Hi,

I was quite surprised when I tried to emerge media-libs/tiff (3.8.2-r6)
today. I got the error messages

!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-devel/gcc-4.4.0 (Change USE: +objc)
(dependency required by "media-libs/tiff-3.8.2-r6" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "media-libs/tiff" [argument])

Indeed, I have emerged gcc-4.4.0 without objc but

gcc-config -l  shows
 [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.3.3 *
 [2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.0

and gcc -v shows Gentoo 4.3.3-r2 p1.1

So, why the requirement that the inactive gcc-4.4.0 should have
been emerged with objc?

(I'm using portage-2.2_rc33 and had only good experiences, so far)

Thanks for enlightening me,
Helmut.

Maybe because you also did not build gcc 4.3.3 with objc and then
portage goes on until it reaches the newest version. Since none of the
installed met the dependency, it takes the latest one to show you what
to do, assuming you use this as standard. Which is a good assumption
for most cases...

It's a mistake from the maintainer of the tiff ebuild.  For some reason 
he thought that an Objective C compiler is needed to build 
media-libs/tiff.  It's been masked now by the maintainer.  If you don't 
want to wait for mirrors to pick up the mask and do "emerge --sync" 
again, please mask this version until the mistake is fixed:

   echo "=media-libs/tiff-3.8.2-r6" >> /etc/portage/package.mask

See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=274092 for details and put 
your email address to the CC list so you'll be notified of changed to 
this problem.
