I'm trying to do an upgrade on my Gentoo desktop system. One of the pieces |
2 |
that's in need of upgrading is dbus, from v0.62-r2 to v1.0.2, and in fact the |
3 |
former blocks the latter so I can't upgrade anything else until I do the dbus |
4 |
upgrade. revdep-rebuild indicates that dozens of packages are broken by the |
5 |
dbus upgrade! |
6 |
|
7 |
The most important of these packages for my work is evolution, which is flakey |
8 |
at best and drives me crazy at times, but I depend on it so I'm careful to not |
9 |
do anything to disable it. So I upgraded dbus, and then tried to upgrade |
10 |
evolution, but the ebuild fails with the following: |
11 |
|
12 |
grep: /usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.la: No such file or directory |
13 |
/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.la: No such file or directory |
14 |
libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.la' is not a valid libtool archive |
15 |
make[3]: *** [libeconduit.la] Error 1 |
16 |
make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... |
17 |

18 |
/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.la: No such file or directory |
19 |
libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.la' is not a valid libtool archive |
20 |

21 |

22 |
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 |
23 |
make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/evolution-2.8.2.1/work/evolution-2.8.2.1/e-util' |
24 |
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 |
25 |
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/evolution-2.8.2.1/work/evolution-2.8.2.1' |
26 |
make: *** [all] Error 2 |
27 |
|
28 |
Indeed, the dbus upgrade nuked /usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.la. Shouldn't the |
29 |
configure script for evolution detect that this file is absent and compensate |
30 |
for its absence, or fail in configure so the ebuild never gets this far? |
31 |
|
32 |
I downversioned dbus to where it was before and things are working normally |
33 |
again, but I'm stuck until I can figure out how to re-emerge evolution if I |
34 |
upgrade dbus. Can anyone advise me? |
