sys-devel/autoconf wrong dependency?

Post #1 of 3 (56 views)

With the move of sys-devel/autoconf to dev-build/autoconf the ebuild
has some inconsistency, namely in the RDEPEND section, it is saying:

RDEPEND="
${BDEPEND}
>=dev-build/autoconf-wrapper-20231224
sys-devel/gnuconfig
!~sys-devel/${P}:2.5
"

This should probably be `!~dev-build/${P}:2.5`. It shows up in the
following as a problem:
emerge -auvDN --changed-deps=y --with-bdeps=y @world # --> merges autoconf-2.72-r1

Now:
emaint --fix all # --> fixes dependency from sys-devel/autoconf to dev-build/autoconf

and again a full system update:
emerge -auvDN --changed-deps=y --with-bdeps=y @world # --> merges autoconf-2.72-r1

This would want to again install autoconf, due to the changed-deps flag.

I am quite sure that this is not the intended behaviour, or is it?

Best
Andreas

Yeah, that's not intended. Reported as https://bugs.gentoo.org/923424.

No, it should be ${CATEGORY}/${P} when referring to the package itself.
That's what these variables are for.
