Description Sven Garbade 2019-03-28 13:27:01 UTC
I recently have mail-client/s-nail installed (because mail-client/nail will be masked in the near future) and now an update fails:

%> ionice -c3 emerge --update --newuse --deep  @world                           

Calculating dependencies... done!

It seems that loghceck is depending on virtual/mailx-1 which wants to install net-mail/mailutils:

%> equery depends virtual/mailx-1                                                   

 * These packages depend on virtual/mailx-1:
app-admin/logcheck-1.3.18-r1 (virtual/mailx)

I need the functionality of s-nail, therefore replacing s-nail with mailutils is not an option for me. Additionally, I have not observed any problems with logcheck in combination with s-nail so far. 

Any ideas to solve the problem?
Comment 1 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-03-28 13:52:28 UTC
You could solve this locally by unmasking =virtual/mailx-2
Comment 2 Sven Garbade 2019-03-28 14:14:20 UTC
great, thanks!
Comment 3 Uwe Scholz 2019-04-18 21:25:40 UTC
I ran into the same issue. Unmasking =virtual/mailx-2 solved it for me, too.
Comment 4 tazinblack 2019-05-03 07:49:45 UTC
Same problem here. Workaround to unmask =virtual/mailx-2 also worked for me
Comment 5 Conrad Kostecki gentoo-dev 2021-04-25 12:25:35 UTC
I guess, this can be closed, as we have virtual/mailx-3, which has mail-client/s-nail.
