Bug 302408 – kdebase-meta-4.3.5 dependencies resolution fails w/o semantic-desktop USE flag

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Leonid Podolny 2010-01-27 08:33:25 UTC]

Building kde 4.3.5 fails when there is no "semantic-desktop" USE flag, which is, obviously, the default. (Logs attached)
Adding either "semantic-desktop" or "-semantic-desktop" to the flags helps.

This is because we updated from +semantic-desktop to semantic-desktop so that option is no longer enabled.

If you really want to use it just add semantic-desktop to your make.conf.

Problem is that portage has really braindead way to show us which package pulls in that semantic-desktop useflag.

Could you paste your /var/lib/portage/world file we might be able to spot which package is so evil and require it :]

The point is exactly the opposite -- I don't want to use it, and it should probably work without explicitly disabling it. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Attached.
I think that it is because kde-base/kdebase-runtime-meta-4.3.5 pulls in nepomuk even though semantic-desktop isn't enabled.

I dont see it as hard dependency even with -semantic-desktop.
It is properly calculated with -semantic-desktop. Some Misc non kde-base app must be pulling it in :/

Actualy it appears i forgot to remove the + for the semantic desktop there.
I can see that ABCD already removed that + from there, so please try it and reopen this bug if it is still borked.

Thanks
