Description Dewey Sasser 2005-04-20 13:09:33 UTC

I emerge "bastille".  When I run it it says "WARNING: /usr/bin/perl cannot find Perl module Tk." and exits.  The gentoo-portage docs specify that bastille requires perl-tk (http://www.gentoo-portage.com/app-admin/bastille/dep).  After manually emerging perl-tk bastille runs and prompts for license.  It fails to run in X windows mode (my X configuration may be at fault for this one) but runs in text mode with the "-c" flag.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
emerge bastille
run "bastille" at root prompt. See error
emerge perl-tk
run "bastille" at root prompt.  See license agreement.

This is noted in the postinst. Please read that...

 * When not using the Tk interface you will need to start use the -c flag when calling bastille from command line. example bastille -c --os GE1.4

Furthermore, perl-tk is in DEPEND, controlled conditionally by USE=X. I thought I fixed the frontend at some point, but I'll look at it again for the upcoming release to try and have it detect Tk support automagically. Thanks.
