[gentoo-dev] odd dependencies

[gentoo-dev] odd dependencies

[Andrew Gaffney]

In my digging for how Portage really works, I've come across yet another oddity. 
In 'emerge -ep xfree', I get:

[ebuild  N    ] sys-devel/bc-1.06-r5

but 'qpkg -q -nc -I bc' shows:

sys-libs/glibc-2.3.3_pre20040420
DEPENDED ON BY:
         elfutils-0.94-r1
         prelink-20040317
sys-devel/bc-1.06-r5             <---------
DEPENDED ON BY:                  <---------
         SYSTEM PROFILE           <---------
dev-libs/libcroco-0.5.1
DEPENDED ON BY:
         librsvg-2.6.4
dev-libs/libcdio-0.66
DEPENDED ON BY:
         vcdimager-0.7.20

If bc is only in the system profile and not depended on by anything else, why is 
it getting dragged in by xfree?

Because portage checks the system profile everytime, not just for
`emerge system`.

In the beginning, there was nothing. And God said, 'Let there be
Light.' And there was still nothing, but you could see a bit better.

Then why doesn't the *entire* system profile get included?

Something wrong with qpkg it seems... it probably doesn't check further if 
it's a system package.

bc < openssl < perl < xfree

Wasn't there supposed to be a Python/Perl rewrite of qpkg?

[gentoo-dev] python/perl rewrite of qpkg

Would that be equery (which is written in python, but not yet complete)?

Cheers

That would be the ongoing equery work, yes.
