[gentoo-user] Stuch on k3b at dep install of Transcode

[gentoo-user] Stuch on k3b at dep install of Transcode

[Harry Putnam]

I'm trying to install k3b.  One of its dependancies is transcode.  The
emerge stopped at transcode with specific errors, When checking
bugzilla I see this is a known problem.

I'm not sure how to proceed from here. For example: If I have emerge
install a version that doesn't appear in the bug reports (several
versions back) how would that effect the install of k3b.  Wouldn't it
still want to install the problem version?

Can I do something in /etc/portage/package.provided that will allow
the old build to stand?  I'm familiar with how it works on backages
that are a version or two ahead.  But somewhere, when I read up on
package.provided it said this would work as long as the package listed
there was a newer version.

I currently have:
cat /etc/portage/package.provided
  rsnapshot-1.2.2
  bacula-1.48.5

In both cases those are newer than anything in portage (even masked).

I'd rather not build transcode by hand because the emerge of k3b
showed a complicated string of deps and it seems like I could get in a
pretty good mess going outside of portage for some pieces of it.

Can someone outline a proceedure for a case like this?

I had a similar problem some months ago. I can't remember all the details, but i think it had to do something with avi. I changed the
useflags of transcode until the emerge of the latest version finished without any error. Try to unmask the latest version of transcode
and emerge it.

Good luck.

Thanks for you comments.  I'm running ~x86 so that was the most recent ebuild.

I am away from my portage tree right now, so I can't check this. AFAIK, k3b 
needs transcode only for recording a DVD to harddisk (in AVI format?). It 
then allows to write the result to another DVD.

If you don't intend to use that feature but use k3b only for burning and 
copying CDs and DVDs, you don't need transcode. So I guess there is a USE 
flag like "-transcode" or somesuch to build it without that feature. Just 
poke around in the USE flag definitions.

I remember having this problem way back when (I mean, several k3b
versions ago), but haven't had it in at least 3 upgrades:


motub -> emerge -pv transcode k3b
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] media-video/transcode-1.0.2-r2  USE="3dnow X a52 dv
dvdread extrafilters fame ffmpeg gtk imagemagick jpeg mjpeg mmx mp3 mpeg
network ogg quicktime sdl sse theora truetype v4l2 vorbis xml2 xvid -lzo
-sse2" 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] app-cdr/k3b-0.12.10  USE="alsa css dvdr encode ffmpeg
flac hal mp3 musepack musicbrainz sndfile vcd vorbis -arts -debug -kde
-xinerama" 0 kB

Istr that the issue was related to the "encode" USE flag, which I used
to disable, since I don't actually re-encode things in K3b anyway, but
as you see, I now have it enabled, and it works fine (meaning that both
K3b and transcode are properly installed, since I still don't re-encode
things with K3b).

What are the "specific errors" that you are receiving? Perhaps the
problem is your transcode USE flags; what are those?

Maybe that's why the version is masked (along with other reasons), so,
try to go back to the stable tree, if you have any problems with the
stable version, that's something to worry about, if not, welcome to
the bleeding edge and testing problems...

I got it solved and moved on so not sure how accurate this is.

Both times it broke for me... first emerging k3b it stalled on
transcode.  Attempting to do transcode by itself while messing with
USE flags It broke on just transcode both breakages involved:
   ffmpeg

However when I emerged that by itself (with no trick stuff regarding
USE flags, it emerged ok then transcode alone and finally k3b emerged
shortly after.  I took that to mean the order was not what it should
have been.

I doubt that would have helped.  Investigating bugzilla as my op
stated.  This problem has been around quite a while.  Over serveral
versions of transcode.  The bug report didn't say it had been fixed
yet either.
