Bug 283795 – app-office/openoffice-3.1.1 depending on non-existent ~dev-lang/perl-5.10.1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Robin Johnson 2009-09-05 23:45:51 UTC]

openoffice or one of it's deps is trying to bring in perl-5.10 which definitely isn't in the tree, and I can't trace why it's looking for it.

# emerge -pv openoffice
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "~dev-lang/perl-5.10.1".
(dependency required by "app-office/openoffice-3.1.1" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "openoffice" [argument])

virtual/perl-IO-Compress-2.020 seems to be the cause of the problem.
Maybe put a block against it in openoffice?

[Comment 2 Zac Medico 2009-09-06 00:39:47 UTC]

virtual/perl-IO-Compress-2.020:
RDEPEND=|| ( ~dev-lang/perl-5.10.1 ~perl-core/IO-Compress-2.020 )

It should choose ~perl-core/IO-Compress-2.020, since perl-5.10.1 is unavailable. Maybe you have ~perl-core/IO-Compress-2.020 masked. Try this to see if it's masked:

  emerge -pv '~perl-core/IO-Compress-2.020'

[Comment 3 Robin Johnson 2009-09-06 09:09:34 UTC]

Nope, perl-core/IO-Compress-2.020, was installed fine before.

The only possible thing I see is that I had rev 1.5 of perl-IO-Compress-2.020, which does NOT have the perl-5.10 dep.

When I manually upgraded perl-IO-Compress, it went away, and I can't reproduce anymore, even with a downgrade.

However it still smells that it couldn't find the other package.

Just wondering with the error output. In the original output, it wasn't obvious that perl-IO-Compress was at fault. Could we have more of the deptree printed on the error stack? (in this case, one extra line saying "virtual/perl-IO-Compress").

Yeah, but it's more that a few lines patch since the function that returns that info doesn't currently separate the virtual deps from the other ones. The info you want is discarded, so we'll have to write some code to save it for later display.

I found a simple fix for this:

[Comment 6 Zac Medico 2009-09-19 17:21:49 UTC]

I've implemented a better fix, finished up in svn r14281.

[Comment 7 Zac Medico 2009-09-20 00:24:35 UTC]

This is fixed in 2.2_rc41.

[Comment 8 Zac Medico 2009-10-11 01:06:26 UTC]

This is fixed in 2.1.7.
