Re: [gentoo-user] complete mess with dev-lang/php and dev-php/php

[Mark Shields]

I mentioned this as a possible bug on the forums (http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-381582-highlight-egroupware.html , as related to the latest version of egroupware), but someone blew me down without checking the facts out.  In my not so humble opinion, if a package is fauling to emerge half-way through the emerge because it requires a package, that is a bug.  If it was working correctly, it would fail on the DEPENDENCIES check.  It may not be a bug in the ebuild for egroupware, but a problem with the virtual/php package.

No?

It seems there is now a complete mess with these two packages at ~x86.
I guess I should go either with one or another, but not with both.
If I try to emerge PEAR-PEAR, it asks me to get dev-lang/php-5.x to install PEAR-PEAR-1.3.6.
If I do so, I get back to those strange messages about blocking packages that I posted yesterday.
So, I tried to mask >=1.3.6. Now, a dependency of PEAR-PEAR (PEAR-Archive_Tar) seems to require dev-lang/php.
What am I missing? Why dev-php and dev-lang? Which of them should I use?
It's all completely broken here as of now.
