Description Ti Leggett 2004-07-02 07:58:44 UTC
The ebuild for gzip-1.3.3-r4 REDPENDs on virtual/libc instead of virtual/glibc. This doesn't cause a problem for building the ebuild from source but it does affect binary packages. 1.3.3-r2 was correct.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build binary package
2. Try to install binary package on another machine
3.
Actual Results:  
Calculating dependencies
emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy "virtual/libc".
 
!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.

Expected Results:  
Successful emerge

Since this version fixes a security problem it should be fixed quickly.

We're switching from virtual/glibc to virtual/libc for consistency reasons.
sys-libs/glibc has been modified to PROVIDE both. I suppose you need to emerge
sync on the other machine to catch up with this change.
