trying to emerge a single issue of a linuxgazette it'll reemerge linug-gazette-113: fabio@localhost /etc $ sudo emerge --ask linux-gazette \=linux-gazette-05 Password: These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] app-doc/linux-gazette-113 [ebuild NS ] app-doc/linux-gazette-05 Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]
Hi. This is because you try to emerge not only linux-gazette-05 but also linux-gazette, which stands for the latest non-blocked version of linux-gazette in your portage tree (linux-gazette-113). Try issuing "emerge -pv =linux-gazette-05" (without the quotes).
Here's the output of "emerge -pv =linux-gazette-05" on my system: # emerge -pv =linux-gazette-05 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] app-doc/linux-gazette-base-113 1,504 kB [ebuild N ] app-doc/linux-gazette-01 1,346 kB [ebuild N ] app-doc/linux-gazette-05 0 kB Total size of downloads: 2,851 kB As you can see, linux-gazette-113 is not in the list.
Aggelos Orfanakos has it spot on
