[gentoo-user] world update gone astray portage will not let me continue

[gentoo-user] world update gone astray portage will not let me continue

[John Covici]

Hi.  I am having major problems with my world update started a couple
of days ago.  There is a long history which I won't go into now, but
what I have immediately is that media-libs/harfbuzz will not install
and even though I have --keep-going, portage won't let me continue.

Here is the last part of the build log:

/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/harfbuzz-2.8.2-r1/work/harfbuzz-2.8.2/docs/../src/hb-unicode.cc:180:

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated on this one.  If you need

around virtual/libcrypt which I think I have now fixed.

Did you try using --skipfirst as suggested?

I will try, but I have never found that to work, but I will check.

As this is a problem with generating documentation, have you tried the
following as a workaround?:

    USE=-doc emerge -1a media-libs/harfbuzz

Gentoo bug 704550[1], makes me wonder if it's worth a try trying to
update gtk-doc before harfbuzz, or is it already updated?

It is recommended that you do not enable the doc USE flag globally, but
only for those packages where you need the extra documentation.

% grep \^doc /var/portage/profiles/use.desc
doc - Add extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc). It is recommended to enable per package instead of globally

If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

OK, I have  not specified doc, but apparently its in a use flag, so I
will try that and see if it does anything -- thanks.
Well, no joy, I think -doc was already selected because no * was after
it and I get the same error as before.

I don't have doc as a global use flag at all and that particular
package has -doc, but its still failing.

Well, I finally did manage to get harfbuzz installed which brings up
another question.  First, I tried to find the package for the
/usr/bin/gtkdoc packages and found none.  So, on a hunch, I emerged
dev-utils/gtk-doc and discovered I did not have the package in my
install.  So, I did it anyway and after that harfbuzz installed.  So,
the question is, should I put that in my world file -- which seems
wrong to me, or is there a missing dependency somewhere or what?

If I'm reading the ebuild correctly, currently having USE=-doc does not
disable building the documentation.  Setting USE=doc would probably have
worked as a workaround, because then emerge would pull gtk-doc as a
dependency.

I've mentioned this problem on IRC, but I haven't filled anything at
bugzilla.


I wonder if replacing

    $(meson_native_use_feature doc)

with

    $(meson_native_use_feature doc docs)

is enough? (I haven't tested it, though)
