Bug 469948 – app-text/libwps-0.2.8 should depend on >=dev-libs/boost-1.50

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Toni Ballesta 2013-05-15 11:24:21 UTC]

It requires ">dev-libs/boost-1.50" but not reclaim it. In amd64 (no known other), these version is masked and I need unmask for work.

[Comment 1 Toni Ballesta 2013-05-15 11:26:59 UTC]

version 0.2.8

[Comment 2 Zac Medico 2013-05-15 14:54:29 UTC]

Which version of libwps is it? 0.2.7 or 0.2.8? Please attach a build log.

[Comment 3 Tomáš Chvátal (RETIRED) 2013-05-15 15:34:36 UTC]

I can't see any reason why it should require this boost.

It had the required information: it was very strongly worded, so if you want to knock it down as invalid, just go ahead and do that, or ask for more information and inquire further.

Don't CC me again, right?

[Comment 6 Toni Ballesta 2013-05-15 15:55:03 UTC]

Recompiling. Please wait...

I managed to trigger it maybe

go to your folder

/usr/include/

and list for boost and boost-something folders.

check that boost is symlink to boost-something and not some garbage folder.

[Comment 11 Toni Ballesta 2013-05-29 07:05:16 UTC]

Yes, it have boost.backup.0000 and 0001, linked to boost-1_49. Deleting and recompiling for check...

[Comment 12 Toni Ballesta 2013-05-29 07:39:09 UTC]

With the linked backups removed, it seems to compile ok, with 1.49! Past day, before create bug, I see this backups in /usr/include, but I don't delete it. Only are backups! I don't understand...

The problem is probably of Boost-1.49, that don't create/delete correctly the links.

Thanks!
