I didn't have zope or zope-config installed.  zope needs zope-config because it
runs zope-config at the end of the ebuild.  But if you try to emerge
zope-config, it wants to emerge zope first, thus causing the execution of
/usr/sbin/zope-config to fail when emerging zope:

/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 144: /usr/sbin/zope-config: No such file or directory

The only way I can think of fixing this is to make zope-config NOT depend on
zope?

re-assign to net-zope@gentoo.org

this has always been working this way, what zope version did you try to
install?

Let me clarify what I did.  I did

emerge -vp zope-config

and portage wanted to merge zope first, and then zope-config.  I then did "emerge zope-config".  The zope install didn't work 100% because zope-config is missing.

I think this is what we need:

zope should have a DEPEND on zope-config
zope-config should have an RDEPEND on zope, but no DEPEND on zope

the stable one, 2.6.1

> zope should have a DEPEND on zope-config

this is the current situation

I think it is a portage bug since it handles DEPEND and RDEPEND the same way

how would you expect them to be handled ?

------- Comment #8 From Heinrich Wendel (RETIRED) 2003-12-22 08:37:01 0000 ------- 
zope-config should be emerged first since there is a DEPEND on it in zope, then
zope should be merged since there is a RDEPEND on it in zope-config

------- Comment #9 From Marius Mauch (RETIRED) 2003-12-22 09:01:36 0000 ------- 
can't you use PDEPEND in zope-config as a workaround ? DEPEND and RDEPEND 
have the same priority, the only difference is that DEPEND is ignored 
for .tbz2 packages. Not rejecting this request, but it could be problematic
to implement.

I think PDEPEND is exactly what we need here, fixed in zope-config.
