Bug 9564 – pango fails to install until sgmltools-lite is installed

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description John Ouzts 2002-10-23 12:52:15 UTC]

bin/install reports ./html/index.sgml missing until sgmltools-lite is 
installed. Appears to be a missing dependency.

What appears to be a missing dependency.. which version of pango ? Can you give
me the relevant output in full ?

./html/index.sgml exists so install shouldnt report it as missing.

I was attempting an "emerge -u world". 
 
The new version of pango (1.0.5) would not install until I installed  
sgmltools-lite, which was not on my system. After I installed it, the install  
ran perfectly. I suspect you will have the same experience if you unmerge  
sgmltools-lite and attempt to emerge pango, although nothing is certain in  
this world.  
 
Here is the sequence of errors (not from my machine, but from the exactly  
similar sequence from the Forums from last July that told me the fix

Well a quick fix is to install with USE="-doc", problem is that i don't think
pango should dep on sgmltools-lite. So i should figure out what should.

[Comment 4 John Ouzts 2002-10-28 08:39:07 UTC]

Sounds reasonable to me. Many thanks.

Ok, i had trouble finding the right dep so i took the easy way out and added it
to  pango for now. Bottomeline is, this problem should be fixed ;) 1.0.5 now has
sgmltools-lite as dep.
