Having troubles with mod_php and expat

Fri Sep 23 14:20:07 PDT 2005

Thanks to Clement for getting me on the right track.  I feel foolish,
but that isn't uncommon ;).  It just takes that one bit of insight,
doesn't it?  The problem *really is* with the sugarcrm port.  It should
have a dependency listed for php4-xml, which it currently does not:

sugarcrm-2.5.1b_1
     A web based customer relationship management suite
     Maintained by: nick at foobar.org
     Also listed in: www
     Requires: apache-1.3.33_2, expat-1.95.8_3, fontconfig-2.2.3,1,
freetype2-2.1.10_1, jpeg-6b_3, mysql-client-4.1.14, perl-5.8.7,
php4-4.4.0, php4-gd-4.4.0, php4-mysql-4.4.0, php4-pcre-4.4.0,
php4-session-4.4.0, pkgconfig-0.17.2, png-1.2.8_2, t1lib-5.1.0,1,
xorg-libraries-6.8.2

I have forwarded the request to Nick Hilliard so I hope that it should
be corrected shortly and help avoid this pain for the next person.

Many thanks for your assistance.

Cheers.
