When emerging with multiple database USE flags selected globally, the package's dependency requirement isn't rejected at dependency-calculation time, and the build proceeds until portage attempts to build the package itself. At this point, it calls die: * * You can't use more than one database type in Zabbix. * Select exactly one database type out of these: mysql oracle postgres sqlite * * ERROR: net-analyzer/zabbix-2.0.12::gentoo failed (setup phase): * Multiple database types selected. * * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 93: Called pkg_setup * zabbix-2.0.12.ebuild, line 88: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die "Multiple database types selected." Rather than calling die to alert the user to a dependency issue, portage should be made aware that the database USE flags are mutually exclusive, so as to avoid potentially building unnecessary dependencies. (And generally wasting time on a failed build.)
it looks fixed in latest versions
