Zabbix requires one database package. Curiously, the oracle choice is just absent in the depend section of the ebuild, namely the COMMON_DEPEND section where the others are listed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select USE=oracle, de-select other database types. 2. emerge package 3.

Hi Ian, I'll have to look at this .... I've recently taken over maintainership of zabbix ebuilds and zabbix indeed does support oracle databases, but I'm unclear on how well gentoo itself supports oracle or what packages should be depended on for oracle...will review. The entire code for how the zabbix ebuild handle databases probably needs review. MattM

OK...upon further review, I see why the current ebuild is the way it is -- there are two ways to support oracle in gentoo - a) just install the proprietary oracle packages for a local server (no gentoo ebuilds? can't see any in main gentoo tree). If someone installs oracle outside of portage, they'll have to manually set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable. b) connect to a remote oracle server and install the oracle instantclient ebuilds from the portage tree. Note that these ebuilds may set the ORACLE_HOME variable for the general oracle libraries/etc.. I'm not sure what the standard gentoo way for handling the above so both situations work.... or even if we have zabbix gentoo users actually using oracle. It sounds like the previous ebuild maintainer just left the situation for the user to handle, perhaps assuming situation #a would be the most common.
For the moment, since #b is solvable within existing portage ebuilds, I'll handle it just be adding dependency on oracle instantlclient --- will commit an r1 for 1.8.7 shortly.
good work mattm
Fixed in tree - assuming that oracle-instantclient-basic is doing the right thing, but if it isn't that would be a different bug. <CIA-88> mattm * gentoo-x86/net-analyzer/zabbix/ (ChangeLog zabbix-1.8.7-r1.ebuild zabbix-1.8.8-r1.ebuild): <CIA-88> Fix oracle use flag dependencies for Zabbix 1.8.7 and 1.8.8 per Bug #386457 <CIA-88> (Portage version: 2.1.10.22/cvs/Linux x86_64) <willikins> CIA-88: https://bugs.gentoo.org/386457 "net-analyzer/zabbix-1.8.7 fails with use oracle"; Gentoo Linux, Applications; CONF; johneed:mattm
