 Posted: Tue Jan 06, 2009 6:06 pm Post subject: [solved] emerge blocks on an unmerged package |
 |
|
I'm trying to get rid of ssmtp and install courier. They block each other, reasonably enough, but even after I successfully unmerge ssmtp, emerge still reports the block. I'm summarizing the commands here; the full output is given below.
| Code: | server ~ # emerge mail-mta/courier
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] dev-libs/pth-2.0.7-r1 USE="-debug"
.....
[ebuild N ] mail-mta/courier-0.59.0 USE="crypt ipv6 nls pam -fam -fax -ldap -mailwrapper -mysql -norewrite -postgres -spell -web -webmail"
[blocks B ] mail-mta/courier (is blocking mail-mta/ssmtp-2.62-r3)
[blocks B ] mail-mta/ssmtp (is blocking mail-mta/courier-0.59.0)
... |
So, let's remove ssmtp.
| Code: | server ~ # emerge -C ssmtp
mail-mta/ssmtp
selected: 2.62-r3
protected: none
omitted: none
....
<<< dir /etc/ssmtp
--- !empty dir /etc
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
* GNU info directory index is up-to-date.
server ~ # emerge --search ssmtp
...
* mail-mta/ssmtp
Latest version available: 2.62-r3
Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
Size of files: 55 kB
....
server ~ # esearch ssmtp
...
* mail-mta/ssmtp
Latest version available: 2.61-r2
Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
Size of downloaded files: [no/bad digest]
... |
I don't know what to make of the fact the emerge --search and esearch find different versions of ssmtp, but neither one is installed. But emerge seems to forget that when I try to install courier again
| Code: | emerge mail-mta/courier
...
[blocks B ] mail-mta/courier (is blocking mail-mta/ssmtp-2.62-r3)
[blocks B ] mail-mta/ssmtp (is blocking mail-mta/courier-0.59.0)

I'm sorry if I'm missing something obvious. I'd really like to get this to work. I'd appreciate any advice you can give me.
I'm sending emerge --info below, followed by a complete output from the above commands.

Try --tree to find out if there is a package that wants ssmtp. Enabling mailwrapper for courier might help too

Thank you for the --tree suggestion:
| Code: | server ~ # emerge --tree mail-mta/courier
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Am I reading this correctly that the problem is a cycle?
courier -needs-> gnupg -needs-> ssmtp -conflicts-> courier
How can I deal with that?
I also tried mailwrapper, which just changed things around a bit:
| Code: | server ~ # USE="mailwrapper" emerge --tree mail-mta/courier
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

[ebuild N ] mail-mta/courier-0.59.0 USE="crypt ipv6 mailwrapper nls pam -fam -fax -ldap -mysql -norewrite -postgres -spell -web -webmail"

[ebuild N ] app-crypt/gnupg-2.0.9 USE="bzip2 nls -doc -ldap -openct -pcsc-lite (-selinux) -smartcard"

You're reading it right, but gnupg doesn't need ssmtp, just some mta (such as courier or ssmtp). The way to solve this is to first install courier in a way so that it does not need gnupg, then reinstall it with the options you really want. | Code: | USE=-crypt emerge courier
emerge courier |
There's not really a good alternative. You need courier installed before you can install gnupg, and you need gnupg installed before you can install courier with USE=crypt. |

That did it, thanks for your help.
Portage seems to be quite good at expressing dependences. Does it not have a way to express an abstract target like "some mta"? |

| It does: virtual/mta. This is what gnupg depends on already, so when you don't have an mta installed yet (even if you're in the process of installing one), portage will try to emerge ssmtp, and when you do have an mta (after USE=-crype emerge courier), portage stops trying to emerge ssmtp. |

It would be nice if emerge noticed that the final target was an MTA, so it would know not to try loading another one.
Anyway, thanks again. |
