Description Billy DeVincentis 2008-06-16 11:29:04 UTC
Although some of those postgresql packages are still masked, they will not be upgradable because of dependencies by kexi to the older postgresql packages.

Reproducible: Always

The <dev-libs/libpqxx-2.6.9 is left over from an older Kexi version I think. Adjusted the dependency.

Carsten, You might have adjusted the dependencies of libpqxx but you didn't change them for libpq, see below after today's sync. Still not able to upgrade.

app-office/kexi-1.6.3 (postgres? =dev-libs/libpqxx-2.6*)
Comment 3 Theo Chatzimichos (RETIRED) archtester gentoo-dev Security 2009-02-11 14:20:05 UTC
postgresql packages aren't masked any more so i don't think any more adjustments in the deps of kexi are needed. Please change resolution as FIXED, or give more information on how to reproduce
Comment 4 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-02-11 16:30:30 UTC
This hasn't anything to do with masking, but with not breaking the stable tree. When trying to get a newer library version stable, all latest stable ebuild:slot combinations depending on it have to work with it.

Regarding KDE this means, that the monolithic koffice ebuild needs to be masked the latest media-gfx/showimg ebuild revision has to stable and the branch snapshot of the split koffice ebuilds - together with libpqxx-2.6.9.

Given the history of breakages and lax dependency specifications in ebuilds etc. pp., there's a good chance, we break stable tree. Please trying to do such a mess. Check what you do beforehand.
