Bug 74969 – kde-base/kdemultimedia 3.3.2-r1 fails if libmad is not installed (no dependency)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description schaedpq 2004-12-19 14:01:56 UTC]

If libmad is not installed, the emerging of kdemultimedia-3.3.2-r1 fails (error given below). 
The ebuild contains no dependency on libmad. Additionally, there is a USE flag "mad", which is not honored by kdemultimedia.


Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -C libmad (if libmad is installed)
2. emerge \=kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.3.2-r1
3. 

Actual Results:  
The setting of the "mad" USE flag has no effect on the build.  The
kdemultimedia ebuild apparently requires libmad as a dependancy, but fails to
install this first (as libmad is not in "DEPEND").  So if you don't already have
libmad installed, the build will die with the error given below.
After libmad is installed manually, the ebuild works as expected.


Expected Results:  
USE flag "mad" should be honored if possible:
If "mad" USE flag is set, libmad should be a dependency of kdemultimedia and
installed by emerge before kdemultimedia.
If "-mad" USE flag is set, libmad should not be a dependency.
(Even if libmad is a hard/non-optional dependency, it should stated in "DEPEND"
in the ebuild.)

The ebuild breaks with the following error:

[Comment 1 Simone Gotti (RETIRED) 2004-12-19 14:14:27 UTC]

libmad isn't needed by kdemultimedia (juk) but it's a dependency of libtunepimp (media-libs/tunepimp).

BTW Using: "emerge -Du kdemultimedia" will bring up also libmad if it was disinstalled.
