Bug 22693 – emerge erroneously emerging a non-dependency

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Jeremy Huddleston (RETIRED) 2003-06-12 13:23:06 UTC]

I'm not sure exactly how to setup a system to reproduce this bug because it is 
happening on one of my systems, but not another one, and they are nearly 
identical.  When I 'emerge -p php', firebird is going to be emerged as well, but 
it is not a dependency of php... so I am a bit confused...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

/usr/local/download/portage/pkglist $ emerge -p php

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

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N   ] dev-db/firebird-1.0-r1  
[ebuild  N   ] dev-php/php-4.3.2

Firebird IS a dependancy of php if you have USE="firebird".
You do have that use flag set, so Firebird is pulled in.
If you don't use it, take it out of your USE flags.

I don't know why you thought it wasn't a dependancy of PHP?
'emerge -pDv php' provides more helpful output in many cases.
