Bug 670568 – app-emulation/lxd-3.5 should depend on net-libs/libnsl

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Terra 2018-11-07 07:24:34 UTC]

lxd-3.5 needs both DEPEND and RDEPEND for net-libs/libnsl

I'm finding references to it in both:
1) lxd-3.5/dist/dqlite
2) lxd-3.5/dist/sqlite/autoconf/tea/tclconfig

Why it didn't fail in the configure phase when it wasn't found seems to be an upstream issue.  Nevertheless, the dependency is still needed.

Is this reproducible in 3.5-r1 or 3.6-r1?  I suspect that the fix for https://bugs.gentoo.org/669008 fixes your linking issue also.

Hello Erik,

Unfortunately, the same problem exists for both:
1) app-emulation/lxd-3.5-r1
2) app-emulation/lxd-3.6-r1

if net-libs/libnsl is not installed at time of compilation.  If I manually install libnsl, lxd compiles and installs fine.

I didn't catch this until now because where I had previously run lxd had libnsl pulled in by net-fs/samba, but installing on a new system where libnsl wasn't a dependency of any installed package caused the problem to surface.

The flags I'm using are: app-emulation/lxd-3.5 daemon dnsmasq ipv6 nls

FWIW, I tried to see if any use flags were the culprit:
$ USE="-daemon -dnsmasq -ipv6 -nls" ebuild lxd-3.6-r1.ebuild compile

Unfortunately, the same linking issue remains:
>> /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/7.3.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lnsl

It would seem that dqlite has a hard dependency for it and libnsl is not checked for existence during its configure phase.

Hope that helps.
