Hi,

my squidgurd crashes with the following message:

2014-11-10 18:19:53 [4412] INFO: New setting: logdir: /media/daten/system/software/squidGurad/logs/

2014-11-10 18:19:53 [4412] ERROR: Going into emergency mode

I searched the Web and found the following Bug report:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=185737

as it seems the ebuild is missing a view patches, which would fix the problem.

I emerged the package and canceled it at installing process to view the sources.
And it seems that even more patches as the mentioned are missing because 
the higest DB_VERSION_MAJOR == 4 in the current ebuild version the patch 
includes a tree with DB_VERSION_MAJOR == 6

I'am sorry that i can't provide more informaion but may be the maintainer of 
the ebuild could have a look over this situation.

My installed package is:
*  net-proxy/squidguard
      Latest version available: 1.5_beta
      Latest version installed: 1.5_beta
      Size of files: 1.937 KiB
      Homepage:      http://www.squidguard.org
      Description:   Combined filter, redirector and access controller plugin for Squid

Best regards

It seems to be enough to change this:

File: src/sgDb.c
Line: 115
From: #if DB_VERSION_MAJOR == 4
To:   #if DB_VERSION_MAJOR >= 4

This worked for me

Said to see, that this working patch couldn't find its way to the Gentoo Repo :-( Today I had to patch the version again on my own :-(

[Comment 3 Pacho Ramos 2015-11-05 20:19:41 UTC]

This is because this package has no maintainer currently at all :/

Are you willing to proxy maintain it?

still not patched ....

[Comment 5 Christophe PEREZ 2017-01-25 20:15:28 UTC]

A very big problem !
I spent 3 hours to find why squidguard stopped working after emerge --depclean removing sys-libs/db-4.8.30-r2

Applying patch :

+#if DB_VERSION_MAJOR >= 4
   if(globalUpdate || createdb || (dbfile != NULL && stat(dbfile,&st))){
     flag = DB_CREATE;
     if(createdb)

worked for me too.

Please, patch it !
