[ebuild     UD] x11-libs/gtk+-2.2.4-r1 [2.4.0]

I get that after upgrading to GTK+2.4. Then when I do the downgrade, it wants to upgrade back to gtk2.4. It is a vicious cycle.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
Should stay at 2.4.

something on your system wants gtk+-<2.4 for some reason. But it's not an app
that i know of.

Okay, I am not sure if this is the only offending ebuild, but tilp-6.68-r1 (and
all the previous ones) have a depend line of "=gtk+-2.2" which causes this
behavior.  tilp will not compile with gtk+-2.4 unless we do the
-DGTK_DEPRECATED magic.  
@foser: should I assign this to app-sci for them to fix the ebuild, and then we
can make a patch, or ?

they should make the patch and not have such questionable deps.

Silently fixing in -r1, -r2 will come soon when another issue with this one is
resolved. Thanks for the hint.
