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?
