Description Premek Vohnout 2009-07-18 07:45:54 UTC

Summary tell's enough

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. unmask virtual/postgresql-base-8.3
2. emerge postgresl-base
3.

Actual Results:  
wohnout ~ # emerge -1va postgresql-base

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

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "=dev-db/libpq-8.3*".
(dependency required by "virtual/postgresql-base-8.3" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "postgresql-base" [argument])



Expected Results:  
emerge postgresql-base

Comment 1 Rafał Mużyło 2009-07-18 10:45:23 UTC

Have you tried 'emerge -1pv dev-db/postgresql-base' ?

Comment 2 Premek Vohnout 2009-07-18 13:13:06 UTC

This condition make no sense for 8.3

RDEPEND="|| ( =dev-db/libpq-${PV}* dev-db/postgresql-base:${SLOT} )"

True, as latest libpq is 8.2.7 that doesn't make sense.

You have to unmask postgresql-base, as well as eselect-postgresql. You need to add ALL 3 of these lines to your package.keywords file:

app-admin/eselect-postgresql
virtual/postgresql-base
dev-db/postgresql-base

libpq is unmaintained and on the way out. Keywords are a mess, but as soon as arch teams get postgresql-base stabled far enough libpq is masked. End of bug :)
