Being reverse > order, I am guessing vixie-cron, yet it says "nomerge" so that seems > like, why would it care, plus it's worked fine all these years with the > exim I have installed. vixie-cron has a run-time dependency on virtual/mta which can be satisfied = by=20 both exim and ssmtp (and 8 other packages in the tree). ssmtp is the defaul= t=20 provider. What has happened is that all versions of exim in the tree that you haven't= =20 masked have been removed from the tree. I.e. there are no versions in the=20 tree below 4.55. Therefore it suggests installing the default provider of=20 virtual/mta which is blocked by the version of exim which is still installe= d=20 although not installable (not in the tree). It matters despite the "nomerge= "=20 because it's a run-time dependency rather than build-time. You have at least four options. The first option is to upgrade exim and hop= e=20 it'll work. I have no knowledge about exim so I cannot tell you whether it= =20 will. The second is to restore the ebuild for your installed version in an= =20 overlay (you can pull it from /var/db/pkg/mail-mta/exim-4.54/) thereby=20 restoring a non-masked version of exim.. The third is to add mail-mta/exim = to=20 package.provided (see `man portage`). The fourth is to unmerge exim and use= =20 another mta (I'm using postfix). =2D-=20 Bo Andresen --nextPart1246118.DeXb1JEacm Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBGXBO28/kKEzmwNNoRAoDNAJ99yf/8RV1a3OJxotF7zt7P22XJnwCeMnb8 F1cvcISACVIVBH0yBVapOlw= =Z6q5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1246118.DeXb1JEacm-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
