Description Matthew Elder 2004-04-20 20:08:09 UTC

portage complains that i need perl 5 when openssl is attempted.  I manually did emerge perl, then voila the problem dissapears.  Perhaps perl isn't a listed dependency under ssl?.. or maybe the use flag "perl" that i used is broken with this package since it doesn't catch the needed dependency ;)

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. stage 1 install from 2004.0
2. add "perl" to use flags in make.conf, also ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"
3. use /usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap-2.6.sh

Actual Results:  
openssl fails to install and bootstrap fails also.

Expected Results:  
portage should install perl before installing openssl when there is a "perl" use
flag :)

I put the severity as major, the reason being, if we get dumb errors like this,
first time users are gonna be immediately turned off.  Even if it is gentoo
unstable, of all things dependencies should be satisfied :) even if the
dependency doesnt compile :P

same bug with live cd 2004.1
USE included ssl but no perl
export USE="-ssl" fixed the problem
platform: amd64

According to the documentation, you shouldn't set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~arch" before bootstrap.sh is done. We cannot support this, since testing-ebuilds are a fast-moving target.
