Description Oliver Schmidt 2010-08-02 22:02:02 UTC

I just tried to use Octopussy (www.8pussy.org) on my Server. The documentation said it depends on perl-core/Locale-Maketext-Simple, so I installed it. I wondered why I had no translations at all and digged depper into it, until I found that this module is just a wrapper for Locale::Maketext::Lexicon - but which had not been installed!
An RDEPEND in the ebuilds would fix this, its nightmare to debug this... The unstable testing ebuild have a dep when you activated "test", which I do not have enabled by default...

Can anyone fix this please? Thanks in advance :)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install perl-core/Locale-Maketext-Simple but without Locale-Maketext-Lexicon
2. Try to user Locale::Maketext::Simple
3. Happy debugging...

It actually does have a DEPEND on it, but only when USE=test.

http://search.cpan.org/dist/Locale-Maketext-Simple/lib/Locale/Maketext/Simple.pm#DESCRIPTION

| If Locale::Maketext::Lexicon is not present, it implements a minimal
| localization function by simply interpolating [_1] with the first
| argument, [_2] with the second...

Maybe Octopussy should state that it depends on Locale-Maketext-Lexicon?

WONTFIX or do we have to fix anything?
