Bug 337207 – dev-php/PEAR-MDB2-2.5.0_beta3 needs dev-php/PEAR-PEAR-1.9.1

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Georgi Georgiev 2010-09-14 04:12:40 UTC]

Installing the unstable version of dev-php/PEAR-MDB2-2.5.0_beta3 fails with:

This package.xml requires PEAR version 1.9.1 to parse properly, we are version 1.9.0
Parsing of package.xml from file "/var/tmp/portage/dev-php-PEAR-MDB2-2.5.0_beta3/work/MDB2-2.5.0b3/package.xml" failed
Cannot download non-local package "/var/tmp/portage/dev-php-PEAR-MDB2-2.5.0_beta3/work/MDB2-2.5.0b3/package.xml"
install failed


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Unmask dev-php/PEAR-MDB2
2. Keep the stable keywords for dev-php/PEAR-PEAR (so that 1.9.1 is not unmasked)
3. Install dev-php/PEAR-MDB2-2.5.0_beta3

Actual Results:  
Fails with:

This package.xml requires PEAR version 1.9.1 to parse properly, we are version 1.9.0

Expected Results:  
Installed the package.

I guess this is a straightforward fix.

I've already asked arch teams to stable PEAR-PEAR-1.9.1. I'm sorry stable users are inconvenienced by this. But PEAR-MDB2-2.5.0_beta3 only is required for php-5.3, currently also under testing.

In short: I know about this and it will be fixed shortly. Leaving this bug open until then.

Dependencies should be fixed now.
