Description Attila Tóth 2013-08-06 13:17:41 UTC

ibus-1.5.3 is not compatible with Gnome version prior to 3.8.
More specifically ibus-1.5.3 requires a dconf version at least 0.16.0, which implies Gnome 3.8. dconf-0.14.* is not enough.

Error message goes like this (taken from build.log):
libdconf.so: undefined reference to `g_variant_new_from_bytes'

Either there must be a blocker, or ibus-1.5.3 and above ebuilds should make it clear and depend on the right version of dconf.

Regards: Dw.

Can't reproduce the "undefined reference" problem here with:

USE=dconf emerge -avt1 ibus '=dconf-0.14.1'

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R    ] app-i18n/ibus-1.5.3  USE="X dconf deprecated gconf gtk gtk3 introspection nls python vala {-test}" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python2_7 -python2_5 -python2_6" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_6 python2_7 -python2_5" 0 kB
[ebuild   R    ]  gnome-base/dconf-0.14.1  USE="X {test}" 0 kB

Please attach your complete build.log and emerge --info. (Guess something wrong with glib?)

The error pops up with dconf versions over 0.16.0, the title of the bug was incorrect. I corrected the title.
Sorry.

Please provide the build.log, g_variant_new_from_bytes is from glib, not from dconf.
