Bug 32846 – php-ext eclass pulls in sys-devel/m4 which is not nessicarily available or always correct even

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Harm Geerts 2003-11-05 21:40:09 UTC]

Since sys-devel/m4-1.4-r1 came in portage every emerge -uDvp world it would 
down/upgrade between version 1.4 and 1.4-r1. However the only ebuild that 
depends on sys-devel/m4 (according to qpkg) is autoconf and that doesn't have 
a strict dependency on 1.4 
 
To get rid of this version switching I masked sys-devel/m4-1.4 and ran emerge 
-uDvp world again. 
 
root@manuel files # emerge -uDvp world 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order: 
Calculating world dependencies - 
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "=sys-devel/m4-1.4" have been masked. 
!!!    (dependency required by "dev-php/php-accelerator-1.3.3" [ebuild]) 
!!! Problem with ebuild dev-php/php-accelerator-1.3.3 
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. 
!!! Depgraph creation failed. 
 
But the dev-php/php-accelerator ebuild doesn't have a dependency on sys-devel/
m4-1.4 
Now what am I missing and why does php-accelerator depend on sys-devel/m4-1.4? 
 
If I remove the ebuild everything works fine with sys-devel/m4-1.4 masked.

it's the php-ext eclasses ... all of them do for some reason ...
