Bug 20941 – Missing dependency in the colorgcc-1.3.2-r3 ebuild

• Status: VERIFIED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tony Vroon (RETIRED) 2003-05-13 11:02:43 UTC]

Colorgcc needs the CPAN module Term_ANSIScreen, but this is not listed as a
dependency. Emerging colorgcc and adding it's wrapper to the PATH will not have
any effect if Term_ANSIScreen happens to not be installed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. make sure Term_ANSIScreen is not emerged
2. emerge colorgcc

Actual Results:  
Term_ANSIScreen was not merged, while it was needed. colorgcc did not function.

Expected Results:  
Term_ANSIScreen should have been merged by the colorgcc ebuild.

The patch is included.

Works here without.

Tony: Do you know if this issue is still present with the newer colorgcc-1.3.2-r4
ebuild?

[Comment 4 Wayne Davison 2003-10-06 08:19:19 UTC]

Colorgcc doesn't use Term::ANSIScreen, it uses Term::ANSIColor, which is
a part of all the perl releases that are in portage. So, I don't see how
Term::ANSIScreen could be affecting anything.

You may close this as RESO INVA, as it was before.
I believe the bugzilla dbase work may have put it's status at NEW again.

Silly Bugzilla glitches....
