 Posted: Mon Jun 20, 2011 1:34 pm Post subject: Portage suddently wants to install Courier [SOLVED] |
 |
|
This morning Portage suddenly wants to install courier on my laptop.
Up until now I've had ssmtp installed, but this morning Portage wants to uninstall it and install couriier instead, showing a lower-case (auto-resolvable) block. Has ssmtp beed deprecated in favor of courier? What's odd is that courier shows no "S" in its install, the way files that are part of @system normally do.
| Code: | # emerge -ptuvDN world
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[blocks b ] mail-mta/courier ("mail-mta/courier" is blocking mail-mta/ssmtp-2.62-r8)
[uninstall ] mail-mta/ssmtp-2.62-r8 USE="ssl -ipv6 -maxsysuid (-md5sum)"
[ebuild N ] mail-mta/courier-0.65.2-r1 USE="crypt fam ldap nls pam spell -fax -ipv6 -mysql -norewrite -postgres -web -webmail" 6,986 kB
[ebuild N ] net-libs/courier-authlib-0.63.0-r1 USE="berkdb crypt gdbm ldap pam -debug -mysql -postgres -vpopmail" 2,752 kB
Total: 2 packages (2 new, 1 uninstall), Size of downloads: 9,737 kB
Conflict: 2 blocks
* IMPORTANT: 1 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news to read news items. |
On other systems I use postfix, and if I have to install a "real" MTA instead of ssmtp, I'd rather just install postfix with a simple null-mailer configuration, and not have to learn admin on another mta.
What's up?

The question you should ask is : why your system does not want to upgrade to mail-mta/ssmtp-2.64-r2 ?
| Code: |
$ grep -A 2 ^RDEPEND $(equery w mta)
RDEPEND="|| ( >=mail-mta/ssmtp-2.64-r2[mta]
<mail-mta/ssmtp-2.64-r2
mail-mta/courier
|
Since your system does not want to upgrade ssmtp, it wants to install next virtual/mta on the list : mail-mta/courier. |

Even weirder... I tried "emerge -a1tv ssmtp" and it happily upgraded me from mail-mta/ssmp-2.62-r8 to mail-mta/ssmtp-2.64-r2, no problems. But now if I do "emerge -ptuvDN world" it wants to remove the new ssmtp and install courier. I normally run "emerge -atuvDN world" so I can see the chain of demand on packages. But as far as I can see, nothing is demanding courier, not even @system, it just wants to do it.
Never mind - I see now. I have to add the "mta" use flag to ssmtp. From "virtual/mta/mta-0.ebuild:
RDEPEND="|| ( >=mail-mta/ssmtp-2.64-r2[mta]
<mail-mta/ssmtp-2.64-r2
mail-mta/courier
mail-mta/esmtp
mail-mta/exim
mail-mta/mini-qmail
>=mail-mta/msmtp-1.4.19-r1[mta]
<mail-mta/msmtp-1.4.19-r1
mail-mta/nbsmtp
mail-mta/netqmail
mail-mta/nullmailer
mail-mta/postfix
mail-mta/qmail-ldap
mail-mta/sendmail
mail-mta/citadel[-postfix] )"
The "mta" USE flag looks to be new to ssmtp with 2.64-r2, which is why this all suddenly popped up. I've added that to /etc/portage/package.use and now "emerge -atuvDN world" is rebuilding mail-mta/ssmtp with the new flag.
