Bug 934009 – dev-libs/liblouis-3.29.0 stabilisation

• Status: IN_PROGRESS
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Guido Winkelmann 2024-06-10 16:54:33 UTC]

When updating my system, I get the following error message:

===========
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "<dev-libs/liblouis-3.29.0[python,python_targets_python3_12(-)]".
(dependency required by "app-accessibility/orca-45.2-r1::gentoo[braille,python_single_target_python3_12]" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "kde-plasma/plasma-meta-6.0.90-r1::gentoo[accessibility]" [installed])
(dependency required by "@selected" [set])
(dependency required by "@world" [argument])
===========

dev-libs/liblouis-3.25.0 is listed as not supporting Python 3.12 at all, even though Python 3.12 has been the automatic default for Gentoo for some weeks now. I see no obvious solution to the problem on my end, other than downgrading Plasma or making a local overlay package for liblouis.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -uvaDN --with-bdeps y @world
Actual Results:  
Emerge fails for being unable to satisfy the dependency on "<dev-libs/liblouis-3.29.0[python,python_targets_python3_12(-)]"

Expected Results:  
The system should be updated as usual.

I think we're better off stabling newer liblouis.

[Comment 2 Guido Winkelmann 2024-06-10 17:06:33 UTC]

The only newer version of liblouis in portage right now is 3.29.0, but app-accessibility/orca-45.2-r1 depends on a version lower than that.

[Comment 3 Andreas Sturmlechner 2024-06-10 17:14:57 UTC]

Not really, orca is just fine with >=dev-libs/liblouis-3.29.0.

[Comment 4 Andreas Sturmlechner 2024-06-11 14:40:02 UTC]

# emerge -vp app-accessibility/orca

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Let's turn this into a stable bug instead.

Has anyone found a solution to this? I have been trying to emerge kde-plasma/plasma-meta with the accessibility use flag and everytime it fails I've tried a solution to unmask it by adding USE_KEYWORDS="~amd64" but then I can't even emerge the package the only solution is to remove the accessibility use flag and emerge it without it.
