The package 'courier-imap' seems to be a subset of package 'courier', and installing both breaks the Courier system. Each package should block the other, so that it is obvious that both shouldn't be installed at the same time. Or change the description of the courier package to say that it includes the imap server and all other Courier packages (obvious with hindsight, but I wasn't sure, and expected the packages to be set up to stop me installing both if I wasn't supposed to). After installing both (thinking 'courier' was everything except for the imap server), I could not get the Courier authdaemon working properly, and no mail would be accepted by the smtp server. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge courier 2. emerge courier-imap Actual Results: Notice that there are two versions of authdaemond installed. The one referenced in the courier init scripts hangs on startup. The IMAP server can authenticate against the other one, but esmtpd cannot. The error from esmtpd were as follows: courieresmtpd: CRIT: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: No such file or directory courieresmtpd: error,relay=127.0.0.1,from=<>,to=<sam@glendale.org.uk>: 450 Service temporarily unavailable. Expected Results: Both esmtpd and imapd should have been able to use the same authdaemond for pam authentication. NB: Whilst trying to get both packages working together, I installed some other packages, such as mysql, which were picked up after I uninstalled both, and re-installed courier.

Alexander Skwar: PHP does NOT depend on courier-imap. In this case, the problem is with cyrus-sasl wanting courier-imap when USE=authdaemond (it should accept both courier and courier-imap). langthang: could you please have courier block courier-imap, and vice-versa?
Robin, yes, you're right. PHP doesn't directly depend on courier imap. However, courier-imap was going to be installed, because I was going to install php. This caused openldap and cyrus-sasl to be installed. Anyhow, my point was, that courier should provide everything that courier-imap provides, so that courier-imap doesn't get installed when something (for example, cyrus-sasl) needs "something".
in cvs. courier-imap now blocks virtual/imapd.
But why block on virtual/imapd ? Aren't these two packages (courier and courier-imap) the only two that block each other? I expect that bincimapd would nicely live together with courier, or courier-imap, or cyrus for that matter?
I just wanted to add that I use courier-imap with bincimap on several servers with no problems at all - they seem to live quite happily together. This is to provide a secure POP3 daemon and a backup secure IMAP daemon on a second IP. Is it possible to correct this behaviour with regards to courier-imap blocking bincimap?
