Description Eugene Shalygin 2014-12-10 16:51:10 UTC

Many KDE4 packages already have their :5 versions in the kde overaly. However, some other packages depend on them without slot part. For example, solid-runtime depends on net-wireless/bluedevil. Another example is kde-misc/kscreen and kde-base/systemsettings. I try KDE5 time to time, but every time (so far) I returned to KDE4. Right now this requires masking/unmasking KDE5 packages. It would be much simplier if my meta packages, which use other KDE packages, just pull required dependencies automatically when switching versions. 

Reproducible: Always

Where any package is slotted, it's definitely a bug when consuming packages do not specify the correct slot.

Revdeps of bluedevil and kscreen are now fixed - thanks. Please feel free to let us know if you run into any further missing slot issues.

Comment 2 Eugene Shalygin 2014-12-11 17:32:25 UTC

This is funny: =net-wireless/bluedevil-2.0 has an unslotted dependency on net-libs/libbluedevil

Sorry, I've missed this in the original report
