These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies | emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy "virtual/mailx". !!! Problem with ebuild net-analyzer/nagios-1.2 !!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. !!! Depgraph creation failed. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the new virtual for mail apps virtual/mta now and not virtual/mailx ? When I changed the ebuild from mailx to mta, the depgraph completed fine. Cheers! mholzer@gentoo.org 2004-09-07 06:56:34 0000 no, it has to be mailx to send mails, no local mta is needed just upgrade your mailx mailer. ramereth@gentoo.org 2004-09-07 07:03:44 0000 Hrm, maybe that's the problem. This box has an mta (postfix) and it was complaining about this. Once I changed it to virtual/mta it fixed the problem. What would be causing this? mholzer@gentoo.org 2004-09-07 07:10:28 0000 a mta is not really required, but it's nice to have one only the "mail" command is need, which is providen by eg mailx you can test it with #echo "test" | mail root if the message gets delivered with a local procmail or with a mta on another machine is independend. ramereth@gentoo.org 2004-09-07 07:20:17 0000 Yeah, But what I'm saying is, shouldn't postfix satisfy the mailx virtual? Or how should it work? I just upgraded postfix on this box last week, maybe this isn't a bug with nagios-core, but one with postfix itself. The key issue here is that I have an mta installed on this machine (postfix) and its complaining that I have nothing to satisfy mailx. This gets bypassed by changing virtual/mailx to virtual/mta. I understand that it doesn't need an mta :) as ssmtp should work fine if configured correctly. squinky86@gentoo.org 2004-09-11 08:08:35 0000 net-mail herd please look at this: $ grep virtual/mailx * -r nail/nail-10.8.ebuild:PROVIDE="virtual/mailx" nail/nail-10.8.ebuild: !virtual/mailx" Why is mail-client/mailx not providing virtual/mailx? Something looks wrong here... g2boojum@gentoo.org 2004-09-13 08:34:58 0000 mail-client/mailx is, indeed, missing the mailx PROVIDE. It's an easy fix, but I'm away from my Gentoo machine atm. Can somebody in net-mail fix this? ticho@gentoo.org 2004-09-13 10:17:14 0000 Fixed in mailx-8.1.2.20021129-r4.ebuild, now in CVS. ticho@gentoo.org 2004-09-13 10:48:48 0000 We need to mark mailx-8.1.2.20021129-r4.ebuild stable on ppc, sparc, alpha, hppa and ppc64, so the original bug can go away on stable systems.
