 Posted: Thu Dec 13, 2007 1:05 am Post subject: SOLVED: apr is blocking apache-2.0.54-r4. How to solve? |
 |
|
I need to upgrade apache but apr is blocking it. I don't know why nor how to prevent it since I'm just trying to upgrade apache (nothing else) and apr is not presently installed. Seems illogical.
I don't know what other data to provide than what's below. Thanks for any help.
| Code: | formic ~ # emerge apache --pretend
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild U ] www-servers/apache-2.2.6 [2.0.54-r4] USE="ldap* -mpm-event% -mpm-itk% -mpm-peruser% -mpm-prefork% -mpm-worker% -no-suexec% (-selinux) -static-modules%"
[ebuild N ] dev-libs/apr-1.2.11 USE="ipv6 -debug -doc -urandom"
[ebuild N ] dev-libs/apr-util-1.2.10 USE="berkdb gdbm ldap mysql -doc -postgres -sqlite -sqlite3"
[ebuild N ] app-admin/apache-tools-2.2.6 USE="ssl"
[blocks B ] dev-libs/apr (is blocking www-servers/apache-2.0.54-r4)
[blocks B ] dev-libs/apr-util (is blocking www-servers/apache-2.0.54-r4)
[blocks B ] <www-servers/apache-2.2.4 (is blocking app-admin/apache-tools-2.2.6)

You have to unmerge all the blockers before you upgrade, so do this:
| Code: |
emerge -C apache && emerge apache
|
This is a case of poor phrasing in the emerge output. It should say:
| Quote: |
[blocked B ] dev-libs/apr (is blocked by www-servers/apache-2.0.54-r4)
[blocked B ] dev-libs/apr-util (is blocked by www-servers/apache-2.0.54-r4)
|
so it's clear that it's about packages that can't be installed rather than packages that are installed. Even the technically correct output could use changing. Instead of:
| Quote: |
[blocks B ] <www-servers/apache-2.2.4 (is blocking app-admin/apache-tools-2.2.6)
|
it should just substitute the installed version :
| Quote: |
[blocking B ] =www-servers/apache-2.0.54-r4 (is blocking app-admin/apache-tools-2.2.6)
|

| Thanks. Is there a way I can be sure that the upgrade version of apache (apache-2.2.4) doesn't also block apr? I'd like to check this before I unmerge the existing apache version. |

Just check the ebuild. Anything in the dependencies with a '!' prefixed is a blocker. No "not", no block. In this case, apache-2.2.6 is not blocked by <apr-1 or <apr-util-1; it just needs =apr-1* and =apr-util-1*. You'll probably want to unmerge the old apr and apr-util packages after the upgrade, since it's likely nothing will need them anymore. You can always check w/ "equery depends" to be sure.
