Bug 549888 – dev-perl/File-MimeInfo-0.270.0 should depend on dev-perl/File-BaseDir

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Francisco J. Vazquez 2015-05-19 10:36:51 UTC]

After upgrading File-MimeInfo today from 0.260 to 0.270 I get this error when running xdg-open:

Can't locate File/BaseDir.pm in @INC (you may need to install the File::BaseDir module) (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.20.2/x86_64-linux /usr/local/lib64/perl5/5.20.2 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.2/x86_64-linux /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.2 /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/5.20.2/x86_64-linux /usr/lib64/perl5/5.20.2 .) at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.2/File/MimeInfo/Magic.pm line 6.

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 1) line 1.
xdg-mime: mimetype argument missing
Try 'xdg-mime --help' for more information.

Indeed, in line 6 of /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.2/File/MimeInfo/Magic.pm there is a line "use File::BaseDir qw/data_files/;". It even complains during emerging:

Warning: prerequisite File::BaseDir 0.03 not found.
Warning: prerequisite File::DesktopEntry 0.04 not found.

Emerging File::BaseDir manually solves the problem. 

The File::BaseDir dependency was there in File-MimeInfo-0.260.0 (as well as File-DesktopEntry). Why were they removed?

Reproducible: Always

260 has the correct deps but not 270. Last version bumped made by dilfridge:

-File-MimeInfo-0.170.0-r1.ebuild, +File-MimeInfo-0.270.0.ebuild:
Version bump

I think it's a mistake. I will add the deps back.
