Bugzilla – Bug 758
casting a spell does not cast dependencies
Last modified: 2003-02-04 14:15:12 UTC
When casting a spell, I am prompted to install dependencies and optional dependencies, however the dependencies are not summoned, nor are they cast.
Seems to be fixed in latest CVS.
I just tried to 'dispel nasm' and after that 'cast -r -c lilo'. Nasm was not installed again, so the compile failed :-( BTW, devel grimoire and devel sorcery.
not running devel sorcery atm, so i cant say for sure, but in 0.8.0.1, gnome-2-desktop- profile runs, and cast's NOTHING. It says the queue is empty (which is a pretty big hint as to the problem) Will try again with devel
Just pulled from cvs and did it again. BUSTED. try gnome-2-desktop-profile. It. does. not. work. Big bad bug. Please fix. Please?
*** Bug 796 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Created attachment 233 [details] Patch as applied to cvs. This patch fixes part of the dependencies problems. There appear to be other problems.
I've checked in some changes for some other bugs that I believe fix this bug as well. I'll wait for someone to verify that everthing works before resolving this as fixed.
I'm gonna try to do some testing on this later tonight. Btw, I really think that the resolution of this bug, as well as bug 765, calls for another 0.8.0.x release.
I've said no more 0.8.0.x releases. This is an unstable branch of sorcery, and it was made clear from the begining. Besides 0.8.1 is scheduled for sept. 10th I'm sure people can wait until then if they are unwilling to track devel.
I can live with that, but I still think it seems a little strange to (willingly) leave the version of sorcery we ARE, after all, marketing as "the one you choose if you want to be on the safe side" completely and utterly broken for well over a week. Then again, people can use the testing/stable grimoires and get sorcery 0.1.x (can't they?), so it would appear that I am on drugs. ;)
The patch does work, reintroducing both fixed and optional dependencies. wohoo! resolving should be ok. It hasn't made it into -devel.tar.bz2 yet though. How often is that pulled?
Looking at the ftp site, the files have a timestamp of midnight. Since the server's in North Carolina/USA, I think the tarball's pulled at GMT-5?
Based on various irc comments, it appears this bug is now fixed in cvs.
Bugzilla cleanup for sorcery...
