Today, I executed the following command to update my system |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
emerge -auDN world |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
What happened is that gnupg seemed to be downgraded to 1.4.7-r1 version. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I know gnupg-2.0.7 is stable in the current portage, so I am curious |
| 8 |
about this downgrade of gnupg. After searching this thread, inspired by |
| 9 |
the post by Neil Bothwick(Dec 16, 2007), I know that I can use the |
| 10 |
option --tree to check the dependency. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
emerge -puDN --tree world |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The above command reported: |
| 15 |
1.) squirrelmail-2.4.10a-r2 requires gnupg-1.4.7-r1 |
| 16 |
2.) gpgme and so on require gnupg-2.0.7 |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Neil Bothwick said we could install these two versions of gnupg |
| 19 |
simultaneously, but in the immediate following post, Nago Toro said |
| 20 |
"No". So I checked the ebuild of gnupg, then I agree with Nago Toro. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Searching the gentoo forum( forums.gnetoo.org), I found the following |
| 23 |
bugzilla post is usefull. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |

| 26 |
|

According to this bug report, I know that squirrelmail-1.4.10a-r2 can't |
| 28 |
work with gnupg version 2. So the ebuild maintainer of squirrelmail set |
| 29 |
version 1 as a dependency. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Analyzing the ebuild of squirrelmail-1.4.10a-r2, I know that the |
| 32 |
dependency is only requirred by USE flag "crypt". So I diable this flag |
| 33 |
in my local portage config file /etc/portage/package.use. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
After doing this, I can update my system without getting gnupg back to |
| 36 |
version 1 now. As a matter of fact, it's impossible to update without |
| 37 |
doing this change. Even you can afford downgrading gnupg, the other |
| 38 |
package e.g. gpgme, still requirre you install version 2 of gnupg. It's |
| 39 |
unresolved unless you decides discarding one! |

|
| 41 |
Does anyone has better solution? |
