Description Derek Berube 2005-01-24 06:03:00 UTC

While trying to fix a problem with evolution-2.0.3-r1, I encountered the problem documented in bug 79232 which deals with "net-libs/gnutls-1.1.23 links to previous version of gnutls'.  After emerging net-libs/gnutls-1.1.23 a second time, I noticed the following message:

 * An API has changed in gnutls. This is why the library has gone from
 * libgnutls.so.11 to libgnutls.so.12.
 *
 * What is required is a revdep-rebuild.
 * To show you what is needed to rebuild
 * revdep-rebuild --soname libgnutls.so.10 -- -p
 *
 * Then do:
 * revdep-rebuild --soname libgnutls.so.10
 *
 * Afterward just try:
 * revdep-rebuild -- -p
 * to see if there are any other packages broken.
 * To rebuild these:
 * revdep-rebuild

I didnt' see this the first time I emerged this package because I was emerging about ten packages at the same time.

The message needs to be changed to instruct the users to run

revdep-rebuild --soname libgnutls.so.11 -- -p

rather than 

revdep-rebuild --soname libgnutls.so.10 -- -p

Because the latter doens't display a list of packages that need to be rebuilt; however, the former comes up with the following list:

[ebuild   R   ] net-libs/libsoup-2.2.1
[ebuild   R   ] gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-1.0.3
[ebuild   R   ] gnome-extra/evolution-webcal-2.0.1
[ebuild   R   ] mail-client/evolution-2.0.3-r1
[ebuild   R   ] mail-client/ximian-connector-2.0.2-r1
[ebuild   R   ] net-libs/libsoup-2.1.12




Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge net-libs/gnutls-1.1.23
2. Run revdep-rebuild --soname libgnutls.so.10 -- -p
3. Nothing is flagged to be rebuilt.
3. Run revdep-rebuild --soname libgnutls.so.11 -- -p
4. A list of packages to be rebuilt is displayed.

Actual Results:  
When I ran revdep-rebuild --soname libgnutls.so.10 -- -p, I got the following:

wildstar ~ # revdep-rebuild --soname libgnutls.so.10 -- -p

Expected Results:  
When I ran revdep-rebuild --soname libgnutls.so.11 -- -p, I got the following:

All prepared. Starting rebuild...
emerge --oneshot --nodeps -p =net-libs/libsoup-2.2.1 =gnome-extra/evolution-data
-server-1.0.3 =gnome-extra/evolution-webcal-2.0.1 =mail-client/evolution-2.0.3-r
1 =mail-client/ximian-connector-2.0.2-r1 =net-libs/libsoup-2.1.12

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies       ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] net-libs/libsoup-2.2.1
[ebuild   R   ] gnome-extra/evolution-data-server-1.0.3
[ebuild   R   ] gnome-extra/evolution-webcal-2.0.1
[ebuild   R   ] mail-client/evolution-2.0.3-r1
[ebuild   R   ] mail-client/ximian-connector-2.0.2-r1
[ebuild   R   ] net-libs/libsoup-2.1.12
Now you can remove -p (or --pretend) from arguments and re-run revdep-rebuild.

Comment 1 TGL 2005-01-24 11:17:52 UTC

Don't know if that's a good idea, but i've patched gnutls ebuild so that it keeps the old version of the libs until user manually delete them. That is similar to what is done for instance in recent versions of the media-libs/alsa-lib ebuild, and avoids having some temporary broken packages when the user has not yet ran his revdep-rebuild. I will attach a patch (it uses the preserve_old_lib() function from eutils.eclass).

Comment 3 Derek Berube 2005-01-29 21:34:18 UTC

Sorry.  I guess I shouldn't have been so presumptuous as to prescribe a solution to the situation I encountered in the bug summary.  I guess I was getting a little ahead of myself when I was able to get everything going :-).

I'm all up and running without a problem, so as far as I'm concerned this bug can be closed.  I don't know if it is good etiquette for me to do that.

solutions are welcome. We just reserve the right to vet them. Please don't close this - The rebuild step on itself should be unncessary.

gnutls-1.2 commited. seems to fix the self recompile issue.

Comment 6 Daniel Black (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

won't fix - 1.2.0 seem to be working ok. 1.1.23* removed.
