Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2018-09-19 00:48:57 UTC

net-libs/http-parser often has changes in soname of library in new minor versions, so its ebuilds have different subslots.


dev-util/cargo has dependency on net-libs/http-parser:= but dev-lang/rust[cargo] currently has dependency on net-libs/http-parser without ":=".


(I do not know if dependencies of dev-lang/rust-bin[cargo] are even slightly correct. scanelf and grep suggest that no...)

This has been fixed in 1.29.1, thanks for reporting.

Comment 2 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2018-09-30 00:20:50 UTC

I see that in rust-bin, net-libs/http-parser was changed to net-libs/http-parser:= but := operator does not make sense in pre-built packages. "net-libs/http-parser:${some_specific_hardcoded_slot_and_subslot}" could be used, but I do not know what value should be used, since scanelf and grep find nothing.

Maybe upstream has built rust-bin with statically linked http-parser? (It would mean that rust-bin should not have such dependency.)

Yeah, I think that's what they intended to do. git2-sys seems to want to build http-parser from the vendored sources, but somehow on Gentoo stilll pulls in the installed stuff?
