Packages depending on dev-db/mysql rather than on virtual/mysql make problems when mariadb is installed instead of mysql. This is the case with sci-geosciences/grass and thus the ebuild should be fixed Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unmerge dev-db/mysql 2. Emerge dev-db/mariadb and virtual/mysql 3. Emerge sci-geosciences/grass with USE="mysql" Actual Results: Portage problem: (dev-db/mysql-5.1.53::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by dev-db/mysql required by (sci-geosciences/grass-6.4.0::gentoo, installed) (dev-db/mariadb-5.1.50::gentoo, installed) pulled in by =dev-db/mariadb-5.1*[embedded,-static] required by (virtual/mysql-5.1::gentoo, installed) Expected Results: No portage problem
Done.
