So the postgresql packages were unified. Okay, that's probably a good thing. No news item though, and Portage suggested I try an emerge of the new package. Couldn't do that without first removing the old ones...okay...done, with the "server" use flag added as I run a PostgreSQL server. Now I cannot upgrade dependencies with emerge -uDNva @world, as it insists on removing the "server" use flag. I get: The following USE changes are necessary to proceed: (see "package.use" in the portage(5) man page for more details) # required by virtual/postgresql-9.3 # required by net-dns/pdns-3.3.1 # required by @selected # required by @world (argument) =dev-db/postgresql-9.3.5-r2 -server Without "server", the dependent package won't even work, so it's quite ironic.
(In reply to Casey from comment #0) > # required by virtual/postgresql-9.3 > # required by net-dns/pdns-3.3.1 There is no such thing as virtual/postgresql-9.3 and neither does =net-dns/pdns-3.3.1 depend on it. > Without "server", the dependent package won't even work, so it's quite > ironic. Of course it will work. The server shouldn't need to reside on the same system so with USE=-server you would still get the library required to connect to wherever the server happens to run. Please post your `emerge --info net-dns/pdns' output in a comment.
Also: 28 Dec 2014; Aaron W. Swenson <titanofold@gentoo.org> pdns-3.3.1.ebuild, pdns-3.4.0.ebuild, pdns-3.4.0-r1.ebuild, pdns-3.4.1.ebuild: Rename virtual/postgresql to dev-db/postgresql Sync and try again?
In my case, the server does reside on the same system, pdns will be broken if the server isn't installed and running. I synced again, same results. # emerge --info pdns Portage 2.2.14 (python 3.4.1-final-0, default/linux/amd64/13.0/no-multilib, gcc-4.8.3, glibc-2.19-r1, 3.16.5-gentoo-osss-vm x86_64) ================================================================= System Settings ================================================================= System uname: Linux-3.16.5-gentoo-osss-vm-x86_64-QEMU_Virtual_CPU_version_0.9.1-with-gentoo-2.2 KiB Mem: 768940 total, 211068 free KiB Swap: 1048572 total, 1031976 free Timestamp of tree: Tue, 30 Dec 2014 00:15:01 +0000 ld GNU ld (Gentoo 2.24 p1.4) 2.24 app-shells/bash: 4.2_p53 dev-lang/perl: 5.18.2-r2 dev-lang/python: 3.3.5-r1, 3.4.1 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.12.2-r1 dev-util/pkgconfig: 0.28-r1 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.2 sys-apps/openrc: 0.12.4 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.6-r1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.69 sys-devel/automake: 1.13.4 sys-devel/binutils: 2.24-r3 sys-devel/gcc: 4.8.3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.7.3 sys-devel/libtool: 2.4.2-r1 sys-devel/make: 4.0-r1 sys-kernel/linux-headers: 3.16 (virtual/os-headers) sys-libs/glibc: 2.19-r1 Repositories: gentoo ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-stack-protector" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-stack-protector" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--quiet-build=y" FCFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs buildpkg config-protect-if-modified distlocks ebuild-locks fixlafiles merge-sync news nodoc parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict suidctl unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox usersync xattr" FFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.mirrors.easynews.com/linux/gentoo/" INSTALL_MASK="/var/cache/man /etc/crontab /etc/cron.d /etc/cron.hourly /etc/cron.daily /etc/cron.weekly /etc/cron.monthly /etc/logrotate.d" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_COMPRESS="" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --omit-dir-times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --human-readable --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 caps filecaps minimal ncurses openrc readline ssl syslog udev unicode vim-syntax xattr" ABI_X86="64" CURL_SSL="openssl" ELIBC="glibc" KERNEL="linux" LINGUAS="en" NGINX_MODULES_HTTP="autoindex auth_basic fastcgi gzip referer rewrite" PHP_TARGETS="php5-4" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_4" PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_4" USERLAND="GNU" USE_PYTHON="3.4" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, LC_ALL, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS ================================================================= Package Settings ================================================================= net-dns/pdns-3.3.1 was built with the following: USE="ldap postgres -botan -cryptopp -debug -doc -lua -mydns -mysql -odbc -opendbx -remote -remote-http -sqlite -static -test -tinydns -tools"

This is probably a case where portage dynamic-deps fails to work since the ebuilds have been removed from the portage tree. I would try unmerging virtual/postgresql, and re-installing anything that previously depended on it.
That did the trick, thank you!
