Bug 3377 – >=gnome-base/gconf-1.0.4-r2 dependency in gnome-vfs-1.0.5 breaks with gnome2

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description José Fonseca 2002-06-04 09:17:43 UTC]

The >=gnome-base/gconf-1.0.4-r2 dependency must be change to something else that
doesn't pick the newer gconf of gnome2. Otherwise the building of
gnome-vfs-1.0.x fails in the presence of gnome2 libs as doesn't find the
gconf-config program.

See the http://lists.gentoo.org/pipermail/gentoo-dev/2002-June/012587.html
thread for more info.

Following Spider's suggestion I file here other related dependencies problems.
Basically the dependencies problems I experienced were related with the packages
that should live together in gnome2 but with different versions, i.e.:

  control-center-1.4.*
  gconf-1.0.*
  gnome-vfs-1.0.*

I'm not sure if these also cause problems:

  gtk+-1.2.*
  libglade-0.*
  
The problems I've noticed was:

  gnome-vfs-1.0.* should depend on gconf-1.0.* only
  control-center-1.4.* and balsa-1.2.* should depend on gnome-vfs-1.0.* only
  gnome-core-* should depend on control-center-1.4.* only

but I'm sure there are more. Doing:
  
  find /usr/portage -name "*.ebuild" | xargs grep "gnome-vfs-1\.0\."

catches all the situations though, and the same can be done for the other packages.

I hope this helps.

This was fixed in gconf-1.0.5* time ago.

Thanks.
