[gentoo-user] emerge wireshark fails

[gentoo-user] emerge wireshark fails

[Alan McKinnon]

Hi,

wireshark won't compile, saying that perl is built with the 
minimal use flag. Only, it isn't.

******** The wireshark failure:

!!! ERROR: net-analyzer/wireshark-0.99.3 failed.
Call stack:
  ebuild.sh, line 1562:   Called dyn_setup
  ebuild.sh, line 665:   Called pkg_setup
  wireshark-0.99.3.ebuild, line 44:   Called 
built_with_use 'dev-lang/perl' 'minimal'
  eutils.eclass, line 1605:   Called die

!!! dev-lang/perl-5.8.8-r2 does not actually support the minimal 
USE flag!
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the 
call stack if relevant.

********** perl USE flags:

gentoo ~ # emerge -pv perl

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

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] dev-lang/perl-5.8.8-r2  USE="berkdb doc 
gdbm -build -debug -ithreads -perlsuid" 0 kB

********* line in the wireshark ebuild that fails is this one:

pkg_setup() {
        # bug 119208
        if built_with_use dev-lang/perl minimal ; then

Anyone seen this before? Am I being stupid (again) or is it a 
bug? And if so, where might the bug be - perl, wireshark, or 
the portage scripts?

It's a bug in the wireshark ebuild. It hasn't been noticed until now because 
it was silently ignored until yesterday. For details look at [1]. This has 
been reported in [2]. Please use bugzilla to search before asking these 
questions...

Except that this behaviour I see is neither of the cases you 
mention. They relate to the bahaviour when the minimal flag is 
set. I'm getting the error when the flag is NOT set. There is 
no reason why this line should return true on my system:

if built_with_use dev-lang/perl minimal

In case I still had an ancient faulty perl binary hanging 
around, I also remerged perl and tried to emerge wireshark 
again. Same error. So this is not the same bug as any of the 4 
on the wiki.

Please read more carefully. Whether it is set or not is irrelevant. The 
problem is that your version doesn't have minimal use flag at all yet the 
wireshark tests whether it's set...

Might be the same cause, but the symptom is orthogonally 
opposite :-)

I filed a new bug, now the devs can compare them and see what's 
to be fixed.

OK, now this is starting to make more sense. The ebuild does 
this test:

wireshark-0.99.3.ebuild:44 - 
if built_with_use dev-lang/perl minimal ; then

and built_with_use fails because of this

eutils.eclass:1604 - 
local IUSE_BUILT=$(<${IUSEFILE})
has $1 ${IUSE_BUILT} || die "$PKG does not actually support the 
$1 USE flag!"


If this were C++ I'd be throwing an exception about now.
