mod_php-5.0.4 inherits apache-module which in turn inherits depend.apache mod_php-5.0.4 then calls need_apache need_apache sets this DEPEND: ## Dependencies for apache 1.x and apache 2.x ## - apache2 must be at least version 2.0.52-r3, this is lowest version ## containing our new overall changes -- trapni (Jan 21 2005) APACHE2_DEPEND=">=net-www/apache-2.0.54-r10" But that makes it depend on only masked ebuilds. And the comment doesn't state a good reason why this is so. Why not set the APACHE2_DEPEND=">=net-www/apache-2.0.52-r3" ? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE="apache2" emerge mod_php ## and unmask mod_php-5.0.4 but I guess all ebuilds that inherit apache-modules.eclass will fail. Actual Results: # emerge -avt mod_php These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies - !!!

Re-assignment.
mod_php 5 uses the new config layout, which is why it inherits apache-module.eclass, and so on. Apache 2.0.54-r10 is the version that supports the new-style config, others that would fill the dependency you gave use the old-style config, which would break when using mod_php 5. Marking invalid.
