Bug 682144 – mail-mta/postfix-3.3.1-r1 with dev-libs/icu-64.1(?) - make: *** [Makefile.in:31: Makefiles] Error 1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX

[Description Carlos Konstanski 2019-03-31 15:39:51 UTC]

I have postfix-3.3.1-r1 installed. It was installed under a previous kernel version. That initial build was successful. A recent icu upgrade is causing a rebuild of postfix. Now postfix fails to build. The kernel was upgraded during the intervening time. It appears as if some check during the configure phase is breaking on the new kernel version string.

The postfix build error (full log attached as well):

[code]ATTENTION: Unknown system type: Linux 5.0.5-gentoo[/code]

Attachment uploading is broken (at least for me), so I will post build.log here. It's quite short.

Downgrading icu to stable dev-libs/icu-63.1-r1 fixed the problem.

[Comment 3 Eray Aslan 2019-04-01 06:19:38 UTC]

LINUX5 support was added with mail-mta/postfix-3.3.3.  You are mixing stable (mail-mta/postfix) and unstable (sys-kernel/gentoo-sources) branches.  You will have to choose one or the other for both packages.

Closing.
