Bug 68539 – gnupg 1.2.6 depends on ssmtp rather than virtual/mta --- portage problem?

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Thomas T. Veldhouse 2004-10-22 06:24:12 UTC]

I already have postfix installed and if I pretend to unmerge virtual/mta:

root@ekg veldy # emerge unmerge --pretend virtual/mta

>>> These are the packages that I would unmerge:

 mail-mta/postfix
    selected: 2.1.3
   protected: none
     omitted: none

>>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
>>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.



Yet, when I pretend to emerge gnupg, I get the following:

veldy@ekg veldy $ emerge -p gnupg

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] mail-mta/ssmtp-2.60.9  
[ebuild  N    ] app-crypt/gnupg-1.2.6  

SSMTP should not be pulled in here.  I checked the ebuild for gnupg, it indeed references virtual/mta ... so there appears to be an issue with portage.  I do NOT have mailwrapper set as a USE option.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
See details
Actual Results:  
See details

Expected Results:  
Only gnupg should have been emerged and not ssmtp.

not a gnupg problem, back to bug-wranglers.

[Comment 2 Thomas T. Veldhouse 2004-10-25 05:32:07 UTC]

I see this was assigned to crypto ... but my description indicates the issue is with portage and no comments to date seem to indicate otherwise.

[Comment 3 Daniel Black (RETIRED) 2004-10-25 05:51:24 UTC]

can you emerge portage-2.0.51-r2 and see if you still have a problem. If so assign the bug to [e-mail]

[Comment 4 Daniel Black (RETIRED) 2004-11-15 13:09:30 UTC]

going to assume portage 2.0.51 solves your problem.
