dbus links with dbus-glib, fails to build when it has different archs

[soehn@…]

When trying to update my ports, dbus fails to build.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

It looks like you are trying to build it universal.

Yes. The active port is dbus 1.2.10_1+universal (I do not know why). So the upgrade tries to build it universal again.

Sorry. Active port is 1.4.10_1+universal, of course.

I tried

sudo port upgrade dbus -universal

and it worked. Thank you for the hint.

[psenough@…]

stumbled upon similar problem when doing sudo upgrade outdated

then tried to upgrade it individually, failed

tried to upgrade it forcing +universal

sudo port upgrade dbus +universal

tried the suggested -universal

sudo port upgrade dbus -universal

dont want to enforce -universal couz i believe i need +universal for some other dependencies.

did try to enforce +universal, had it compile a new version of perl15.12 and then gave the same dbus error.

main.log of +universal attempt:

I circumnavigated the problem by uninstalling dbus, then installing dbus-devel, and then running

port clean --all dbus port upgrade outdated

afterwards I was forced to force-activate dbus, but it seems to have fixed the problem

Good luck!

[andigros72@…]

sorry, it should read

port clean --all dbus

port upgrade outdated

[ecronin (Eric Cronin)]

dbus (incorrectly I would say) tries to link against dbus-glib when building (which depends on dbus, not the other way around). If you port -f deactivate dbus-glib before upgrading dbus it will build just fine +universal, and afterward you can then re-activate dbus-glib (or port install dbus-glib +universal as well, which probably would fix future architecture mismatch issues on upgrading dbus).

But dbus should not be linking against its dependents...

Installing dbus-devel and then having dbus be reactivated isn't a real solution. In fact, dbus-devel conflicts with dbus but dbus does not conflict with dbus-devel, so this would only "work" in the right order to begin with, and you needed to force activate it because obviously the two ports share some common filenames.

[pixilla (Bradley Giesbrecht)]

Sorry, this does not make sense to me.

I circumnavigated the problem by uninstalling dbus

So dbus is gone from the system.

then installing dbus-devel

Fine, dbus-devel works fine for me.

port clean --all dbus

Ok, at this point dbus is uninstalled and all of dbus has been clean.

port upgrade outdated

Ok, good.

afterwards I was forced to force-activate dbus, but it seems to have fixed the problem

Lost me here. The dbus port is not installed, so what exactly do you mean by "force-activate dbus"?

I will add that for the dbus-devel port the launchctl load command appears to need the -w (write change to plist) flag.

$ launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

I added --disable-tests to configure.args, which should solve this problem unless the +test variant is used. r81852

I'm leaving the ticket open because this is still an issue if building +test, and we should either fix that or remove the variant. I'm not sure it's fixable if the test cases are using dbus-glib, but I'm not familiar enough to say for sure.

See also #30409.

There seems to be no ideal fix to this problem.
I think the only thing to do short of removing the variant test is to issue a warning, as was done in r119921.
Unless someone has a better idea, marking as fixed.
