Description Collins Richey 2003-10-11 21:52:26 UTC

At some point I emerged a newer version of perl (perl-5.8.0-r10), no indication
of dependancy with DBD-mysql-2.1027.  Apparently DBD-mysql had a hard coded
reference to /usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.10 but only
/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.12 is available with latest perl.  When I attempted
to run DBD-mysql perl code, the attempt failed trying to load
libmysqlclient.so.10.  I re-emerged DBD-mysql, and then the program worked.  I
presume that DBD-mysql must be re-emerged with each perl upgrade that changes
the level of libmysqlclient

Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
I presume, cannot verify.
1. emerge a version of perl with libmysqlclient.so.10
2. emerge DBD-mysql
3. emerge a version of perl with libmysqlclient.so.12
4. DBD-mysql code fails


Actual Results:  
Same as above.

Expected Results:  
I presume that DBD-mysql should be marked as blocking any version of perl that
changes the libmysqlclient.so.nn level. Or the perl builds could include a
symlink for the older level?
