Re: [gentoo-user] Postfix Question
It's kinda difficult to help with this, without knowing what the A- Plus server is seeing. An unsanitised copy of the bounce message would probably show the problem. Does it definitely show the correct email address of a user for which A-Plus has a mailbox? Can you reproduce the problem telnetting to the A-Plus MX server on port 25? http://www.yuki-onna.co.uk/email/smtp.html http://www.simplescripts.de/smtp-check-port-25-telnet-command.htm Stroller On 10 Apr 2008, at 19:44, Jason Messerschmitt wrote: I guess I'll dip my toes in here and admit that I can't figure this out. Synopsis: I've setup Postfix to be a mail out only smtp server. I just want it for our Joomla based web pages and our helpdesk to be able to mail to users from the local server. The problem is this: I can mail to any domain (gmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc) without problem, but I can't receive mail directly through our A-plus based mail (the worst!). What happens is that A-plus' server rejects the user as unkown even though I know it is correct. What really gets my goat is that after that message is returned to my server it is then delivered to the A-plus server and thusly shows up in my webmail and email client. Below are my configs.

Hi, I just wan't to know, why software such as amarok don't go way, like winamp - more formats available for playing because of plugins?

If you read the ebuild you see what is actually going on with the blocks, and the output could indeed be ambiguous. "blocks" is 6 letters.

So let's be more specific:

--- Couldn't find '=dev-util/gtk-doc-am-1.10' to unmerge.
emerge -C gtk-doc
Look closely at the error message, it's like one of those optical
illusions where you don't quite get it first time :-)
Well said. I'm still not sure I get it. I would have went to
console and unmerged the whole lot and started over. LOL
hehe, emerge's output can be tricky to parse. Here's the long version:
In this line:
[blocks B ] dev-util/gtk-doc-am (is blocking
dev-util/gtk-doc-1.8-r2)
everything there comes out of the gtk-doc-am ebuild, including what it's
not happy with. This specific case says that gtk-doc-1.8-r2 is already
installed and gtk-doc-am will not merge itself while it's there.
The [blocks B ] bit says that gtk-doc-am is not already installed
(there isn't an R or U or D there at all) so there is nothing to
unmerge.
Usually with blockers, you have to unmerge the thing being blocked (in
brackets on the above line) first. Or, if you don't want that, don't
merge the main package, or mask it out.
The correct merge approach would be to build a suitable upgraded
gtk-doc, merge it (which unmerges the old one) and then merge
gtk-doc-am (on the assumption that gtk-doc-am is happy with the new
version of gtk-doc). For some reason portage can't do that this time,
probably build order, so it's telling the user to do it manually and
try again.
If you want to look deeper into what is going on, the solution is in the
ebuild. From /var/portage/dev-util/gtk-doc-am/gtk-doc-am-1.10.ebuild:
DEPEND="!<=dev-utils/gtk-doc-1.10"
Aha, so the only current version that will work is gtk-doc-1.10-r1. This
was probably revised to accomodate gtk-doc-am.
It gets even better.
From /var/portage/dev-util/gtk-doc/gtk-doc-1.8-r2.ebuild:
DEPEND="!dev-util/gtk-doc-am"
and from /var/portage/dev-util/gtk-doc/gtk-doc-1.10-r1.ebuild:
DEPEND="=dev-util/gtk-doc-am-${PV}
Now it all becomes clearer with a little reading between the lines. The
dev took gtk-doc and split it into two packages, to get the automake
(-am) stuff into it's own ebuild. But that will mean that gtk-doc-am
will trash files that gtk-doc put there. This is a collision and
portage won't do it. It's written to pass the buck to a human
instead :-)
It appears this human is a bit dense. I !think! I get it but not real
sure. May have to read that a few more times. Sounds like the clue is
the missing U and D part.

No, that's incorrect. I think you are attaching an incorrect meaning to the output wording. In this case, A's ebuild DEPENDs on !B The error output has to come from A's ebuild as that is where the block comes from, and the standard wording is "A blocks B" as in: A's ebuild says it cannot be merged if B is already there. B does not block A as B's ebuild did not know about A when it was written. B does nto have a problem with A, instead A knows it has a problem with B.

Emerge clearly said that gtk-doc-am blocked gtk-doc, not the other way round. Uh, well...

yes it is! equery just told you so!

yes, the ebuild exists, but it's not installed! Therefore equery didn't
show it to you.

I think it just means gtk-doc-am wants a newer gtk-doc, so it's blocking
the one you have installed. You need to uninstall gtk-doc, and then you
can install a newer gtk-doc and gtk-doc-am.

Exactly, from gtk-doc-am's ebuild we get:
DEPEND="${RDEPEND}
!<=dev-utils/gtk-doc-1.10"
That seems gtk-doc-am can't be installed if gtk-doc is older than version
gtk-doc-1.0 and you seem to be working with gtk-doc-1.8-r2. As Iain
Buchanan said, uninstall gtk-doc and run everything, that should work.
