See also: bug 52165. This bug probably occurs for platforms other than powerpc. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type emerge --update --deep world Actual Results: !!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "=virtual/jdk-1.4*" have been masked. !!! possible candidates are: - dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2_rc1 (masked by: -* keyword) - dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1 (masked by: -keyword) !!! (dependency required by "dev-php/mod_php-4.3.4-r4" [ebuild]) !!! Problem with ebuild dev-php/mod_php-4.3.4-r4 !!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. Expected Results: modphp probably shouldn't depend on =virtual/jdk-1.4* on powerpc (and possibly others)
Did you try with USE="-java"?
Ryan, please update your profile (ln -sf /usr/portage/packages/default-ppc-2004.1 /etc/make.profile). and try again. Blackdown doesn't provide a 1.4 jdk. You need the ibm-jdk-bin one. Greetings, SeJo
When I had updated my profile I went with default-ppc-2004.2 thinking that 2 is probably better than 1. Could this be the problem? (either way, I didn't really want php installed, I just filed the bug because I thought it was a problem that other people might be experiencing)
Do you have blackdown java installed? What is listed in your /var/cache/edb/virtuals file for virtual/{jdk,jre} ? Because if you have a 2004.2 system, and those files are ok, you shouldn't have the problem. greetings
This is exactly the problem. I had previously manually installed blackdown jdk/jre 1.3
then you will heva references to blackdown... the issue lies there. if it's ok with you i'm closing this bug. greetings
I've removed blackdown and replaced it with IBM (although the JRE is 404 on the mirrors...) Thanks for your help.
