Bug 330697 – pulseaudio should RDEPEND on sys-libs/libsmbios

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description zym 2010-08-01 13:28:19 UTC]

I have install from binary, pulseaudio depends on libsmbios, with make some so file broken without libsmbios installed, please include libsmbios in rdepend or so.

thanks.

     Description:         Provide access to (SM)BIOS information



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1, install pulesaudio in binary, with libsmbios removed first.
2, you will got no sound card anymore.


Expected Results:  
RDEPEND on libsmbios, alsa module works

[Comment 1 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2010-08-01 14:19:42 UTC]

Given that PulseAudio *never* uses libsmbios directly, libsmbios is likely brough in by HAL. So either the problem is with HAL, or you got a PulseAudio built with an older HAL around, and you're not using --as-needed to protect from just-this-situation, among others.

Simple answer is that pulseaudio should _not_ RDEPEND on libsmbios at all.
