Hi,
I was quite surprised when I tried to emerge media-libs/tiff (3.8.2-r6)
today. I got the error messages
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-devel/gcc-4.4.0 (Change USE: +objc)
[...]
So, why the requirement that the inactive gcc-4.4.0 should have
been emerged with objc?
It's a mistake from the maintainer of the tiff ebuild. For some reason
he thought that an Objective C compiler is needed to build
media-libs/tiff. It's been masked now by the maintainer. If you don't
want to wait for mirrors to pick up the mask and do "emerge --sync"
again, please mask this version until the mistake is fixed:
echo "=media-libs/tiff-3.8.2-r6" >> /etc/portage/package.mask
See http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=274092 for details and put
your email address to the CC list so you'll be notified of changed to
this problem.
