Postgresql was updated and broken out into pieces, this change is not reflected here. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: All that needs to be done is to change a line in the ebuild. It can be done for the r1 revision that there is a bug report on.
To be clear, it's dev-db/libdbi-drivers-0.8.3-r1
This package should depend upon dev-db/postgresql-base. 'libpq' from 8.0 or later -- and 8.0 is slated for removal soon -- is the only requirement and that is contained in dev-db/postgresql-base. Resolving this bug will resolve bug 288456 as well. (The virtual packages are gone, but that bug also mentions that the dependency should be on -base.)

You can close that this if you want in deference to bug 288456.

Created attachment 248891 [details, diff] A patch to fix the issue The attached patch changes the postgres dependency and differentiates between DEPEND and RDEPEND.
QA, The bug is open and unresolved (along with its predecessor, bug #288456) for quite a long amount of time. The fix is trivial, and the attached patch does it. Could you take action?
InCVS. 2 months is not a long time...
(In reply to comment #8) > 2 months is not a long time... Sorry, didn't know you're around. 2009-10-10 seems longer than 2 months (the previous bug on the same topic).
The previous one was reassigned to dev-zero since he made the postgres change. I half expect a new bug to be opened some day now, with some user complaining that it doesn't build||work on -base, and needs -server.
