Amarok 1.2 beta1 needs musicbrainz to build properly and only kde 3.3.1 and higher installs it. Musicbrainz should be added to the amarok ebuild as a dependency. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Emerge amarok 2. 3. Actual Results: Stopped emerging with an error of couldn't find musisbrainz.la Expected Results: Compiled successfully
amarok depends on tunepimp, that depends on musicbrainz. Could you try to find out why it was not picked up?
I unemerged musicbrainz and tried to see how to get it back by emerging amaroK. The only time that it showed up in the list to emerge was when I was using the --deep flag. Everything else didn't pull it up as something that was needed. I also checked what happened when tunepimp wasn't already installed. When it isn't installed, then it catches that it needs musicbrainz. From what I can tell, tunepimp was installed with kdemultimedia and since it was already there, it didn't check whether all of its dependicies had been installed.
There's nothing to do then: portage does not scan the dependency tree unless you use --deep, it assumes that installed dependencies are not broken...
