Bug 5098 – gconf 1.2.0-r3 doesn't install gconf-sanity-check-2 related stuff (needed by gnome-session 2.0.2)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Sean P. Kane 2002-07-16 11:26:43 UTC]

gconf does not install the gconf-sanity-check-2 stuff and that causes
gnome-session to failing building with:

checking for gconftool-2... /usr/bin/gconftool-2
Using config source xml::/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults for schema installation
Using $(sysconfdir)/gconf/schemas/ as install directory for schema files
checking for gconf-sanity-check-2... no
configure: error: gconf-sanity-check-2 executable not found in your path -
should be installed with GConf

!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 9, Exitcode 1
!!! (no error message)

!!! emerge aborting on 
/usr/portage/gnome-base/gnome-session/gnome-session-2.0.2.ebuild .

Hmmm, well, I emerged gconf again by hand (simply "emerge gconf") and the
sanity-check stuff got installed. I then went on to gnome-session and so far so
good, so maybe this is fixed already.

Just to add to this: I also encountered this problem. I'm assuming that the
gconf-sanity-check-2 portion of the GConf build had an unsatisfied dependancy
that silenty caused it not to build the first time around. Just a guess though.

Created attachment 2360 [details]
gconf-install-log

this is the log from a fresh "emerge gnome". as you can see,
"gconf-sanity-check-2" doesn't get installed

Okay, I'm building a fixed version that handles this, big thanks for the build
log as it gave the final clue on what it was :)
(gtk+ is optional dep)
