Bug 151381 – pygtk-0.6.11 blocks pygobject

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Aidan Thornton 2006-10-14 12:19:11 UTC]

dev-python/pygobject-2.12.2 is blocked by <dev-python/pygtk-2.9. This means that any ~x86 user with both software requiring the older version of dev-python/pygtk-0.6.11-r1 (which I believe is GTK1) and software requiring pygobject (which uses the newer dev-python/pygtk-2.10.3, which is in a different SLOT to 0.6.11-r1) can no longer run "emerge -uDav world". I assume this is unintentional.

No, that's perfectly intentional. Otherwise you'll get collisions.

[Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-10-14 13:21:51 UTC]

Eh, scratch the above, missed the slot stuff (plus the blocker doesn't work properly w/ portage-2.1.2 anyway (Bug 150879)

*** Bug 151447 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Hmm, this didn't move much... :) Oh well, a sucky patch but the only solution until portage supports ranged deps (Bug 4315). Or we can just WONTFIX this. :)

<dev-python/pygtk-2 package.masked for gnome-1 removal, together with stuff that depends on it. 

Not much of an issue any longer, closing.
