Bugzilla Bug 1343

If I run "emerge a-1 b", and b has a dep of >=a-1, but in portage there are 
both a-1 and a-2, then: 
 
IMO what should happen is that since a-1 satisifies b's dep, and I emerge it 
anyway, only these 2 packages should be emerged. 
 
But what actually happens is that both b, a-1 and a-2 are emerged. In other 
words a package explicitly specified for emerging isn't allowed to specify 
deps in the same emerge run. 
 
Real life example: I need this to work the way I described because I'm dealing 
with two sets of KDE3 ebuilds: 3.0 (current cvs) and 3.0_rc3 (last tagged 
release). When I want to emerge the RC3 set of ebuilds, I emerge =kde-3.0_rc3 
which depends on ~{kdelibs,kdebase,...}-${PV}. However I get both 
kdelibs-3.0_rc3, kdelibs-3.0 and kdebase-3.0, with the two kdelibs overwriting 
one another.

This is preventing me from unmasking xfree-4.3.0-r6 without some extreme
hackery involving dependency checks in the pkg_setup() of xterm. It would be
nice if someone could take a look at it.

This bug can even lead to the parallel installation of blocking packages.
At least I think it can, because "emerge package -pv" states that two mutually blocking packages will be installed. I never did this without "-p".

Here is my example:

emerge xorg-x11 -pv (with USE including Xaw3d)

states that it will first emerge xorg-x11 and then xfree and some other packages including Xaw3d.

When I mask xfree in /etc/portage/package.mask portage complains that there is no ebuild that can satisfy xfree as dependancy of Xaw3d, but Xaw3d does not depend directly on xfree but on virtual/x11. It seems that portage does not recognize xorg as provider of virtual/x11 in this scenario.

For testing purposes I edited /etc/make.profile/virtuals and changed virtual/x11 from x11-base/xfree to x11-base/xorg-x11. After this the problem no longer exists and portage recognizes that xorg-x11 will be installed and is satisfied with it.

Another sceanrio I tested was not to change /etc/make.profile/virtuals but first do

emerge --nodeps xorg-x11

(I checked that all dependecies that have to be installed before xorg-x11 where installed.)

and then emerge Xaw3d. In this scenario protage recognizes that virtual/x11 is already provided by xorg-x11 and doesn't want to emerge xfree.

P.S.: I hope that this is really related to this bug and not a new bug.

In CVS. Will be included by 2.0.51.

Doesn't work for me, try `emerge -pv virtuaL/php dev-php/php`, it wants to
install mod_php because it doesn't recognize the PROVIDE from dev-php/php.

no, mod_php depends on php now

ah i see ... you're right, i missed, sorry about that

It's only half fixed. To use the initial example, assuming nothing is
installed:
"emerge =apache-1* php" won't install apache-2
"emerge php =apache-1*" will install apache-2

Using the latest ~x86 portage (sys-apps/portage-2.0.53_rc7)

pena tomcat # emerge -pvt kaffe

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

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] dev-java/gjdoc-0.7.6  0 kB [2]
[ebuild  N    ]  dev-java/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.02-r1  -doc +nsplugin 0 kB [2]
[ebuild  N    ] dev-java/kaffe-1.1.6-r2  +alsa +esd -gmp -gtk -nls 0 kB [2]

Kaffe does provide virtual/jre but the PDEPEND on gjdoc makes it pull the
default provider too. It would be great to have some resolution to this to for
example 2.0.54. Maybe this should be added to the list of targeted things.

Re: bug #149654

ekiga doesn't really depend on dev-libs/pwlib-1.10.1, because it works just
fine with dev-libs/pwlib-1.10.2, at least for me.

Perhaps we should mark ekiga as depending on >=dev-libs/pwlib-1.10.1 just as
opal does, and see if it causes any kind of havoc.

I got here from dup bug 269519, 
while updating world i get:

tried to oneshot bluz, but no go. 

can anyone point me in the right direction?

It may be that the dependencies of gvfs-1.0.3-r2 or obexftp-0.22 need to be
updated in order to pull in bluez instead of bluez-libs. If that's not the
case, then try masking net-wireless/bluez-libs in /etc/portage/package.mask.

Indeed updating the pakcages helped. i needed to unmask a bunch of packages 
(see below), but i can now complete the world update. 

Thanks Zac!
