Bug 639866 – dev-libs/icu dependency causing unresolvable blockages

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 621532
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Harris Landgarten 2017-12-05 00:03:23 UTC]

nodejs and possibly snapper now require >=icu-59

webkit-gtk:2 requires icu-58 and will not build with icu-60. This also breaks gnucash with depends on webkit-gtk:2 and will not run or build the icu-60 installed.

I strongly suggest we need a slot for icu:58

please create one ticket per package.

 nodejs-0.12.17.ebuild : DEPEND -=- icu? ( dev-libs/icu )

You should be able to pick one of those and locally mask what you don't want.

The issue is the webkit-gtk:2 dependency on icu:58

There is a patch that lets it build with icu:60 but it is not in the tree

I wasn't able to find such a dependency in the webkit-gtk:2 ebuild.

So isn't this rather a duplicate of bug 621532?

[Comment 6 Harris Landgarten 2017-12-19 23:43:59 UTC]

yes, that is where I got the patch for webkit-gtk:2.
