qt 4 mysql conflict

[tristen]

I'm trying to re-emerge qt 4 after de-kewording and I'm running into something a bit baffling:

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

virtual/mysql:0

(virtual/mysql-5.6-r8:0/18::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
=virtual/mysql-5.6-r8[embedded?] required by (dev-perl/DBD-mysql-4.32.0-r1:0/0::gentoo, installed)
^ ^^^^^^
=virtual/mysql-5.6-r8 required by (app-office/akonadi-server-1.13.0-r2:0/0::gentoo, installed)
^ ^^^^^^
=virtual/mysql-5.6-r8[embedded=,static=] required by (dev-db/mariadb-10.1.14:0/18::gentoo, installed)
^ ^^^^^^

(virtual/mysql-5.6-r7:0/18::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
>=virtual/mysql-5.6-r2:=[abi_x86_32(-)?,abi_x86_64(-)?,abi_x86_x32(-)?,abi_mips_n32(-)?,abi_mips_n64(-)?,abi_mips_o32(-)?,abi_ppc_32(-)?,abi_ppc_64(-)?,abi_s390_32(-)?,abi_s390_64(-)?] required by (dev-qt/qtsql-4.8.6-r1:4/4::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)


Can somebody explain what the actual conflict is here? To me it looks like virtual/mysql-5.6-r8:0/18 should be compatible with >=virtual/mysql-5.6-r2:= . What am I missing here?

Try un-keywording virtual/mysql if you can

If that doesn't work, then try masking either mysql-5.6-r7 or -r8. Looking at the ebuilds, I can't figure out why it says "=virtual/mysql-5.6-r8" because those three packages don't specify a version. But I'm probably missing something.

Or just try unmerging one or both of the mysql's and see what portage pulls in automatically.

Let me know if this works

Thanks for your reply. In the end I keyworded the slot (ie, dev-qt/<name>:4) and then the conflict disappeared. Maybe it was because I had virtual/mysql keyworded as you suggest? Anyhow, now my priority is to try to salvage my failed migration to plasma 5.

Good luck! Glad it worked
