Bug 93262 – Circular Dependency of Qt and Arts

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description sigloiv 2005-05-19 15:50:19 UTC]

ARTS is a dependency of Qt, yet ARTS (while running ./configure) says it cannot 
find Qt and therfore cannot install.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -uavt qt
2.type 'y'
3.Hit Enter

Actual Results:  
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.3) (headers and libraries) not 
found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.



Expected Results:  
Finished emerging properly.

No circular dependency. aRts depends on Qt and can't find it. Which Qt versions
do you have installed? Please attach the aRts config.log

[Comment 2 sigloiv 2005-05-20 19:51:01 UTC]

Actually, Qt wasn't installed at all. I had 'arts' in my USE flags and so Qt
assumed it would be able to install arts. 

I did find a temporary workaround though. I just took changed 'arts' in my USE
flags to '-arts' and emerged Qt. Then, in order to emerge arts, I changed my USE
flags back and typed 'emerge --newuse qt'.

[Comment 3 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2005-05-24 08:55:25 UTC]

Qt doesn't have any direct dependency on arts.  If what you say is true, then 
it's some kind of obscure indirect dependency via another package. 

[Comment 4 sigloiv 2005-05-24 15:27:54 UTC]

Well, as you can see, my USE flags are very extensive so what you say must me 
true.

[Comment 5 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2005-05-24 16:35:40 UTC]

emerge -upvt or something like that may show the tree as to why qt is wanting
arts.  

[Comment 6 sigloiv 2005-05-24 17:15:06 UTC]

Actually, I use -uavt. Unfortunately, I've already used the workaround I stated 
above so I no longer have the dependency tree. I guess you could say the bug is 
"fixed" with a workaround. I'll close it now.
