Bug 40000 – orbit unconditionally DEPENDs on tcp-wrappers

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Stephen Bosch 2004-01-31 11:25:55 UTC]

If I add -esd, -tcpd, -gnome, and -xinetd to the /etc/make.conf USE flags, this does not appear in emerge info's output.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. add "-esd -tcpd -gnome -xinetd" to USE in /etc/make.conf
2. run "cat /etc/make.conf | grep -v "#" | grep USE && emerge info"
3. compare
Actual Results:

`emerge info` does report the actual USE flags which are combined from make.globals, make.defaults, make.conf and the environment variables. If you add "-foo" in make.conf the "foo" flag will be removed from the actual USE flags.

[Comment 2 Stephen Bosch 2004-01-31 11:41:19 UTC]

Yeah, but then it insists on installing tcp-wrappers (for example) with ORBit, even though -tcpd has been added /etc/make.conf.

[Comment 3 SpanKY 2004-01-31 11:54:30 UTC]

orbit doesnt DEPEND on tcp-wrappers, look at the ebuilds

just because you have -tcpd doesnt mean you wont get tcp-wrappers ... if a package needs it, you're gonna get it

look into what package is trying to pull it in and see if that package actually needs tcp-wrappers

[Comment 4 Stephen Bosch 2004-01-31 12:29:10 UTC]

Not true:

inherit gnome.org

IUSE="nls"

DESCRIPTION="A high-performance, lightweight CORBA ORB aiming for CORBA 2.2 comp
liance"
HOMEPAGE="http://www.labs.redhat.com/orbit/"

DEPEND="virtual/glibc
        nls? ( sys-devel/gettext )

        =dev-libs/glib-1.2*"

RDEPEND="virtual/glibc
        =dev-libs/glib-1.2*"

So, now, how is it that when I have -tcpd in my USE environment, ORBit still installs tcp-wrappers? And who put this dependency in the ebuild in the first place?

[Comment 5 SpanKY 2004-01-31 12:50:08 UTC]

ah i checked orbit2, not orbit

USE flags affect OPTIONAL depends, not REQUIRED depends

so if you have -X in USE but try to emerge say KDE, you're gonna get X cause KDE needs it

we'll let gnome figure out if tcpwrappers is a required depend

[Comment 6 Stephen Bosch 2004-01-31 13:01:45 UTC]

Well, as we all seem to have acknowledged, ORBit builds just fine without tcp-wrappers, so this dependency should be changed.

[Comment 7 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2004-02-01 03:38:55 UTC]

technically, this is the same bug. in short, we would gladly accept patches :)
