Bug 136318 – problem with new openal version number

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Bartosz Krzeszewski 2006-06-10 13:14:35 UTC]

A lot of ebuilds have in DEPEND section media-libs/openal-<old version number> and new version number is recognized as older. Because of that the old version of openal is installed which blocks freealut. Solution for this is to remove version number of openal in DEPEND section of the ebuild (new openal will be used).

I have problems with these ebuilds:
(In these examples I masked >media-libs/openal-20000101 to check witch packages depend on old version numbered openal)

emerge -upvD world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

# This version of openal uses an external version of alut, as it is no longer
# bundled, bringing Linux more in line with other operating systems.  What this
# means is that this version of openal and alut need to remain masked until all
# packages that use alut are fixed for the split libraries.
