[gentoo-user] hplip upgrade wants qt in spite of USE flags

[gentoo-user] hplip upgrade wants qt in spite of USE flags

[Chris Bare]

I'm trying to run my normal upgrade on a gnome-only system. It looks like the
2.7 version of hplip wants qt even though I have the following in my make.conf
USE:

-kde -qt -qt3 -qt4

Here is the emerge tree output:

oberon tmp # emerge -puDtv hplip

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

if I add -X to USE, the qt dependency goes away, but I try to avoid package-specific
use flags if I can help it.

Any other suggestions, and would this be considered a bug that I should report?

Set USE="-X" for hplip.

I'd want to look into why hplip needs PyQt, and why that needs qscintilla. I 
can't help you much, as this is a KDE box with all sorts of things present 
that you won't have - sorry. I see though that hplip wants to emerge with 
(-qt3%), which is a pretty hard exclusion, but only on hplip - not 
necessarily on things it depends on.

If you mean putting package-specific USE flags in /etc/make.conf, you can 
avoid it thus:

If /etc/portage/package.use is a file, do this:
'echo "net-print/hplip -X" >> /etc/portage/package.use'

If instead it's a directory, do this:
'echo "net-print/hplip -X" >> /etc/portage/package.use/net-print'

On the other hand, if you don't like these flags at all, I can't help.
