Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1464487
Use gtkspell3 for BuildRequires instead of orphaned gtkspell
Last modified: 2017-06-28 06:29:41 EDT
Trigger for this request: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/message/JVLNDQVT37W3GGQ5IADLHVZNYOLZ524Q/ (look for gtkspell and you'll find that inkscape is affected) Indeed, gtkspell is orphaned now: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/gtkspell/ So encouraged by inkscape build system sources, I tried simply: diff --git a/inkscape.spec b/inkscape.spec index 5d35c7d..b0d5aa7 100644 --- a/inkscape.spec +++ b/inkscape.spec @@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ BuildRequires: gc-devel >= 6.4 BuildRequires: gettext BuildRequires: gsl-devel BuildRequires: gtkmm30-devel -BuildRequires: gtkspell-devel +BuildRequires: gtkspell3-devel BuildRequires: ImageMagick-c++-devel BuildRequires: intltool BuildRequires: lcms2-devel And it worked well as far as building and grabing automatic so-based Requires. Then I tried to check the function of the spell checker from within inkscape built like that: 1. select "Create and edit text objects (F8)" 2. enter some random text 3. go to main menu > Text > Check spelling 4. observe new embedded dialog just with one button active -- "Stop" 5. if you click on that button, you'll get a segfault But after reinstalling inkscape with original Fedora version using gtkspell, I got the same behavior, so I don't really think this would be a regression -- it's rather a pre-existing bug that should not block getting rid of dependency on now-orphaned package.
Note when I run inkscape from terminal, I can observe > ** (inkscape:20386): WARNING **: Error: No word lists can be found for the language "en_US". prior to the crash. Also regarding the BuildRequires change accepted by the build system: > -- Checking for module 'gtkspell3-3.0' > -- Found gtkspell3-3.0, version 3.0.9 > [...] > ------------------------------ > Building Makefile for Inkscape > ------------------------------ > [...] > Using GtkSpell 3 So it seems accepted just fine.
Committed, but the build failed due to rawhide breakage. I'll try again in a day or so.
