Bug 68750 – procmail and courier mutually block

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Reilly Grant 2004-10-24 14:23:39 UTC]

World cannot be updated because procmail and courier are mutually blocking each other and shouldn't be. Changelog claims that procmail is now part of courier but I see no evidence of this.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have had procmail and courier previously installed.
2. Attempt to emerge -uD world
3. Notice that they are listed as blocking each other

Actual Results:  
[blocks B     ] mail-filter/procmail (from pkg mail-mta/courier-0.46.20040902)
[blocks B     ] mail-mta/courier (from pkg mail-filter/procmail-3.22-r6)

Expected Results:  
No errors.

Scott, I don't see you in net-mail alias, CCing you.

[Comment 2 Jason Santos 2004-12-07 15:32:40 UTC]

Is there any update on this?  The problem still occurs and I am unable to upgrade procmail or courier without resorting to manual trickery, which is sub-optimal.

[Comment 3 Scott Taylor (RETIRED) 2004-12-07 17:18:11 UTC]

done. no more blocking. will be on the mirrors soon
