[gentoo-user] Updating dev-libs/glib pulls a lot of packages...

[Jarry]

Hi,
After just one week I am updating one of my servers but I am
rather terrified by all the stuff the new glib wants to install:

# emerge --pretend --update glib
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N    ] app-text/build-docbook-catalog-1.4
[ebuild  N    ] app-arch/unzip-6.0-r1  USE="bzip2 unicode"
[ebuild  N    ] app-text/sgml-common-0.6.3-r5
[ebuild  N    ] dev-libs/libgpg-error-1.7  USE="nls -common-lisp"
[ebuild  N    ] app-text/docbook-xsl-stylesheets-1.75.2
[ebuild  N    ] dev-libs/libgcrypt-1.4.5
[ebuild  N    ] dev-libs/libxslt-1.1.26  USE="crypt python -debug"
[ebuild  N    ] app-text/docbook-xml-dtd-4.3-r1
[ebuild  N    ] dev-util/gtk-doc-am-1.15
[ebuild     U ] dev-libs/glib-2.24.1-r1 [2.22.5]

Why are suddenly all those ebuilds needed with new glib?

You have enabled USE=doc"

unzip, libgpg-error and libgcrypt look like routine updates

I do not have this USE-flag enabled. And I am sure I did not
change USE for long time so I do not understand why suddenly
so many packages want to be installed...

> unzip, libgpg-error and libgcrypt look like routine updates

I do not think so. If they were just updates, they should be
marked as "[ebuild U]"...

Looks like it is enabled but you are not aware of it. From the ebuild:

DEPEND="${RDEPEND}
        >=dev-util/pkgconfig-0.16
        >=sys-devel/gettext-0.11
        >=dev-util/gtk-doc-am-1.11
        doc? (
                >=dev-libs/libxslt-1.0
                >=dev-util/gtk-doc-1.11
                ~app-text/docbook-xml-dtd-4.1.2 )"

unzip is probably being pulled in from sgml-common
the gpg stuff is coming from dev-libs/libxslt-1.1.26  USE="crypt python -
debug"

So it's all perfectly legit.

emerge with -t is your friend in such cases.

gtk-doc-am is now a hard dependency, and it depends on the other three.

Jarry, this is mentioned in both the ebuild comments and the ChangeLog,
the latter should be the first place you look for unexpected changes.
