[gentoo-user] Automatic package updates

Hello all,

I use Mozilla Thunderbird along with the enigmail plugin.  Whenever I 
update world, it updates Thunderbird, which then tells me to manually 
re-install enigmail.  However, since I generally update world while I'm 
away, I usually forget to re-install enigmail, which means that when I 
want to send a message, my PGP options aren't available.

Is it possible to have portage automatically re-install the enigmail 
plugin (or other similar situations)?

Kevin

Crypt is enabled in my use flags.  The problem isn't on the initial install - enigmail installed with no problems.  The problem is that if I upgrade thunderbird, I need to manually re-install enigmail before I can sign and encrypt.  I'm looking for an automatic way to re-install enigmail when required, and not when it's not required.

Hi,
Try exchanging thunderbird with enigmail in your /var/lib/portage/world.
Do it manually, no problem as one of the duo is in world (+crypt
USE-flag).

Still doesn't work.  The problem is that deps aren't updated unless they also require an update.  Since enigmail doesn't require an update, it doesn't re-install.  However, thunderbird can't see it unless enigmail is manually re-installed, no matter the USE flags or world ordering.

Hi,
Looking in the thunderbird ebuild:
PDEPEND="crypt? (>=x11-plugins/enigmail-0.95.1 )
So if PDEPEND <> DEPEND it should re-emerge enigmail after an update.
enigmail just DEPENDs on TB.
But agree that this might not work.

The ?DEPENDS don't affect this as they are satisfied, all DEPENDed
packages are already installed. You should be able to do this by
including the necessary commands in a pkg_postinst() function
in /etc/portage/env/mail-client/mozilla-thunderbird.
