[gentoo-user] Stuch on k3b at dep install of Transcode
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? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Stuch on k3b at dep install of Transcode
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. /Uwe Harry Putnam wrote: 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 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!

What are the specific errors that you are receiving? Perhaps the problem is your transcode USE flags; what are those? Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
