FTBFS: build-dependency not installable: libgmime-2.0-2-dev

Hi,

pan-0.133 doesn't compile with gmime-2.4.x but the dependency on gmime in pan's ebuild doesn't reflect this.

Cheers
Poly-C

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -1v \>=gmime-2.4
2. emerge pan or in case you upgraded from gmime-2.2, run revdep-rebuild

pan-0.133.ebuild.diff

possible fix

This is a reminder (mostly for myself) that I'm stupid and should have fixed apps deps before commiting a new slot.

I'll try to fix all of the followings tonight:

 dev-libs/gmime <- app-misc/beagle app-misc/tomboy:eds
                app-misc/tracker mail-client/balsa mail-client/mail-notification
                net-mail/dbmail net-nntp/pan

Gilles asked me to mask this version until he finds the time to fix pan's deps.

Done

erm... I reported this error with pan-0.133 because that is the version I am using on my ~amd64 machine. But other versions are affected as well. All pan-ebuilds I was looking at have the dependency on gmime. So masking pan-0.133 just makes the next lower version fail on the exact same error as well.

hum looks like I wasn't clear enough on the phone, I wanted gmime masked :)

anyway, mask & pan are now fixed, let's take care of other deps shall we.

to all now CC members, hi, there is a new slot of gmime in tree and I've been told by the upstream maintainer that there is probably no project using it yet so you probably want to replace your deps by

=dev-libs/gmime-2.2*

since there is no <2.2 in tree and there will be no 2.3 either (dev branch of 2.4). I'll go and fix these deps myself provided I have enough time but hope you can do it faster than me. Thanks for your attention.

Erf, there was a slight misunderstanding between me and Gilles and I masked pan instead of gmime... my apologies.

Sorry :)

mail-client/mail-notification fixed.

all deps fixed. Closing.

Patch to fix build

Description of problem:
The pan package fails to build due to enormous changes in the gmime API between gmime-2.2.x and gmime-2.4.x.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.133-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install gmime-2.4.3-2.
2. Rebuild pan-0.133-1

Actual results:
Build fails due to pkg-config error.

Expected results:
Build succeeds.

Additional info:
This bug depends on Bug #476243 being satisfied. The pan package will not build properly even if configure.in is modified to work with gmime-2.4.3. The best resolution is to use the gmime-2.2 library until such time that upstream has been rewritten to use the gmime-2.4 API. Bug #476243 provides for a new package, gmime22, which this will build against. Attached is a patch to pan.spec which will fix the BR to depend on this new package.

Upstream is working on a patch for Pan to support GMime 2.4: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=541676

build with old gmime

In the meantime in order to have a package I am using this gross violation to build together with a copy of the old gmime.

That is a 'no-go' as it isn't allowed by the Fedora Packaging Guidelines. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Packaging_Static_Libraries and http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Bundling_of_multiple_projects

Lack of a pan patch means that the rawhide package is causing broken deps in Fedora:

Broken deps for i386
----------------------------------------------------------
 1:pan-0.133-1.fc10.i386 requires libgmime-2.0.so.2

(from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/mash/rawhide-20090314/logs/depcheck )

We may have to block the package from the f11-beta, so it would be good if there was a working patch we could apply.

We introduced a gmime22 compatibility package:

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=94842

so this is fixed for F11-beta. However, since this gmime22 package is intended to only last one cycle, we should leave this bug open to encourage porting to the new gmime 2.4.x API.

Marking patches as obsolete.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

More information and reason for this action is here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

This is fixed in the first build of Fedora 12 rawhide, and from the comments, much earlier. Closing.

Shouldn't this stay open? Pan still doesn't support gmime 2.4 and the gmime22 package is only meant as a temporary solution
