Bug 51353 – net-misc/whois and dev-tcltk/expect conflict with each other

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2004-05-18 00:13:20 UTC]

both install

/usr/bin/mkpasswd
/usr/share/man/man1/mkpasswd.1.gz

[Comment 1 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2004-05-23 12:38:08 UTC]

carlo, are both mkpasswd's identical (code, binary and manpage)?

If so, then my suggestion would be to make a separate ebuild for mkpasswd and have whois and expect both PDEPEND on that package.

[Comment 2 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2004-05-23 14:35:38 UTC]

No, the 'whois' version is a libcrypt.so frontend with a very different option set, compared to the other one.

[Comment 3 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2004-05-23 19:25:19 UTC]

in that case, expect needs to be made to install something other than "mkpasswd" and it (and things which depend on it) need to be made aware of it.

expect-5.37.1-r2.ebuild

* mkpasswd (and other examples) installed in /usr/share/doc (debian stores them
in similar place)
* removed static libraries (both copies)

TODO: find anything this breaks

expect-5.37.1-r2.ebuild

* dont remove /usr/lib/expect5.37/pkgIndex.tcl so this works:
#!/usr/bin/tclsh
package require Expect
puts [package versions Expect]

looked at net-mail/courier-imap, media-sound/waif, dev-util/dejagnu,
mail-client/exmh, net-misc/xsmbrowser, sys-libs/pam_ssh_agent, x11-misc/x2vnc -
non seem to compile against expect libraries, only use /usr/bin/expect

package is similar to debian one (doesn't have static libs either)

Created attachment 32711 [details]
expect-5.37.1-r2.ebuild

* fix paths in man pages and example scripts
* keep static lib as in debian's expect-dev

thank you stan, I'll get on these, unless you want them, Carlo?

[Comment 8 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) 2004-06-05 09:20:35 UTC]

Nope, I'm just the reporter in this case.

[Comment 9 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2004-07-12 22:11:17 UTC]

stan, I don't suppose you'd have a new 5.40 ebuild too would you?

stan, would you be interested in being part of the dev-tcltk team by any chance?

[Comment 12 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2004-07-13 11:24:31 UTC]

fixed in portage -- stan email me if you're interested, k?
