Bug 488708 – =dev-libs/{libusbx-1.0.17, libusb-compat-0.1.5-r2} plus the virtuals: stabilize

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2013-10-20 11:41:08 UTC]

I guess it's time to make the final switch since 3rd party apps have started using the debugging facilities which are specific to libusbx -- and every other distribution has already done the switch

Please test and stabilize:

=dev-libs/libusbx-1.0.17

[Comment 1 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2013-10-20 11:43:44 UTC]

In fact, please test and stabilize:

=dev-libs/libusbx-1.0.17
=dev-libs/libusb-compat-0.1.5-r2
=virtual/libusb-0-r1
=virtual/libusb-1-r1

Hi Ross,

I'm the libusb upstream maintainer who also tries to help manage the libusbx mess for Gentoo.

> Output from emerge command including std err.

It looks like you run into this error because there is restructuring of the libusb ebuilds going on with regard to multilib, in a way which isn't backwards compatible and where portage doesn't seem to find the way to resolve the dependencies.

Try: emerge =dev-libs/libusb-1.0.9-r2

That should satisfy the new requirement of virtual/libusb-1-r1. I do think that it is completely broken to require only the very latest rev in the virtual. Sad face.

[Comment 9 Ross Drummond 2014-01-06 08:28:28 UTC]

(In reply to Peter Stuge from comment #8)

I resolved this block by;

removing libusb and virtual/libusb, then

installed libusbx, and

installed virtual/libusb

I then ran revdep-rebuild which reported no errors

Peter, thank you for your assistance.
