The mysql eclass declares that mysql depends on procps like so: userland_GNU? ( sys-process/procps ) The problem is that, on Darwin (Mac OS X), userland_GNU is set (because Portage pulls in the GNU utilities), but sys-process/procps is masked. This prevents mysql from being emerged. The procps suite was really designed for Linux anyway, so the dependency should read: kernel_linux? ( sys-process/procps ) instead. Or does procps understand BSD procfs? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to emerge dev-db/mysql. Any version will do; the dependency was declared in the mysql eclass. Actual Results: Portage will complain that mysql needs sys-process/procps, which is masked on Darwin (for good reason!). Expected Results: Portage should be able to emerge mysql, and mysql should not depend on procps on Darwin.

Yea, I saw this diff and noted that it might not work as intended. @mysql-bugs: Why did this change recently?

this is a very nasty issue @mysql-bugs, please allow us to revert, or explain us the intended logic
(In reply to comment #1) > @mysql-bugs: Why did this change recently? Err, what recently? That line was introduced in March 2006, it's NOT recent in the slightest. http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/eclass/mysql.eclass?r1=1.25&r2=1.26
@mysql-bugs: apologies, you have nothing to do with this. It is a Prefix-local problem. Sorry.
the latest sync done to the eclass was not done with eupdate, and accidentially removed important prefix changes, such as this userland_GNU/kernel_linux thing I redid the sync with eupdate now.
Yep, I can report it's fixed on my end.
grobian: what pending changes does prefix have for the MySQL eclass for me to merge back and avoid this problem next time?
robbat2: it is a huge diff, that probably needs some thorough review. I will open a new bug for it.
