[gentoo-user] portage bug?

[Daniel Iliev]

Hi,


Would anybody, please, confirm the following behavior before I file a
report with B.G.O?


 % emerge -C dev-perl/yaml

 % emerge --depclean -p

[-snip-]

Calculating dependencies... done!
 * Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to
 * the following required packages not being installed:
 *
 *   dev-perl/yaml pulled in by:
 *     perl-core/Module-Build-0.28.08
 *
 * Have you forgotten to run `emerge --update --newuse --deep world`
   prior
 * to depclean? It may be necessary to manually uninstall packages that
   no longer
 * exist in the portage tree since it may not be possible to satisfy
   their
 * dependencies.  Also, be aware of the --with-bdeps option that is
   documented
 * in `man emerge`.




 % emerge --update --newuse --deep world
Calculating dependencies... done!
>>> Auto-cleaning packages...

>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.

What is the problem with this behavior. You unmerge yaml but it is
needed by Module-Build. What do you expect --depclean to do? If you run
"emerge --update --newuse --deep world" yaml would be pulled in again as
it is needed by Module-Build. --depclean only removes packages that have
now reverse dependencies which is not the case here.

From what I see, update newuse deep world is NOT pulling it back in.  That's
the bug.

Okay i should read more carefully. Tried the --with-bdeps option?

Try to add --with-bdeps=y and I think you'll find the expected
behavior.

Yes, that's it. Strange, I was under the impression that bdeps was "yes"
by default.

Thanks, guys, and sorry for the noise.

It is if you add it to make.conf.  I added the line to mine a long time
ago.  Something like this:

# EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS allows emerge to act as if certain options are
#     specified on every run. Useful options include --ask, --verbose,
#     --usepkg and many others. Options that are not useful, such as --help,
#     are not filtered.
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--with-bdeps y"

Hope that saves you some typing.

Only when using --depclean.

It's not a bug, it's counterintuitive expected behavior. The pointer to
the answer is buried in the error message: "Also, be aware of the
--with-bdeps option that is  documented in `man emerge`"

In summary, dev-perl/yaml is a build dependency of Module-Build, and
therefore not strictly required. By default, to be safe, depclean
expects it to be there. Since Module-Build is already installed,
however, by default emerge won't pull it in, because it shouldn't be
necessary. Hence, the behavior you observe.

You can file a bug if you wish, but make sure to do a full search, as
there are misunderstandings of depclean all over b.g.o.

My mistake, not a bug. I'm glad I asked here before wasting devs'
time with invalid reports. Thanks, guys! :)
