Bug 668988 – kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools: dependencies looks weird

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Today `emerge -uDNa world` shows me unexpected amount of new packages which looks like main parts of KDE desktop:

[ebuild  N     ] kde-frameworks/ktexteditor-5.50.0  USE="-debug -doc -editorconfig -git -test" 
[ebuild  N     ] kde-frameworks/frameworkintegration-5.50.0  USE="X -appstream -debug -test" 
[ebuild  N     ] kde-frameworks/plasma-5.50.0  USE="X -debug -doc -gles2 -test -wayland" 
[ebuild  N     ] kde-frameworks/krunner-5.50.0  USE="-debug -doc -test" 
[ebuild  N     ] kde-plasma/libksysguard-5.13.5  USE="X detailedmemory -debug -minimal -test" 
[ebuild  N     ] kde-plasma/ksysguard-5.13.5  USE="handbook -debug -lm_sensors" 
[ebuild  N     ] kde-plasma/milou-5.13.5  USE="-debug -test" 
[ebuild  N     ] kde-plasma/kscreenlocker-5.13.5  USE="pam seccomp -debug -test" 
[ebuild  N     ] kde-plasma/breeze-5.13.5  USE="X -debug -wayland" 
[ebuild  N     ] kde-plasma/plasma-integration-5.13.5  USE="-debug -test" 
[ebuild  N     ] kde-plasma/kwin-5.13.5  USE="caps handbook -debug -gles2 -multimedia -test" 
[ebuild  N     ] kde-plasma/plasma-workspace-5.13.5-r1  USE="handbook -appstream -calendar -debug -geolocation -gps -prison -qalculate -semantic-desktop -systemd -test" 

I've checked dependency tree, and it looks like this (part of output):

[ebuild     U  ] kde-plasma/kde-gtk-config-5.13.5 [5.12.5]
[ebuild     U  ]  kde-plasma/kde-cli-tools-5.13.5 [5.12.5]
[ebuild  N     ]   kde-plasma/plasma-workspace-5.13.5-r1  USE="calendar handbook semantic-desktop -appstream -debug -geolocation -gps -prison -qalculate -systemd -test" 
[ebuild  N     ]    kde-plasma/kwin-5.13.5  USE="caps handbook -debug -gles2 -multimedia -test" 
[ebuild  N     ]    kde-plasma/plasma-integration-5.13.5  USE="-debug -test" 
[ebuild  N     ]     kde-plasma/breeze-5.13.5  USE="X -debug -wayland" 
[ebuild  N     ]    kde-plasma/kscreenlocker-5.13.5  USE="pam seccomp -debug -test" 
[nomerge       ] kde-plasma/kwin-5.13.5  USE="caps handbook -debug -gles2 -multimedia -test" 
[nomerge       ]  kde-plasma/breeze-5.13.5  USE="X -debug -wayland" 
[ebuild  N     ]   kde-frameworks/frameworkintegration-5.50.0  USE="X -appstream -debug -test" 

This looks weird to me: I'm not using KDE desktop, but I do use some KDE configuration tools to configure few installed KDE apps. And I don't really happy to install core packages of KDE desktop… So, are you sure these dependencies are correct and there is no way to continue using some KDE apps without installing whole KDE?

Hello Alex, I believe the forums (or irc) will be a better place to ask questions like this. However, if you find out the dependencies are really wrong, feel free to file a bug report.

It doesn't look like a question to me, but like a problem that proved difficult to formulate. It certainly shouldn't have been marked invalid.

Well, no matter how weird those dependencies look they are the result of upstream build-time dependency changes.

Upgrade to 5.14.2 to get rid of (most of) these deps again, we made a downstream effort to package libkworkspace separately there.
