[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/libglib2: fix util-linux-libs dependency

[Yann E. MORIN]

Fabrice, All,

On 2020-11-01 13:15 +0100, Fabrice Fontaine spake thusly:
> Commit 2acaa86ce630f616b12aa92493e0269421c5bc97 replaced util-linux by
> util-linux-libs but this raises the following build failure:
> 
> Makefile:585: *** util-linux-libs is in the dependency chain of libglib2 that has added it to its _DEPENDENCIES variable without selecting it or depending on it from Config.in.  Stop.
> 
> To fix this build failure, use util-linux or util-linux-libs depending
> on BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_LIBS

OK, so this is exactly what I did not like in this util-linux vs
util-linus-libs split, and the fact that util-linux-libs is optional...

IMHO:

 1. util-linux-libs must be enabled as soon as util-linux is enabled,

 2. packages should build-depend on util-linux-libs, and never on
    util-linux, and should 'select BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_LIBS' if
    all they need is a library.

So, for now I'll apply this patch, because we do need a fix.

But ultimately, we wnat to sanitise this situation.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
