Bug 521832 – www-client/firefox-31 USE=system-sqlite should depend on >=dev-db/sqlite-3.8.4.2 - configure: error: Library requirements (sqlite3 >= 3.8.4.2) not met

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Maciej S. Szmigiero 2014-08-31 17:04:13 UTC]

www-client/firefox-31[system-sqlite] needs sqlite >= 3.8.4.2, but ebuild specifies dep as >=dev-db/sqlite-3.8.3.1:3

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have >=dev-db/sqlite-3.8.3.1 && <dev-db/sqlite-3.8.4.2 installed
2. Emerge www-client/firefox-31[system-sqlite]
3. Watch it failing configure step
Actual Results:  
checking for sqlite3 >= 3.8.4.2... Requested 'sqlite3 >= 3.8.4.2' but version of SQLite is 3.8.4.1
configure: error: Library requirements (sqlite3 >= 3.8.4.2) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.


Expected Results:  
Package should depend on newer sqlite version.

1) Please post your `emerge --info' output in a comment.
2) Please attach the entire build log to this bug report.

Well, I've already updated sqlite to make firefox build, so I can't paste build log.

But this is fairly obvious if you compare line in FF's configure.in ( https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-esr31/file/ee9672037b71/configure.in#l74 ), which states:
SQLITE_VERSION=3.8.4.2
and later (line 6536):
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(SQLITE, sqlite3 >= $SQLITE_VERSION)

with dep in firefox-31.1.0.ebuild:
system-sqlite? ( >=dev-db/sqlite-3.8.3.1:3[secure-delete,debug=] )

Already fixed in-tree ; a revbump will be coming shortly as well after some hardened stuff is adjusted.
