Description Michael Haubenwallner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-01-09 08:33:48 UTC
Unlike Prefix/RAP, in Prefix/Guest we do _not_ install sys-kernel/linux-headers inside Prefix, but use host OS' glibc and kernel headers.
Hence packages should not depend on sys-kernel/linux-headers directly, but virtual/os-headers instead.

Along bug#579228, DEPEND=">=sys-kernel/linux-headers-3.17" was introduced to libbsd, but emerging dev-libs/libbsd-0.9.1 (without linux-headers-3.17) does succeed in Prefix/Guest on RHEL 7.2, which has kernel-headers-3.10.0 installed.

This makes me think that either libbsd was fixed meanwhile to deal with older linux headers, or this was another problem and introducing the dep was a workaround only.

Thoughts?

My first idea here was this change, but that feels strange at least:
-DEPEND=">=sys-kernel/linux-headers-3.17"
+DEPEND="|| ( >=sys-kernel/linux-headers-3.17 virtual/os-headers )"

Thanks!
