Bug 130372 – emerge wants to downgrade enlightenment from 16.8.1 to 16.8

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description John 2006-04-18 09:22:19 UTC]

using emerge -aDuv world:
# emerge -aDuv world

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

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild     UD] x11-wm/enlightenment-0.16.8 [0.16.8.1] -doc -esd +nls -xinerama -xrandr 0 kB 

Total size of downloads: 0 kB

using emerge -av enlightenment:
# emerge -av enlightenment

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

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] x11-wm/enlightenment-0.16.8.1  -doc -esd +nls -xinerama -xrandr 0 kB 

and emerge -auv world returns no packages to upgrade as expected.

There is probably a package in your world-file, which is forcing (DEPEND/RDEPEND'ing) on <x11-wm/enlightenment-0.16.8.1.

The output of 'emerge -puvtD world' would be very useful.

[Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-04-18 10:17:18 UTC]

We need to know what depends on the lower version, see the comment above. Putting <x11-wm/enlightenment-0.16.8.1 into /etc/portage/package.mask should tell you.

[Comment 3 John 2006-04-18 11:25:58 UTC]

# emerge -puvtD world

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

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[nomerge      ] x11-plugins/epplets-0.7-r1  
[ebuild     UD]  x11-wm/enlightenment-0.16.8 [0.16.8.1] -doc -esd +nls -xinerama -xrandr 0 kB

I forgot about tree, apologies for the oversight.  epplets is the dependant.  They work with 16.8.1 however. Should I file a new bug report or is there another reason for the dependance on 16.8?

[Comment 4 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-04-18 11:49:01 UTC]

Well, there's actually no bug here. enlightenment-0.16.8.1 is ~arch, epplets-0.7-r1 is stable. You need to put x11-plugins/epplets into /etc/portage/package.keywords to prevent the downgrade - 0.9 has no such restriction. 

Closing, not a bug.
