Bugzilla Bug 175895

When the cisco use flag is set, kvpnc depends on
>=net-misc/vpnc-0.3.4_pre20061029 <=net-misc/vpnc-0.4
However, this does not work with portage as I get this message:

Calculating world dependencies |
!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been
!!! pulled into the dependency graph:

('ebuild', '/', 'net-misc/vpnc-0.3.3-r1', 'merge') pulled in by

In bug#172778 I've provided an ebuild which has IMHO the correct dependencies:
  cisco? (      >=net-misc/vpnc-0.3.4_pre20061029 <=net-misc/vpnc-0.4 )
instead of:
  cisco? ( >=net-misc/vpnc-0.4.0 <=net-misc/vpnc-0.4 )

For net-misc/kvpnc-0.8.8 we should prevent net-misc/vpnc-0.4 from being merged,
because the syntax used there isn't compatible with the current kvpnc.
I don't understand, why the currently used dependencies were specified, because
IMHO they don't make any sense because now net-misc/vpnc-0.4.0-r* is available,
what makes net-misc/kvpnc-0.8.8-r1 pulling in net-misc/vpnc-0.4.0-r2.

Please change the dependencies back to the one suggested above as in bug#172778

The currently specified dependencies are obviously totally wrong (see also
bug#172743

No, actualy the dependencies in the ebuild in portage are exactly the ones in
your ebuild. But now I realised that actualy the problem is that the ebuilds
for vpnc-0.3.4_preXXXXXX are not in portage, the only versions available are:
0.3.3-r1 0.4.0 ~0.4.0-r1 ~0.4.0-r2

You're right.
But where has the 0.3.4_preXX ebuild gone? Removal wasn't mentioned in
ChangeLog.
Using ">=net-misc/vpnc-0.3.3-r1 <net-misc/vpnc-0.4" as dependency should solve
this.
It would cause a downgrade to 0.3.3 for people already using 0.3.4_preXX, but I
think this would be much better than having a non-working kvpnc ;-)

They were removed by hanno, I belive by accident:
http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/net-misc/vpnc/vpnc-0.3.4_pre20061219.ebuild?hideattic=0&rev=1.4&view=log

If there was a good reson in the first place to depend on the prerelease
versions instead of anything older then 0.4 then maybe they should be added
back.

fixed in 0.8.8-r2,
thanks.
