THIS IS A MASS FILING TO ALL PACKAGE WITH A DEPEND ON virtual/mysql As was announced on the gentoo-dev-announce mailing list[1], virtual/mysql is no longer viable to depend on providing the client libraries or the mysql_config tool. Most uses of DEPEND="virtual/mysql" (or conditionals based upon it) will not work in the future. If this package (optionally) depends on libmysqlclient.so* or mysql_config for building, you will need to have dev-db/mysql-connector-c as the DEPEND/RDEPEND. If this package (optionally) depends on libmariadb.so* or mariadb_config for building, you will need to have dev-db/mariadb-connector-c as the DEPEND/RDEPEND. If this package requires the server running locally, virtual/mysql is acceptible for RDEPEND and only in DEPEND when tests demand it. The rare exception when server only files are required at build time should you keep a compatible server listed. After 60 days, roughly mid-October 2018, remaining packages will be forcefully changed to mysql-connector-c with little or no testing. The server packages will drop their compatibility DEPEND shortly after. [1] https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev-announce/message/618f39bce863911d8955ee9f83636ca4
While DEPEND has been fixed in dev-perl/DBD-mysql-4.44.0 (and the older versions masked), for some reason portage doesn't detect the need for a rebuild: # emerge -uDN world The following mask changes are necessary to proceed: (see "package.unmask" in the portage(5) man page for more details) # required by dev-perl/DBD-mysql-4.44.0::gentoo # required by dev-db/mariadb-10.2.22-r1::gentoo[perl] # required by virtual/mysql-5.6-r12::gentoo # required by kde-apps/akonadi-19.08.0::gentoo[mysql] # required by kde-apps/akonadiconsole-19.08.0::gentoo # required by kde-apps/kdepim-meta-19.08.0::gentoo # required by @selected # required by @world (argument) # /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask: # Brian Evans <grknight@gentoo.org> (2019-08-26) # Deprecated virtual as it cannot solve the issue of ABI incompatibility # and rebuild consumers when provider changes # No revdeps. Removal in 30 days. =virtual/libmysqlclient-18-r1 A manual rebuild (emerge -1 dev-perl/DBD-mysql) fixes the issue, but a revbump to "-r1" would probably ease the transistion. See also bug #661480 which has been asking for a version bump for over a year.
