Bug 18193 – Recent MySQL v4 package release exposes bad depencies in older ebuilds previously incompatible with MySQL 4

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED FIXED

[Description Robin Johnson 2003-03-25 21:30:50 UTC]

A number of older ebuilds were previously found to be incompatible with MySQL 
v4 due to api changes.

Amongst them:
net-mail/vpopmail
net-libs/libwww
net-fs/samba-3.0*
(that was a quick check only)

Since mysql-4.0.11a, a proper solution was found for this, namely building 
MySQL v4 with "-DUSE_OLD_FUNCTIONS", so that the old functions that 
applications required were present.

However the above mentioned packages had bits of depend code left that forces 
downgrading to MySQL v3 if you (re)merge them.

Patches for these are included, but the ebuilds should probably be released as 
new releases because of the MySQL v4 issue. (Some people may have taken the 
forced downgrades to mysql and it would cause problems for them).


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge mysql v4
2. you need to unmask samba for it to show up
3. for i in net-mail/vpopmail net-libs/libwww net-fs/samba; do emerge -pv --
deep $i; done;


Actual Results:  
Shows downgrades to MySQL v3.

Expected Results:  
No downgrade to MySQL v4 required
