Bug 289082 – kde-base/kdebase-startkde-4.3.1: qt3support not installable but needed

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED INVALID

[Description Akira Hinoshiro 2009-10-14 19:01:41 UTC]

After eix-sync it is unpossible to update all kde related packages.
A new Gentoo on another partition shows the same problem.

The error code with package.use x11-libs/qt-core qt3support:

emerge kdebase-startkde -pv

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

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy "~x11-libs/qt-core-4.5.2[-debug,-qt3support]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- x11-libs/qt-core-4.5.2 (Change USE: -qt3support)
(dependency required by "x11-libs/qt-opengl-4.5.2-r1" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "media-sound/phonon-4.4_pre20090520" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "kde-base/phonon-kde-4.3.1" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "kde-base/kdebase-startkde-4.3.1" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "kdebase-startkde" [argument])



with an portage.use x11-libs/qt-core -qt3support:

emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy ">=x11-libs/qt-core-4.5.1:4[qt3support,ssl]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:

(dependency required by "kdebase-startkde" [argument])



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge --sync
2. emerge kdebase-startkde

The qt3support USE flag must be set/unset consistently in all qt-* packages. I suggest you enable it in /etc/make.conf (and not just for qt-core), rebuild all affected qt-* packages, and then try again.

Okay but there is a relation to <x11-libs/qt-gui-4.5.2 on the fresh system and i have not installed any qt package till now. So it still won't compile.

This is known behavior, you have to manually enable qt3support and dbus for all of Qt (or add in make.conf/USE) because of major default USE flag changes in >=x11-libs/qt-*-4.5.2 and the way portage handles USE dependencies.

It'll all go away after we get a newer version of Qt stabilized for all archs and get rid of the old ebuilds.

Ok then. Waiting eagerly for the unstable to become stable.

No need to wait anything, just enable USE qt3support in /etc/make.conf as advised in Comment #1.
