Bug 403733 – =app-arch-libarchive-3.0.3 fails to build with USE="-zlib"

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Ben Kohler 2012-02-15 00:17:21 UTC]

I know I know, who disables zlib on this anyway?  Some guys who didn't know how to use per-pkg USE for pciutils[-zlib] I guess.  But anyway, with zlib disabled, libarchive fails to build.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="-zlib" emerge -1 =app-arch/libarchive-3.0.3


Actual Results:
