• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Jason C. Leach 2003-04-04 02:52:31 UTC]

I just did a rsync to make sure I had the lates. I cd to the
Courier IMAP directory and atempt to build.  The build fails for all the ebuild files I have tried.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

1. cd to portage/net-mail/courier-imap
2. emerge courier-imap-1.7.0.ebuild
3. wait.



Expected Results:  
<ALL OUTPUT ABOVE THIS HAS BEEN OMITED>

This same error occures with several of the ebuild files.

Alastair, passing to you, coz it seems to be just a build problem, not necessarily a courier problem.  Bounce to raker if not the case.

what version of sys-libs/db do you have installed ?

[Comment 3 Jason C. Leach 2003-04-11 02:56:34 UTC]

As per your request.

daisy etc # emerge -P

 sys-libs/db
    selected: 1.85-r1 3.2.9-r1
   protected: 4.1.24
     omitted: none

is there a reason why you have db4 installed even though its masked? 

i believe that it is causing the problems you are having.

thanks for reporting this and letting us know. the deps need to be (and are now) tightened for this package.
