I tried to install mediawiki (and about 20 dependencies apache mysql ...) everithing went fine, but mediawiki stoped after the md5check with that error (I know what this error message tells me about how to post that error ;-) . . . >>> md5 src_uri ;-) mediawiki-1.5.1.tar.gz !!! ERROR: www-apps/mediawiki-1.5.1 failed. !!! Function has_php, Line 228, Exitcode 1 !!! Unable to find an installed dev-lang/php package !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. So I uninstalled mod_php which got installed by emerge mediawiki and installed dev-lang/php. After that emerge mediawiki worked Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce Steps to Reproduce: The problem is reproduceable until you install php manualy, after that even an emerge -e mediawiki installs dev-lang/php and not mod_php (btw blocking each other). Before that I made an emerge -e mediawiki. I thought it was my fault, because I added the thread use flag the day before. emerge stoped with the error above.

That's a feature. Either use stable mediawiki versions with mod_php or switch to dev-lang/php. The old dev-php/{mod_}php ebuilds will be removed from portage in a couple of months anyway.
Uh, so mediawiki requires dev-lang/php and doesn't have that as a dependency, and that's a feature? That doesn't sound right...
(In reply to comment #2) > Uh, so mediawiki requires dev-lang/php and doesn't have that as a dependency, > and that's a feature? That doesn't sound right... No, mediawiki >=1.5.0 does *not* support the old dev-php/{mod_}php ebuilds, it depends on dev-lang/php via inherit depend.php ;)
Ugh, OK, sorry for the confusion. I've misread the somewhat messy description... @trapni, please: - either replace need_php_httpd with need_php (won't be compatible with dev-php/{mod_}php ebuilds then, but will depend correctly on dev-lang/php) - or replace require_php_with_use and require_gd checks in pkg_setup() with built_with_use; the above two checks call has_php function from depend.php eclass, which checks for dev-lang/php, not dev-php/{mod_}php.

Um, hmm... well, Hi, but anyway, I did certainly *not* want to support legacy dev-php/{mod_,}php in 1.5.x line. Is this bad? (why?)
well, ya. check it out and/or update from cvs/rsync and feel free to blame me ;)
