My story: - installed www-apps/redmine-1.3.2 with dev-db/mysql-5.1.61 or something like that and ran it OK for many months. - when noticed that mysql-5.5 has arrived in Portage decided to try just that - upgraded mysql by running emerge -uDN1 --with-bdeps=y =dev-ruby/activerecord-2.3.14 (to keep Redmine from upgrading to newer version) - restarted mysql, ran 'mysql_upgrade', updated help tables - wondering why nobody cared to update Ruby modules decided to give it a try - directed browser to my Redmine page and saw Rails (or Passenger - not sure) error page noticing '/usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/mysql.so' - checked origin for it and found it to be 'mysql-ruby' - re-emerged it with 'emerge -1 mysql-ruby' - my Redmine starts OK
(In reply to comment #0) > - wondering why nobody cared to update Ruby modules decided to give it a try That is your responsibility using either portage's preserved-rebuild feature or revdep-rebuild(1) from gentoolkit. > - directed browser to my Redmine page and saw Rails (or Passenger - not > sure) error page noticing > '/usr/lib64/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/x86_64-linux/mysql.so' Hint for your next bug report: Be sure to note and provide full error messages.
