MySQL has sys-libs/libaio listed in DEPEND but not in RDEPEND. When installing from source, there is no difference. But when installing dev-db/mysql from binary packages (we have several servers with equal hardware), only RDEPEND is used and libaio is not seen as a dependancy. mysql-server does not start without libaio installed. Maybe the (kind of useless) line 'RDEPEND="${RDEPEND}"' should read 'RDEPEND="${DEPEND}"' instead. # emerge -pv mysql These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Created attachment 333650 [details, diff] mysql-v2 eclass patch The problem occurs in eclass/mysql-v2.eclass. New dependancies were added below the RDEPEND line which should be above it. The attached patch should fix the issue. Also posted in my personal overlay https://github.com/grknight/gentoo-mysql
