Bug 56235 – portage has wrong emerge order: turck-mmcache dependent on php-cli, not the other way round

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Jo Havik 2004-07-06 05:49:42 UTC]

I emerged turck-mmcache, which prompted (naturally) the emerge of mod_php.
After installing mod_php, the emerge of turck-mmcache fails.

turck-mmcache uses phpize, which is part of the php-cli package. Installing php-cli manually solves the problem.

Sorry, but i'm a newbie with gentoo/emerge, and have no time to pinpoint the error.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge turck-mmcache (without having php installed)
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
configure of mmcache fails

Expected Results:  
emerged php-cli before, not after, mmcache

on a box without any php/mod_php/php-cgi or turck-mmcache installed:

hevesy-int root # emerge -p turck-mmcache
[ebuild  N    ] dev-php/mod_php-4.3.7-r1
[ebuild  N    ] dev-php/turck-mmcache-2.4.6
[ebuild  N    ] dev-php/php-4.3.7-r1

This is clearly incorrect.
turck-mmcache needs dev-php/php, as it's eclass (php-ext-source) has it as a DEPEND. It also has virtual/php as an RDEPEND.
mod_php has PDEPEND="dev-php/php" again via it's eclass (php-sapi).

I can't duplicate this w/ pre13 when I tested it, nor with pre15.  Still an issue?

[Comment 3 Jason Stubbs (RETIRED) 2004-08-05 08:04:39 UTC]

It's not a circular dependency, but it's in the same class of dep calculation error.

[Comment 4 Robin Johnson 2005-02-14 00:11:25 UTC]

this no longer seems to be broken, so closig it.
