• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Kir Kolyshkin 2006-10-27 00:37:43 UTC]

emerge --update -av world wants to downgrade cairo. subsequent call wants to upgrade cairo. and so on in an infinite loop.

Let me illustrate:
kir@note ~ $ sudo emerge --update -av --oneshot cairo 

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U ] x11-libs/cairo-1.2.4 [1.0.4-r1] USE="X glitz pdf%* png svg%* -directfb% -doc" 0 kB 
.......
kir@note ~ $ sudo emerge --update -av --oneshot cairo pycairo

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
