Amarok with postgresql 8.2.7 on amd64

[kingfame_147]

Hi,

yesterday i decided to unmask postgresql-8.2.7 because i needed a 8.2 version.

After updating postgresql amarok didn't start because of an libpq.so error. Thats ok, because amarok links vs. the old libpq. But if i want to remerge amarok now i looks like that:

2 questions:

Do you need amarok to use postgre?

What do you need the old libpq for?

1) I want amarok to use postgresql for my collection. So yes, i need it.

2) i dont need the old libpq, but if i emerge amarok now (after the upgrade of postgresql) emerge also want's to install that old libpq.


The strange thing is that BEFORE the update the old libpq wasn't installed.

I found the problem:


i didn't umasked "virtual/postgresql-base". But a packaged needed that package and therefore as a dep. "virtual/postgresql-base" wanted that old libpq package.


Thanks for your help.
