Bug 95547 – subversion-1.2.0 depends on apache2 even when -apache2

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Gustavo Ribeiro Alves 2005-06-09 05:02:36 UTC]

subversion-1.2.0 wants to install apache 2 even when the apache2 user flag is unset.

If it needs apache anyways it should not have the userflag. If it does not need it something is wrong.

gustavo subversion # equery d net-www/apache

dev-util/subversion-1.2.0
gustavo subversion # emerge -pv subversion

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

It doesn't need apache2. Assuming you don't have apache 2 installed the pretend
stage is also correct. It seems as though equery is broken. That I cannot help with.

If this is correct then portage is also broken, since I don't want apache to be
installed and everytime I do an emerge -C apache it tries to install it again on
the next emerge -auDv world.

About equery, that's reported as bug #81012. (I'm not sure if this is
intentional or a bug / missing feature, but I'm guessing bug.)

What do you see if you try emerge -auDvt world? This is a more reliable method
for determining what pulls it in.

My bad. info2html was the dependancy, not subversion. The problem is probably
with the equery tool. Thanks for the -t option, I didn't know it existed.
