#30950: gdbm @1.9.1 update - broken dependencies ----------------------------------------------------------------------+----- Reporter: ak.ml@… | Owner: snc@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.0.1 Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Port: gst, perl5.12, ruby, p5-xml-libxslt, perl5.10, perl5.14 | ----------------------------------------------------------------------+----- Comment(by vinc17@…): Replying to [comment:13 jmr@…]:
Declaring a dependency in p5-xml-libxslt would be redundant because perl depends on gdbm as shown above.
I disagree, because unlike most Perl modules, p5-xml-libxslt has a direct reference to libgdbm. If it doesn't have a dependency on gdbm, then it will not get the necessary revbump when needed (unless the gdbm maintainer remembers to revbump p5-xml-libxslt even though it doesn't have a dependency on gdbm). -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/30950#comment:18> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
