Description Robin Smidsrød 2004-10-16 04:03:44 UTC

It seems like gconf-1.0.9 doesn't list dependency to gnome-base/oaf.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gnome-base/gconf-1.0.9
2. 
3.

Actual Results:  
Ebuild fails with finding oaf-config.

Expected Results:  
Successfull build.

If I manually emerge oaf-0.6.10 before emerging gconf-1.0.9 everything works as
expected.

OAF is a core gnome library and I shouldn't have to place it in my world file.
Please fix this, it should be fairly easy.

I don't know if you are using dep-clean or something similar, but gconf-1.0.9 has a dep on oaf.

Comment 2 Robin Smidsrød 2004-10-16 05:01:26 UTC

First I used emerge depclean, and it stated that oaf was no longer needed.

Then I ran revdep-rebuild, and it states that gconf is missing libraries, but trying to run the revdep script blocks my install of gconf since oaf-config isn't anywhere to be found.

Maybe I should've just ran emerge without the "--nodeps" argument (from revdep-rebuild) to get things working again?
