I think there's something wrong here. Two examples will clarify but they may be separate issues: 1) dbus-0.62 has separate useflags "qt3" and "qt4" With just qt3 useflag specified for dbus portage wants to emerge qt-4.x 2) sun-jdk-1.4.2.12 has a DEPEND of >=dev-java/java-config-1.1.5 portage wants to emerge both java-config-1.3.0-r2 and java-config-2.0.26 For both of these cases you can't mask unwanted versions in /etc/portage/package.mask, portage insists that they are required.
Please use the --debug flag with an example case and attach the output. Also please provide `emerge --info` output.

Created attachment 90608 [details] Output from emerge --search java-config/emerge --unmerge java-config I had both java-config-1.3.0-r2 and java-config-2.0.26 on my system. emerge --unmerge java-config removed both of them. Is this new/correct behaviour for portage?
Created attachment 90609 [details] Output from emerge --debug --pretend --verbose --update --deep world This is the output from a debug/pretend update of world. As you can see, both versions of java-config are being pulled-in. Incidentally, an equery --depends =java-config-1.3.0-r2 and equery --depends =java-config-2.0.26 both return an empty result. Is that correct given dev-java/sun-jdk's DEPEND on >=java-config-1.1.5?

Parent: ebuild / dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.2.12 nomerge Depstring: >=dev-java/java-config-1.1.5 ... =dev-java/java-config-2.0* =dev-java/java-config-1.3* ... sun-jdk is pulling them both in. > Incidentally, an equery --depends =java-config-1.3.0-r2 and equery --depends > =java-config-2.0.26 both return an empty result. Is that correct given > dev-java/sun-jdk's DEPEND on >=java-config-1.1.5? I personally don't have a clue about equery. It appears to be either giving you incorrect results or you're not using the correct switches. With your dbus-0.62 case, is x11-libs/qt listed in /var/lib/portage/world? If so, bringing in qt4 would also be correct behaviour. If not, can you add the --debug output for that case too please?
