Bug 296322 – media-video/dvdrip-0.98.10-r2 chokes on own dependency

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description 98613243 2009-12-09 14:36:22 UTC]

After having tried dvdrip-0.89.8, I jumped to 0.98.10-r2 in the hope to find a fixed version. But this version still does not work for me, dvdrip conflicts with its own dependcy, "ExecFlow", but see also https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255269


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
#emerge -uD dvdrip

examing the "build.log", I found the following: 


: >>> Unpacking source...
: >>> Unpacking dvdrip-0.98.8.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/media-video/dvdrip-: 0.98.8/work
: >>> Source unpacked in /var/tmp/portage/media-video/dvdrip-0.98.8/work
: >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/media-video/dvdrip-0.98.8/work/dvdrip-0.98.8 ...
:  ^[[32;01m*^[[0m Using ExtUtils::MakeMaker
: 
: Note:
: -----
: The following modules are required for dvd::rip but not found on your
: system. They're shipped with dvd::rip for your convenience and will be
: installed automatically when you run 'make install':
: 
:   Event::ExecFlow


so, dvdrip cannot find ExecFlow and then adds ExecFlow on its own, despite it _is_ already installed. actually, it has been installed just before attempting to install dvdrip, since it's a dependcy.

the question now is: why is dvdrip unable to find the already installed ExecFlow?

please not that this bug is open since mid january 2009.
