Upgrading PHP - I have Postfix, Portage wants SSMTP

Message

Clapper · Post by **Clapper** » Tue Oct 23, 2007 1:29 am

I am trying to do security upgrades on an old box. PHP needs to be updated.

When I try to upgrade it, it wants to install SSMTP, which it can't because Postfix is on there.

Can anyone tell me how to get pas this? Is it a use flag in PHP that is causing it to install SSMTP, or, should i be looking somewhere else to fix the conflict?

Code: Select all

emerge -pv php

What's the output of

Code: Select all

cat /var/db/pkg/mail-mta/postfix-2.2.10/PROVIDE

Thanks for the response!

www ~ # cat /var/db/pkg/mail-mta/postfix-2.2.10/PROVIDE
virtual/mta virtual/mda

what am I learning here?

Odd. Usually ssmpt is brought in as a provider for virtual/mta (which is a dependency of php), but on your system that should already be satisfied by postfix as stated in the PROVIDE file. What does

Code: Select all

emerge -p --debug php

say?
(that's going to be a lot of output, so better post it on a pastebin site or upload it somewhere instead of posting it here directly)
Also the output of

Code: Select all

python -c "import portage; print portage.settings.getvirtuals()['virtual/mta']"

might be useful.

Thanks again for the response!

Output not too huge... here goes:

Hmm, I don't see any reason why it would pull in ssmtp, so please file a bug about it (and attach all the info I requested here).

I tried that.... there is apparently a bug that has been open since 2002 on this one!

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1343

I've noticed tho that the latest sys-apps/portage-2.1.3.19 seems to have fixed this issue!
(for me anyway)
