Bug 647716 – net-misc/dropbox-43.x should depend on dev-libs/leveldb dev-qt/qtsql

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Phil Stracchino (Unix Ronin) 2018-02-15 13:45:05 UTC]

net-misc/dropbox-43 depends on dev-qt/qtwebkit, dev-libs/leveldb, dev-qt/qtsql (why it depends on qtsql I have no idea).  However, these are not declared as dependencies, so if nothing else installed depends on them, an emerge -avc will remove them, leaving net-misc/dropbox with missing-dependency preserved libs:

!!! existing preserved libs:

Use emerge @preserved-rebuild to rebuild packages using these libraries

But because they are not declared as dependencies, emerge @preserved-rebuild will not rebuild the missing packages and will not fix the problem.  Explicitly emerging these three required packages *as well* so that the dropbox dependencies are satisfied pulls in 20 packages in all, because QtWebkit pulls in ruby, and ruby pulls in ...

babylon5:root:~:8 # emerge -av dev-qt/qtwebkit dev-qt/qtsql dev-libs/leveldb net-misc/dropbox

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Actually I guess it's QtWebkit that's pulling in QtSql ...  but the result is the same.

[Comment 2 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2018-02-15 16:40:31 UTC]

dev-qt/qtwebkit is already covered.

[Comment 3 Denis Tokarev 2019-02-11 13:56:48 UTC]

Actually, dropbox should depend directly on qtsql:

ldd /opt/dropbox/libQt5WebKit.so.5 |& grep -i sql
	libQt5Sql.so.5 => /usr/lib64/libQt5Sql.so.5 (0x00007fed183f8000)

[Comment 4 Denis Tokarev 2019-02-11 13:58:21 UTC]

And on a current system, qtwebkit doesn't pull qtsql

[Comment 5 Ben Kohler 2019-10-01 21:42:16 UTC]

I have just bumped dropbox, and as far as I can see this new version now supplies libQt5Sql.so.5 and nothing uses libmemenv from leveldb.

I'd like to close this bug eventually, after a newer version of dropbox is marked stable, but please let me know if this issue does still affect 81.4.195
