(In reply to comment #0) >(I don't think that fetchmail will build against heimdal but that may > be another issue.) No, fetchmail won't build against heimdal (see Bug 42534) so this bug is invalid. I disagree that it is an invalid bug, if I already have heimdal installed then this explicit use of mit-krb5 will cause a conflict, if I remove my mit-krb5 package mask and my /etc/portage/profile/virtuals choice of heimdal then: # emerge --deep -p -u fetchmail These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [blocks B ] app-crypt/heimdal (is blocking app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.4.1-r2) [ebuild N ] app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.4.1-r2 If heimdal is installed then the ebuild should disable kerberos support. Then you cannot use fetchmail w/ kerberos, sorry. Put -kerberos into package.use for fetchmail. I consider adding a -kerberos to package.use be a work around for the problem rather than a fix. I think the intention of package.use is to explicitly disable a feature in a package because it is not required not to work around package incompatibilities. In this case, since fetchmail just doesn't work with heimdal, I think that the ebuild should take care of disabling USE=kerberos rather than expecting a package.use entry to be created. |
