DP not following dependency information correctly (was: apr-util doesn't install db4's dependencies?)

[ken@…]

I get the following error when I try to install apr-util, which looks like a failure to install tcl. It looks like tcl isn't one of db4's dependencies, judging from the output of 'port deps db4'. However, when I do 'sudo port install db4', tcl gets installed first. What might be happening here?

Error: The following dependencies failed to build: db4

tcl is one of db4's dependencies when installed on darwin6:

platform darwin 6 { depends_lib-append bin:tclsh8.4:tcl

configure.args-append --enable-tcl \ --with-tcl=${prefix}/lib }

I don't know why DP isn't installing it when db4 is being installed to satisfy the apr-util dependency.

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

I've replicated this problem on my darwin 6 machine.

Summary:

port install apr-util will attempt to installd db4, but the db4 install won't attempt to install tcl (which it needs). port install db4 will install tcl as required.

This isn't a problem with the apr-util portfile, but looks like it might be a problem with darwinports dependency system.

I don't know enough tcl (yet) to track this one down, but I'll take a look at it if no one else gets to it before me.

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

This isn't a bug with either the apr-util or db4 portfiles, it's a problem with darwinports' dependency engine.

[olegb@…]

yes, the deps code, heh!

Daniel, is this bug _still_ present ? If yes, would you keep an eye with it and close it when the deps code works?

Thanks,

Ole (haunted by deps bugs himself)
