Description Mattias Merilai 2010-01-05 00:29:08 UTC

I just did a fresh install for a server and converted into selinux/hardened. Disabled the nls use flag. But now policycoreutils wont compile, unless i install gettext also. I also tried the ~x86 versions, with no luck:
~policycoreutils-2.0.69-r1.ebuild
~policycoreutils-2.0.69.ebuild
policycoreutils-2.0.55.ebuild


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to merge policycoreutils with -nls and no gettext present.

Can you provide the additional info like emerge --info and a build log?

It is pretty much a standard handbook install, hardened profile from the beginning and a couple of emerge -e worlds on top of it just to be sure. 120 packages in world. Been working my way through the hardened kernel.

I removed the 'po' subdirectory from Makefile, and it compiles and works. (At least as much as i can make sense of it). The patch and approach are rather hackish, i guess.

I can confirm that it is still the case for policycoreutils-2.0.82. But perhaps we should rather just harddepend on gettext rather than remove it?

Okay I moved your ebuild to the tree.
