Description Jorge Sarmiento 2005-06-10 13:52:04 UTC

When trying to emerge xfsprogs in a system WITHOUT e2fsprogs
installed, the following error occurrs:
___________________________________________________
(...)
checking for uuid/uuid.h... yes
checking for uuid_compare... no
checking for uuid_compare in -luuid... no

FATAL ERROR: could not find a valid UUID library.
Install the Universally Unique Identifiers library package.

!!! Please attach the config.log to your bug report:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/xfsprogs-2.6.25/work/xfsprogs-2.6.25/config.log

!!! ERROR: sys-fs/xfsprogs-2.6.25 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 485, Exitcode 0
!!! econf failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

___________________________________________________

Uuid support doesn't fullfill xfsprogs requirements unless e2fsprogs is
previously installed.

e2fsprogs should be considered a dependency before installing xfsprogs.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install a system without e2fsprogs
2. try to emerge xfsprogs


Actual Results:  
(...)
checking for uuid/uuid.h... yes
checking for uuid_compare... no
checking for uuid_compare in -luuid... no

FATAL ERROR: could not find a valid UUID library.
Install the Universally Unique Identifiers library package.

!!! Function econf, Line 485, Exitcode 0
!!! econf failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

Expected Results:  
installed e2fsprogs before emerging xfsprogs

Hmm, I really don´t know how did you manage to have a system without e2fsprogs
since it is in /usr/portage/profiles/base.

You broke it, you fix it. No need for such dependency in xfsprogs.
