Bug 745471 – media-sound/abcde-2.9.3-r1 is missing dependency media-libs/glyr

• Status: CONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andreas Thalhammer 2020-09-29 20:53:32 UTC]

After emerging media-sound/abcde, it constantly fails due to a missing command: "glyrc". After emerging media-libs/glyr-1.0.10, the error is gone.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
# abcde
[ERROR] abcde: glyrc is not in your path.
[INFO] Define the full path to the executable if it exists on your system.
#



# emerge -av media-sound/abcde

[Comment 1 Andreas Thalhammer 2020-09-29 21:16:09 UTC]

To clerify: The problem is, that I have to manually install media-libs/glyr for media-sound/abcde to work.

Now glyr is in my world file, where it's not supposed to be, because should I ever depclean media-sound/abcde, media-libs/glyr would stay on my system. This is undesirable.

The other option would be to install media-libs/glyr without adding it to the world file. But now it would be listed for depclean every time, since it is not a dependency of another package.

Thus, the real soltion is to add media-libs/glyr as a dependency for media-sound/abcde...

I just hit this same thing where abcde failed to run, and this was the problem.  Please add the dependency.

For me it did not complain until I added getalbumart in the ACTIONS entry of the conf file.

[Comment 4 Marek Szuba 2023-07-29 05:32:37 UTC]

I've just observed it myself. Indeed, media-libs/glyr is required in order to retrieve album art.
