I just figured out what one of my problems is on my main computer by
having the same problem on my computer at work and fixing it there, just
by being lucky to notice what I had just done to break it.
(This deals with KDE specifically, but this problem most likely applies to
_many_ spells)
I had just dispelled mysql, and then KDE wouldn't start, saying that
kdeinit couldn't start (the error in the console was something like,
"libmysqlclient.so.blah couldn't be found". Then I remembered that I had
built qt-x11 with mysql support. So I reinstalled mysql, and voila,
system works again.
Now, my query: Should we implement (or is it already, and we (grimoire
gurus) don't use it?) a feature so that when a spell is dispelled, dispel
checks for what depends on it (via 'gaze depends $SPELL', perhaps? Does
this report _all_ dependencies?) and (optionally?) recasts those spells?
In this case, my dispelling of mysql would have (at least) asked me to
recompile qt-x11 (along with 33 other spells) so that I could compile them
without linking to mysql.
Would this be too much work (for the sorcery team and/or grimoire gurus),
is it already implemented, or is it broken?
Ideas/comments?
