Be careful with depends!! (PHP & DB stuff)

netkrash · 2003-03-20 18:30:04

I've installed PHP-4.3.1-3 that depends on DB-4.1 the problem is that my version of DB was 4.0 so pacman asume that there was no error.

RESULT: PHP won't start, neither apache.

Solution: Refresh package database, update DB...

Best Solution: be careful with depends inside the PKGBUILD of PHP and specify the version number of the required stuff.

greets!!,

thanks for the post but in defence of the package maintainers for all trees it is not always the easiest to know exactly when specific versioned depends may be required or that a package is even a runtime depend.

i do try my best to be accurate with my depends as i am sure all maintainers do.

yeah, i know that

But sometimes i've read the PKGBUILD and says something like gcc => 2.5 or something like that in the depends,..

That's what i'm talking about..

but all the mainteiners work is great..

feel free to point out any such oldepends or missing depends. Xentac and myself take care of the unofficial and unstable tree and i know there are a few [packages that need the depends fixed or even any depends at all. i try to get to such packages when i can but if someone points them out they will be fixed much faster.:)
