Everytime I run a 'emerge -uDp world' It wants to upgrade the php4 to either php5 or another form of php4. This gets a little confusing, so I'll try to be very clear. I do not have php5 installed, and I do not want php5 installed on this system. I've tried all sorts of machinations in the /etc/portage dir, without success. Here's what I have installed: dev-lang/php Available versions: 4.3.11-r5 4.4.1-r3 ~4.4.2 [M]5.0.5-r5 [M]5.1.2 Installed: none dev-php/mod_php Installed: 4.4.0-r9 dev-php/php Installed: 4.4.0-r4 So I've tried various entries in my /etc/portage/package.mask file to get the system happy. package.mask contains: '>=dev-lang/php-5.0.5' Focusing on php, I run 'emerge -pv dev-lang/php' and here is the response. These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [blocks B ] dev-php/mod_php (is blocking dev-lang/php-4.4.2) [blocks B ] dev-php/php (is blocking dev-lang/php-4.4.2) [ebuild N ] dev-lang/php-4.4.2 So the question is what do I put in /etc/portage/? file to get the system to accept the older dev-php files and not try to install 'dev-lang/php' ? I cannot just install 'dev-lang/php' as it is blocked by the (2) dev-php files that I need: dev-php/mod_php and dev-php/php. Of coarse, take what I'm saying with a grain of salt, as I'm describing the symptoms of a php problem without fully understandings what these package name/group changes really mean...(where does one read about what the developers are doing with php and why?). jffnms is the critical package here that is causing the php heartburn..... Everythings works, I just want the system to quit asking to upgrade php, everytime I upgrade the rest of the system. ideas? What did I miss? James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
