[gentoo-user] GTK+ circular dependency

[gentoo-user] GTK+ circular dependency

[Daniel Quinn]

Have any of you seen this before?  This is on a fresh install.  I can't
get anything GNOME-based to install as it looks like gnome-keyring is
bringing in an older version of gtk+ which somehow depends on
gtk-engines-adwaita which in turn depends on gtk+.

Details:
* ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64"
* Profile: gnome/systemd
* No additional USE flags.



# emerge -auDN --keep-going --with-bdeps=y @world

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

Calculating dependencies... done!

Have you tried to increase the backtrack value? 

Since the update process is dead slow anyway and I really don't care about a few minutes less ore more, I always use --backtrack=999.

Unfortunately yes.  I took your advice just now and it's still
complaining about circular dependencies.  Maybe I'm missing something,
but how can gtk+ *depend* on gtk-engines-adwaita?

Because the ebuild says so. The question you should be asking is "why",
especially as none of the other gtk+ ebuilds contain this DEPEND. And
that's a question that is probably best asked on b.g.o.

Okay, who put a "stop payment" on my reality check?

Sorry, but what's "b.g.o."?  Are you saying that this might be a bug?

bugs.gentoo.org

A circular dependency that cannot be avoided with USE flags, and this is
not conditional dependency, sounds like it might be a bug to me.

If you look in the ebuilds:

• gtk+-2.24.31-r1 depends upon x11-themes/gtk-engines-adwaita, [1] and
• gtk-engines-adwaita-3.20.2 depends upon >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.24.15 [2]

If you look at the packages page for x11-libs/gtk+ [3], you'll see there are some earlier versions of it in the tree that fulfils gtk-engines-adwaita's requirement, x11-libs/gtk+-2.24.28-r1 for example.

x11-libs/gtk+-2.24.28-r1 does not seem to require gtk-engines-adwaita. [4]

So you should be able to `emerge -1 =x11-libs/gtk+-2.24.28-r1` and then `emerge -1 gtk-engines-adwaita` should pull in the 3.20.2 version of it.

You can then, for good measure, update gtk+ to version 2.24.31-r1 (`emerge -1 =x11-libs/gtk+-2.24.31-r1`), I think.

Stroller.

This is bug 597068[1].  The issue appears to have been caused by a
misunderstanding of when the package manager can and cannot solve
circular dependencies, and the fix is likely to be to move
gtk-engines-adwaita from RDEPEND to PDEPEND in gtk+:2, as
gtk-engines-adwaita has a build-time DEPEND on gtk+:2 (not just a
runtime RDEPEND).
