Having alsa-headers-1.0.8, when I do a 1st "emerge -DuvaN" the result is : [ebuild U ] media-sound/alsa-headers-1.0.9b [1.0.8] 0 kB but if I do another "emerge -DuvaN", the result is : [ebuild UD] media-sound/alsa-headers-1.0.8 [1.0.9b] 0 kB result of a "equery d media-sound/alsa-headers" [ Searching for packages depending on media-sound/alsa-headers... ] media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.8 media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.8 The problem seems to be that media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.8 has a RDEPEND with >= on alsa-headers (and alsa-headers-1.0.9b is ok for this) but media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.8 has a RDEPEND with ~ on alsa-headers. So editing 1 of them to suit results in a "good" behaviour PS: sorry if the summary is not clear but can't find a way to express the problem in few words Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -DuvaN world 2. emerge -DuvaN world 3.

Is this still an issue?
Shouldn't be since we're now at 1.0.10 for everything, except alsa-drivers with no stable keyword since we prefer kernel builtin drivers anyway.
