It appears that mod_php has forgotten that it is previously installed during an emerge -up world. In the below example, note that portage is going to install mod_php as if it were new, however mod_php is already installed.

My comment is mainly directed at Joshua, as his output is subletly different from yours, and I'm trying to solve it on a single test case first. I've added a little helper snippet into the mod_php ebuild so we can try and solve this. Wait a while, then update your tree.

Robin, the N vs. U problem is caused by determining the SLOT at runtime which can collide with the value from the pregenerated metadata cache. Removing /var/cache/edb/dep/dev-php/mod_php* should "fix" this issue, please talk to Nick for a real solution. Note: Removing the cache entries will cause a significant delay for the next portage operation involving mod_php.
Was just going to submit an addition to this when I decided to sync my portage again and found that mod_php was updated about 5 minutes ago. I no longer recieve: !!!

jason: that isn't the problem, that part is CORRECT. it's a change we have made so that it is possible to properly install PEAR packages. the problem was that it was showing that it was going to re-install mod_php sometimes instead of upgrading it. based on your output there, that problem is fixed: [ebuild U ] dev-php/mod_php-4.3.4-r2 [4.3.3-r3]

yeah, it's dynamic slots and the pregenerated metadata not being the same as what it should be for you... This is how to fix it: # rm -rf /var/cache/edb/dep/dev-php/mod_php* /usr/portage/metadata/cache/dev-php/mod_php* # regenworld just running the emerge directly should have the correct behavior anyway, despite the output on pretend. try it after emerge sync, with USE="debug" and it should display what slot it is actually installing into.
I ran the regenworld and it fixed the problem. However, after an emerge sync the problem came right back exactly the same. However, running regenworld again fixes it, so I guess I'll stick with that and hope it fixes itself down the line unless there are any other fixes you can think of. Thanks for your help, Josh.
josh: can you please confirm that it is just the emerge -p output that is wrong, and it does actually install in the correct slot as I noted in my previous comment?

Just cleaning up the old bugs. If you're still having problems with mod_php-4.3.4-r4, please reply to this bug. Otherwise I'll close this shortly. Best regards, Stu
The SLOT problem still remains.
Explain to me the SLOT problem again. Trying to untangle the different problems in this bug is making my brain hurt. Best regards, Stu
> This is how to fix it: > # rm -rf /var/cache/edb/dep/dev-php/mod_php* /usr/portage/metadata/cache/dev-php/mod_php* > # regenworld That works for me until the next 'emerge sync'. After that it shows mod_php again as new. I'm trying to upgrade from 4.3.4-r4 to 4.3.5.
I've changed the summary, to better explain it for everybody. 'emerge -p mod_php' shows one thing that will happen, but what it shows is NOT correct due to the use of dynamic slots in the mod_php ebuilds to support parallel installs for apache1+ apache2. however the main emerge mod_php DOES behave correctly and upgrade.
I just ran into this as well when playing with adding my own functionality to portage. Dynamic SLOTs do not work when calculating dependencies and which version to install, however when the ebuild is ran to install it they work fine. The issue is because of the metadata and dependency cache. I tried to hack the ebuild to see if there was a way to get it working for both apache 1 and apache 2 without using the SLOT and I don't see any way that it can. To me it seems the only possible solution to get this to just work without having users have to delete the cache and then regenerate the cache every time is to change portage: Add a new ebuild flag that when set would disable the metadata cache being created for that ebuild. Then the SLOT information should be correct as it would be calculated every time dependencies are calculated. I believe I am familiar enough with portage that I can work on a patch that would implement this.
Is this bug being worked on? I still have this problem myself and it's been quite a while, and seems to have caught a lot of people.

Any answer to comment #37? I still see this issue today.
it's mainly a cosmetic portage bug that won't be fixed very soon i think.
Any progress on this, or whats the status? If its not going to be updated soon, I'd suggest adding some einfo in the mod_php ebuild stating this issue is known or something. Just curious!
Closing, dev-php/php and dev-php/mod_php have been superseded by dev-lang/php.
