To build the package it needs to have dev-lang/python-2* installed before setting that version to active. * Package: sys-libs/libieee1284-0.2.11-r2 * Repository: gentoo * Maintainer: base-system@gentoo.org * USE: amd64 consolekit elibc_glibc kernel_linux multilib policykit userland_GNU * FEATURES: sandbox * ERROR: sys-libs/libieee1284-0.2.11-r2 failed (setup phase): * python_set_active_version(): '=dev-lang/python-2*' is not installed * * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 93: Called pkg_setup * libieee1284-0.2.11-r2.ebuild, line 29: Called python_set_active_version '2' * python.eclass, line 1746: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die "${FUNCNAME}(): '=dev-lang/python-2*' is not installed" * * If you need support, post the output of `emerge --info '=sys-libs/libieee1284-0.2.11-r2'`, * the complete build log and the output of `emerge -pqv '=sys-libs/libieee1284-0.2.11-r2'`. * The complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/libieee1284-0.2.11-r2/temp/build.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/libieee1284-0.2.11-r2/temp/die.env'. * Working directory: '/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/libieee1284-0.2.11-r2' * S: '/var/tmp/portage/sys-libs/libieee1284-0.2.11-r2/work/libieee1284-0.2.11'
Actually it compiles fine without python2 here, it just should not call 'python_set_active_version 2' in pkg_setup if useflag python is off. I tested this by removing python_set_active_version from the ebuild and compiling it. (I dont have python2 installed on my system, only python 3.2). So it should NOT depend on python-2 imo.
should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report! Commit message: Only setup python when USE=python http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-libs/libieee1284/libieee1284-0.2.11-r2.ebuild?r1=1.6&r2=1.7
