Bug 31655 – net-mail/cyrus-imapd-2.1.15 has DEPEND on ucd-snmp

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Thomas Preissler 2003-10-21 00:42:50 UTC]

This ebuild has a DEPEND on ucd-snmp. When the newest version of ucd-snmp is
installed, net-snmp-*, "emerge -upD world" complains about missing ucd-snmp.
But ucd-snmp is defined as a blocker to net-snmp and vice versa.

I modified the DEPEND to "virtual/snmp" and everything works fine, so I recommend this.

cyrus doesn't work with net-snmp (even with compatibility enabled).  it still
compiles, but disables snmp support.

what do you mean that the newest version of ucd-snmp things complain about
missing?  I'm not understanding this. please elaborate.

[Comment 2 Thomas Preissler 2003-10-21 07:40:47 UTC]

I have net-snmp-5.0.9-r1 installed. When I want to emerge cyrus-imapd it
wants to emerge ucd-snmp, too. But - net-snmp is already installed and that
blocks the emerging of ucd-snmp.

[blocks B     ] net-analyzer/net-snmp ("virtual/snmp" from pkg net-analyzer/ucd-snmp-4.2.6-r1)

Therefore I search the whole portage tree for DEPEND's on ucd-snmp, which
are wrong, I thought. But - I did not know, that cyrus-imapd does not work
with net-snmp... So - bad. very bad.

like I said, cyrus doesn't support net-snmp, but only ucd-snmp.  you can
either switch your system to ucd-snmp or just disable snmp support for cyrus
by doing adding -snmp to your USE flags in /etc/make.conf or with something
like this:

  # USE=-snmp emerge cyrus-imapd
