Bug 97422 – I wrongly get "<net-ftp/vsftpd-2.0.3-r1 (is blocking net-ftp/ftpbase-0.00)"

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Peter Thomassen 2005-06-29 14:26:17 UTC]

Hi,
as you see, vsftpd is to be upgraded to 2.0.3-r1 which is not "<2.0.3-r1". Portage wrongly considers vsftpd to be blocking ftpbase. Installing ftpbase manually doesn't work.

tux peter # emerge -atv vsftpd

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

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B     ] <net-ftp/vsftpd-2.0.3-r1 (is blocking net-ftp/ftpbase-0.00)
[ebuild     U ] net-ftp/vsftpd-2.0.3-r1 [2.0.3] +pam +ssl +tcpd -xinetd 149 kB
[ebuild  N    ]  net-ftp/ftpbase-0.00  +pam 0 kB

Total size of downloads: 149 kB

!!! Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be installed
!!!        on the same system.

Unmerge the old vsftpd version and emerge the new one. Portage is working OK.

net-ftp/ftpbase-0.00
<snip>
DEPEND="pam? ( || ( virtual/pam sys-libs/pam ) )
        !<net-ftp/proftpd-1.2.10-r6
        !<net-ftp/pure-ftpd-1.0.20-r2
        !<net-ftp/vsftpd-2.0.3-r1"
</snip>

[Comment 2 Peter Thomassen 2005-06-29 14:46:44 UTC]

I think it is not working ok because the upgrade function aborts with the error 
I mentioned, but unmerging the old version an reemerging the new basically _is_ 
an upgrade. 
 
So why doesn't Portage ignore those dependency pseudo errors which are 
automatically solved after an upgrade? Why do I have to intervene? 
 
I first thougt this was a typo in ftpbase-0.00.ebuild which is why I assigned 
this to component Server, but I really think Portage could handle this in a 
better way.

See Bug 79606. Portage won't handle this for you, sorry.
