Description ignamartinoli 2022-08-19 04:54:44 UTC
when first installed dev-ml/opam, one has to run `opam init` to generate config files etc.
When doing so the user is met with the error message saying that `opam` has a dependency on `bwrap`.
This is documented in: https://opam.ocaml.org/doc/FAQ.html#Why-does-opam-require-bwrap
The solution would be installing sys-apps/bubblewrap as a dependency since dev-ml/opam cannot operate without it.
I created a pull request already for fixing this at: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/26904
I'm actually not really that knowledgeable about ebuilds, so review would be appreciated.
