Bug 38768 – qmhandle-1.1.1 depends on stock qmail, so won't build with qmail-ldap

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Andrew Ross (RETIRED) 2004-01-19 19:02:11 UTC]

The ebuild for qmhandle-1.1.1 has qmail listed as an RDEPEND. This dependency is only satisfied by the stock qmail (net-mail/qmail), not qmail-mysql or qmail-ldap.

Of course, qmail-mysql and qmail-ldap block stock qmail so the merge of qmhandle can't proceed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge qmail-ldap or qmail-mysql
2. emerge -p qmhandle
3.

Actual Results:  
Output of emerge -p qmhandle is...

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B     ] net-mail/qmail-ldap ("virtual/mta" from pkg net-mail/qmail-1.03-
r13)
[ebuild  N    ] net-mail/qmail-1.03-r13
[ebuild  N    ] net-mail/qmhandle-1.1.1

Expected Results:  
Output of emerge -p qmhandle should really be...

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] net-mail/qmhandle-1.1.1

Is it really neccessary to post this info for a bug such as the one I'm 
reporting?

Would something like virtual/qmail be appropriate here?

I've noticed that some ebuilds in net-mail (ezmlm-0.53-r1 and queue-fix-1.4-r2) are listing all the different qmail flavours in their DEPEND/RDEPEND (or'ing them of course). Wouldn't this be hard to maintain?

Created attachment 24106 [details, diff]
Allows qmail-ldap or qmail-mysql to satisfy dependency

This can be used if virtual/qmail approach isn't appropriate.

i think the qmail-mysql and qmail-ldap should be punted personally :)

fixed in cvs.
