Bug 332971 – app-emulation/libvirt-0.8.3 needs updated dependency for USE-flag parted

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Gen2 2010-08-16 10:02:31 UTC]

libvirt-0.83* fails to build when the use-flag parted is enabled and sys-apps/parted was built without device-mapper. As soon as I enabled device-mapper USE-flag and rebuild sys-apps/parted, libvirt build without and problems. So i suggest to update the dependency for parted as follows:  parted? ( >=sys-apps/parted-1.8[device-mapper] )

The error I was experiencing looked like this:

  CCLD   libvirt_driver_storage.la
  CCLD   libvirt_driver_nodedev.la
  CCLD   libvirt_test.la
  CCLD   libvirt_parthelper
  CCLD   libvirt.la
libvirt_parthelper-parthelper.o: In function `main':
parthelper.c:(.text+0x286): undefined reference to `dm_is_dm_major'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [libvirt_parthelper] Error 1
make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/libvirt-0.8.3-r1/work/libvirt-0.8.3/src'

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. disable device-mapper USE-flag of parted
2. rebuild parted
3. enable parted USE-flag of libvirt
4. rebuild libvirt

Actual Results:  
Build failure

Expected Results:  
Build success

Fixed in tree. Thanks for tracking it down.
