Bug 636082 – app-admin/apache-tools fails to build with sys-libs/db-5.3 on ARM: /usr/lib/gcc/armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi/5.4.0/../../../../armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: cannot find -ldb-4.8

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Nelson 2017-10-31 17:17:47 UTC]

Emerging apache-tools-2.4.27 with db-5.3.28-r2 instead of db-4.8.30-r2 fails on ARM arch. The log files showing it are here:

https://pastebin.com/CmeL9jPK

https://pastebin.com/Hw4KcSVY

The workaround was to emerge =sys-libs/db-4.8.30-r2, keeping both versions.

I doubt that this is really an issue with apache-tools but rather with dev-libs/apr-util[-gdbm]

Can you please run the following command on the affected system and post its output here?

qlist -e apr-util | xargs --no-run-if-empty scanelf -L -n -q -F '%n #F' | tr , '\n' | xargs --no-run-if-empty readlink -f | uniq | xargs --no-run-if-empty qfile -CS | sort -u

That command requires app-portage/portage-utils (qlist) and app-misc/pax-utils (scanelf) to be installed.

Furthermore please post the output of the follwing command:

emerge --info apr-util apache-tools

Small correction, I suppose it's an issue with dev-libs/apr-util[berkdb]

emerge --info

This is the emerge --info apr-util apache-tools

Just as I suspected. apr-util has been built against sys-libs/db-4.8 and this breaks compilation of apache-tools if sys-libs/db-4.8 has been replaced with a newer version.
Please try to build apr-util against the newer version of sys-libs/db and your issue with apache-tools should go away.

Seems like rebuilding apr-util worked. Wasn't portage supposed to take care of dependencies such as this one?
