[Solved] Issues installing yambar (wayland)

  • Quote

Post by CYPH4R » Thu Mar 13, 2025 10:47 am

So i finally setup my first "proper" gui/DE install, and im having an issue with installing yambar.

If im reading the output of "emerge yambar" correctly, it wants fcft version below 3.0.0, but only finds 3.1.9 installed, which is the most up to date ebuild.

Code: Select all

Dependency fcft found: NO. found 3.1.9 but need: '<3.0.0' ; matched : '>=2.4.0'
What is the approach to solving this issue?

What is the output of emerge --info ; emerge --pretend --verbose yambar media-libs/fcft? From what repository are you building yambar? I don't see it in my most recent sync of ::gentoo.

Hi thanks for taking the time to look at my issue!

I got yambar from the wayland-desktop repo (https://github.com/bsd-ac/wayland-desktop)

Heres the output of emerge --info:

They seem to have pushed a 3.1.10-rc1 since me posting here, mentioning a reverse dependency issue, so i updated fcft and tried to install yambar, still no success. :(

This is the error I get when trying to build yambar:

I see. Moved to Unsupported Software, since the failing package is not from ::gentoo.

Are you sure this output is --verbose as I requested? I do not see the full list of USE flags for fcft, nor do I see the repository indicators for the packages.

According to that output, yambar is not compatible with fcft-3 and above. As I read the ebuild in the linked GitHub repository, the ebuild for yambar only requires:

Code: Select all

RDEPEND="
	media-libs/fcft
Thus, Portage is conforming, by choosing the best version of fcft, with no version constraint from yambar. The short term fix for this is that the yambar ebuild needs to properly specify its dependencies, so that Portage is forced to pick a version of <fcft-3 [note-1]. The longer term fix is that the yambar upstream maintainers need to update their code to work with fcft-3. I cannot comment on how much trouble this may be for them. It might be as simple as removing the version constraint, or it might involve substantial source code changes, depending on what changed between fcft-2 and fcft-3.

[note-1]: ::gentoo no longer offers any fcft-2* series ebuilds, so the overlay will need to provide its own.

Whoops, dont know what happened there, i ran the command again and this is the output:

Code: Select all

➜  ~ emerge --pretend --verbose yambar media-libs/fcft

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Dependency resolution took 2.41 s (backtrack: 0/20).

[ebuild   R    ] media-libs/fcft-3.1.10-r1::gentoo  USE="harfbuzz libutf8proc -examples -test" 0 KiB
[ebuild  N    ~] gui-apps/yambar-1.7.0::wayland-desktop  USE="-modules" 0 KiB

Total: 2 packages (1 new, 1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 KiB
So at this point its on the ebuild maintainer to fix this?

The ebuild maintainer can provide a compatible fcft, and adjust the ebuild to instruct Portage to use it. Alternatively, upstream could provide a patch or a release that works with fcft-3. As I said above, I cannot comment on how much or little effort such a patch might be. It might be easy or it might require extensive changes to the yambar code. As a final alternative, if you know of a patch that gets this to work, you could use the /etc/portage/patches mechanism to locally apply that patch.

Try the ebuild from guru, up-to-date. Upstream provides compat with fcft-3 since 1.8.0.
Running well here.

EDIT: guru has a lot of packages up to date for wayland-DE.
