Bug 669936 – net-fs/samba-4.8.6 USE=python causes endless revdep-rebuild

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Robert R. Richter 2018-10-29 18:43:56 UTC]

Compiling Samba with the Python-Use-Flag set, causes revdep-rebuild to compile samba again and again. Problem won't go away, after each rebuild of samba, revdep-rebuild wants to compile samba again.

The same behavior has been reported on the Funtoo-Forums. There, they suggest to compile samba without the python-use-flag. They are right, I've tested it without python -> works. Look at: https://forums.funtoo.org/topic/1335-revdep-rebuild-causes-net-fssamba-471-rebuild/

This problem still exists in samba-4.8.6 !!

Reproducible: Always

$ ldd /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/samba/dsdb_dns.so | grep found
	libdnsserver-common-samba4.so => not found

According to the build log "libdnsserver-common-samba4.so" was built, but not installed. It is probably a part of domain controller and only installed if USE=addc.

Happens to me too: endless loop of:

 * This is the new python coded version
 * Please report any bugs found using it.
 * The original revdep-rebuild script is installed as revdep-rebuild.sh
 * Please file bugs at: https://bugs.gentoo.org/
 * Found a valid cache, skipping collecting phase
 * Scanning files
 * Checking dynamic linking consistency
 * Broken files that require: libdnsserver-common-samba4.so (64 bits)
        * /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/samba/dsdb_dns.so
 * Assign files to packages
        * /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/samba/dsdb_dns.so -> net-fs/samba-4.8.6

Please fix
