Bug 22301 – rsync mirror got fresh new ebuild (php,mod_php) but not ebuilds required by it (libxslt, cracklib)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Mirrors

[Description Mogens Meier Christensen 2003-06-05 15:56:43 UTC]

I just did an "emerge sync", then "emerge -U world" which failed because mod_php
4.1.2 needed unstable versions of libxslt and cracklib. 
After thinking a lot of angry things about the socaled "gentoo stable" I decided
to file this report. Just to be safe I did another emerge sync ONLY 20 MINUTES
after the preceeding emerge sync.
And - poof - "emerge -U world" worked flawlessly!

My conclusion: People with emerge trouble must hammer the rsync servers just to
be sure. But  that is not exactly what the Gentoo team want people to do -  if
i've understood anything,..?

Or have I just had a one-in-a-million experience?

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sync
2. emerge -u world
3.  goto 1. 

Actual Results:  
mindflay cracklib # emerge -pU world
>>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies -
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=dev-libs/libxslt-1.0.30" have been masked.
!!!    (dependency required by "dev-php/php-4.3.2" [ebuild])

!!! Problem with ebuild dev-php/php-4.3.2
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.

!!! Depgraph creation failed.




Expected Results:  
I expected what I got after just another sync:

mindflay cracklib # emerge -pU world
>>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild    U ] dev-php/php-4.3.2 [4.3.1] 


(I already installed mod_php by manually installing unstable its UNSTABLE
requirements)

Sorry,  my brain short circuited at the php version. The actual version number of php and mod_php is 4.3.2 .

[Comment 2 Tal Peer (RETIRED) 2003-07-14 09:30:59 UTC]

It is a one-in-a-million (though not from your side, but from the dev who commi ted the changes) - the deps got commited after the rsync mirrors were updated with the new {mod_}php ebuilds.  Closing.

Obsolete bug, closing.
