Bug 11974 – comping perl-5.8.0-r2 breaks in db_file

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Olivier Crete (RETIRED) 2002-12-11 11:46:34 UTC]

I tried emerging perl 5.8 (unmasked) and it breaks with the following message,
the stand-alone version of db_file (dev-perl/DB_File) is not installed.. I also
have three versions of sys-libs/db installed in parallel.

sys-libs/db-4.1.24 *
sys-libs/db-1.85-r1 *
sys-libs/db-3.2.9-r1 *

Try to unmerge db-4.1.24, i've just installed perl-5.8 (5.8.0-r3) using only:

sys-libs/db-1.85-r1
sys-libs/db-3.2.9-r1

good luck

I re-emerge db3 over db4 and compiled.. so db3 and db4 as not really separate
(they use the same db.h I think).. And perl 5.8 should be marked as not
compatible with db-4

[Comment 3 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) 2002-12-11 18:11:11 UTC]

...and perl 5.8 is back in mask. will check the db-4 issues,

Olivier,

Another dev has experienced the same problems with db-4.1.24, but db-4.0.14 was 
fine with --enable-futexes removed. I will look into this further and post any 
more insights as I find them. Thanks,

Mike

I saw the same problem with perl-5.6.1-r9 and db-3.2.9-r1, but after re-emerging the 
same version of db it worked... 

[Comment 6 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) 2002-12-17 11:30:14 UTC]

db-4 has been yanked, even for testing. There are issues with the current build 
of db-4 that break many apps. I'm afraid I can't help you with this until db-4 
has been fixed.

[Comment 7 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) 2002-12-18 19:27:44 UTC]

Is this break only with db-4 right now (completely yanked and unsupported)?

[Comment 8 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) 2003-01-06 17:20:21 UTC]

until db-4 is fixed and unmasked, this can't be resolved.
