllocal.pod)

Portage snapshot 2008-10-13

Reproducible: Always

[Comment 1 Max Arnold 2008-11-21 05:21:18 UTC]

For both packages the "perl" use flag is disabled:

$ emerge -pv adesklets net-snmp

[ebuild   R   ] x11-misc/adesklets-0.6.1-r1  USE="X ctrlmenu fontconfig python -debug -perl" 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] net-analyzer/net-snmp-5.4.1.1  USE="X python ssl -diskio -doc -elf -extensible -ipv6 -lm_sensors -mfd-rewrites -minimal -perl -rpm (-selinux) -sendmail -smux -tcpd" 0 kB

adesklet replaces myconf:

        use perl || myconf="${myconf} --without-perl-support"
        myconf="${myconf} $(use_enable debug)"
-       use ctrlmenu && myconf="--enable-control-on-context-menu"
+       use ctrlmenu && myconf="${myconf} --enable-control-on-context-menu"
        use fontconfig || myconf="${myconf} --without-fontconfig"

Still it failes with fontconfig...

Uhm.

adesklets has several bugs open, none of which have been fixed. Package seems dead since 2007, upstream is unresponsive. I think I'll just hard mask this package, pending removal.
