Bug 337710 – dev-lang/php-5.2.14 conflict with www-server/apache and USE="threads"

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX

[Description Agostino Sarubbo 2010-09-16 21:45:39 UTC]

I know a conflict installing php with apache.
The commands and their output data are:


E2160 ago # emerge -pv php

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy "www-servers/apache[threads=]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- www-servers/apache-2.2.16 (Change USE: -threads)
- dev-lang/php-5.2.14 (Change USE: +threads)
(dependency required by "dev-lang/php-5.2.14" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "php" [argument])

Now i change in p.use:
www-servers/apache -threads
dev-lang/php -gdbm threads.

Now i restart emerge of php;

E2160 ago # emerge -pv php

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy "www-servers/apache[threads=]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- www-servers/apache-2.2.16 (Change USE: +threads)
- dev-lang/php-5.2.14 (Change USE: -threads)
(dependency required by "dev-lang/php-5.2.14" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "php" [argument])



In the first phase, portage tells me to change apache with -threads and php with +threads. Once changed, it suggests to me the opposite

Reproducible: Always

Always post emerge --info

[Comment 2 Agostino Sarubbo 2010-09-18 09:17:42 UTC]

Created attachment 247757 [details]
emerge --info

Of course all the other stations I can install php. This is considered a test machine, which is why this came out

This is weird - www-servers/apache[threads=] means USE=threads must be the same on both apache and php. I've never seen that failing before. I'll investigate with the portage folks..

Undoubtedly, I took on this machine, especially for tests to find bugs and in general .. I have no problem with apache and php

But in this case with that configuration I found the anomaly.

If you find it very strange, I can  register with recordMyDesktop and post the result :)

Actually, reading closer (sorry, I'm late on this):
!!! *One of* the following packages is required to complete your request: (emphasis mine)

So the listed packages are alternatives. Use either of them and it should work.
That is, in theory. Because you have USE="sharedmem", php will force you to USE="-threads", so removing that dev-lang/php line from p.use should work.

Can you retry?

[Comment 6 Agostino Sarubbo 2010-10-08 18:00:10 UTC]

due to rupture disks that I have not this installation, I try to reproduce the bug in the future, for now you may close this bug

[Comment 7 Matti Bickel (RETIRED) 2010-10-18 21:12:25 UTC]

CANTFIX as it works as intended. I know the wording could be better, I'm eagerly waiting for portage to give me the ability to specify those deps more precisely.
