User-Agent: Build Identifier: After creating binary packages for mod_php and all its dependencies, I tried emerging it on another host: ~# emerge -B mod_php This installed mod_php, but not its dependencies. Strange as it may sound, ~# emerge -pu world didn't show that the dependencies were needed. I had to emerge -B every single dependencie, which makes it also enter all those dependencies in /var/cache/edb/world which I don't want (so I had to remove those manually). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. On host 1: "emerge -B mod_php libjpeg libxml2 freetype ..." (all dependencies) 2. Copy over to host 2 3. On host 2: "emerge -K mod_php -p" (wont show dependencies) Actual Results: mod_php got installed, but dependencies didn't, so mod_php didn't work... Expected Results: emerge also the dependencies GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/share/config /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" USE="x86 oss 3dnow apm arts avi crypt cups encode gif gpm gtk imlib jpeg libg++ mikmod mmx motif mpeg ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl pdflib png qtmt quicktime sdl spell svga truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib gdbm berkdb slang readline tcpd libwww perl python -X -gnome -gtk -kde -qt ssl pam php mysql -java apache2" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon -O3 -pipe" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox ccache"
Not a bug. It will never create it's dependancies. You cannot have portage merge that way. Dependancies are called such because they must be merged to build.
