[gentoo-user] revdep-rebuild wants to rebuild always dev-java/swt-3.2-r2

[Marc Blumentritt]

Hi,

everytime I run revdep-rebuild, it wants to rebuild dev-java/swt-3.2-r2 
. When I do this, it emerges fine, but revdep-rebuild still complains.

It states, that
broken /usr/lib/libswt-awt-gtk-3232.so (requires  libjawt.so)

Looking for libjawt.so, I got this result:


equery belongs libjawt.so
[ Searching for file(s) libjawt.so in *... ]
dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5.0.10 (/opt/sun-jdk-1.5.0.10/jre/lib/i386/libjawt.so)

So I reemerged sun-jdk and afterward swt, but still revdep-rebuild 
complains.

Does anyone here have some hints, what could be wrong and where to look?

Thanks in advance
Marc

I have had the same problem for some time, but with libnio.so, like so:

<snip>
Checking dynamic linking consistency...
  broken /opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.13/jre/lib/i386/libnio.so (no version information 
available)
 done.
  (/root/.revdep-rebuild.3_rebuild)
<snip>
All prepared. Starting rebuild...
emerge --oneshot -pv =dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.2.13
<snip>

I've both sun-jdk 1.4 & 1.5 installed: was hoping it would just "go away", but 
it doesn't seem to want to!  No noticeable ill-effect yet, but like you would 
appreciate some advice as to what I should do ...

TIA

Similar problem with gcc too.  It has been around for a long time too. 
Makes you wonder huh?

This happens with all "binary-source" ;) packages, like java,
firefox-bin, openoffice-bin etc.
They have been made to work on quite all systems (despite existing
libraries).
Use CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK=/dir/path in /etc/make.conf to work around.
PS: check the ML-archives, forums etc for more info.

You mask out binary packages with SEARCH_DIRS_MASK=""
in /etc/revdep-rebuild/99revdep-rebuild. CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK has an
entirely different use.

You're right, my bad (was too lazy to search, so looked at the end of
latest emerged package - found CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK and sited it).
The OP needs SEARCH_DIRS_MASK="" of course.

For the record, worked for me, with:

SEARCH_DIRS_MASK="/opt/sun-jdk-1.4.2.13"

Thanks, Neil

Thanks for the answers, but to be honest, I still do not get, what the 
problem is and how to solve it. Could someone explain me, what goes 
wrong, if I use a binary package like sun-jdk?

Thanks

The "problem" is that revdep-rebuild checks the consistency of packages
built from source on your system. The messages about binary packages are
spurious, as what revdep-rebuild does does not apply to them. That's why
the config file has an option to stop it even checking such packages.

The problem is that you can't recompile sun-jdk.

Say you have package A which needs library B. You update library B to 
the next higher version, but neither library B nor it's ebuild is aware 
of other packages that use or may use it. Don't try and "fix" this - 
there be dragons...

revdep-rebuild might now detect that binary files in package A are still 
looking for old libs that have been replaced in the meantime. The 
solution is easy - recompile package A and the build process will find 
and link to the correct libraries that you now *do* have. But you can't 
do that with a third party binary app.

Remember that ebuild defines which *packages* they depend on, not the 
files in those packages. So it's quite possible that sun compiled 
something that would like to use lib-1.2.3.so and you have 
lib-1.2.5.so. It all still works nicely because the shared libraries 
system is designed to cope with this as an essential feature, but 
revdep-rebuild will complain.

You *could* get around the problem with a complex arrangment of 
symlinks, but then you'd have to maintain them. It's so much easier to 
just tell revdep-rebuild to ignore the binary package altogether, using 
Rumen and Neil's suggestions

So shouldn't /opt be in SEARCH_DIRS_MASK by default as that is where binary
packages are suppose to be installed?

Most binary packages now install a file into /etc/revdep-rebuild setting
SEARCH_DIRS_MASK for that package, rather than blindly masking out the
whole of /opt without knowing what a user may have installed in there.
This includes a java file on the two boxes I've checked (one running IBM
Java and the other with Sun and Blackdown JDKs installed.

If the OP's Java package hasn't installed such a file, a bug report would
be in order.

I think,the discussion went in the wrong direction. The problem is NOT, 
that sun-jdk depends upon some lib!

It is swt, that depends upon one lib of sun-jdk. As steated in my first 
post, I get this message from revdep-rebuild:

broken /usr/lib/libswt-awt-gtk-3232.so (requires  libjawt.so)

And then it wants to rebuild swt. Of course, I do not know, if swt is 
binary or source?

But if it is a source package, rebuilding should solve any dependency on 
binary libs, shouldn't it? An if it should, why does it not work on my 
system?

On the other hand, if it is a binary package, than I will post a bug 
report, like Neil suggested.

Or am I completly wrong and missed the point of Alan's explanation?

Marc
