I'm installed dev-db/postgresql-base-8.3.5(linguas_ru nls pam readline ssl threads zlib) on client and dev-db/postgresql-server-8.3.5(kernel_linux linguas_ru nls perl python xml) on server, but client doesn't have working enviroment. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unmask and install dev-db/postgresql-base-8.3.5(linguas_ru nls pam readline ssl threads zlib), app-admin/eselect-postgresql-0.3, virtual/postgresql-base-8.3 on client 2. Unmask and install on server dev-db/postgresql-server-8.3.5(kernel_linux linguas_ru nls perl python xml), dev-db/postgresql-base-8.3.5(linguas_ru nls pam readline ssl zlib), app-admin/eselect-postgresql-0.3 on server Actual Results: After server start, I'm test connect with server side client: # psql postgres postgres Welcome to psql 8.3.5, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal. Type: \copyright for distribution terms \h for help with SQL commands \? for help with psql commands \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query \q to quit postgres=# So, it's work. After it, I probe some on client computer, but can't find psql. Search it: # equery f dev-db/postgresql-base | grep psq /usr/lib/postgresql-8.3/bin/psql /usr/share/postgresql-8.3/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/psql.mo /usr/share/postgresql-8.3/man/man1/psql.1.bz2 /usr/share/postgresql-8.3/psqlrc.sample And test connect to server from client computer: # file /usr/lib/postgresql-8.3/bin/psql /usr/lib/postgresql-8.3/bin/psql: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped # /usr/lib/postgresql-8.3/bin/psql -h homegate postgres postgres Welcome to psql 8.3.5, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal. Type: \copyright for distribution terms \h for help with SQL commands \? for help with psql commands \g or terminate with semicolon to execute query \q to quit postgres=# Ok, this work, but why psql finds in /usr/bin? I'm look on server computer: # which psql /usr/bin/psql # ls -l /usr/bin/psql lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Апр 4 23:04 /usr/bin/psql -> /usr/lib/eselect-postgresql/binwrapper Hm, there using eselect? Probe on client computer: # eselect postgresql list Available postgresql installations 8.3 <-* base-8.3.5 docs-8.3.5 8.3 is active, but I'm exec anymore: # eselect postgresql set 8.3 !!! Warning: No file '/usr/include/postgresql-8.3/libpq-fe.h' to symlink !!! Warning: No file '/usr/include/postgresql-8.3/libpq' to symlink !!! Warning: No file '/usr/include/postgresql-8.3/postgres_ext.h' to symlink Expected Results: After all I can't see symlinks to psql and other client programs in /usr/bin Uncorrect enviroment settings doesn't gave me install on client computer some programs for example dev-ruby/ruby-postgres (Could not find PostgreSQL build environment (libraries & headers)) , dev-db/pgadmin3 (configure: error:

This is probably related to dev-db/libpq being removed after dev-db/postgresql-base had been emerged. This bug can probably be closed unless the issue persists.
