Libssh is available at three versions: 0.1, 0.11 and 0.2 Where 0.1 is the oldest and 0.2 is the newest version. When you have version 0.2 installed and do an "emerge --update world", then emerge will try to "upgrade" libssh-0.2 -> libssh-0.11, which is acutally a downgrade (see: http://0xbadc0de.be/wiki/libssh:libssh) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Unmask libssh-0.2 2. emerge =net-libs/libssh-0.2 3. emerge -u libssh Actual Results: Installs version 0.11 Expected Results: Installs nothing :-) Would it be possible to turn libssh-0.11 into libssh-0.1.1 (which it acutally is)?
Of course - rename the ebuild and use versionator to do its job. Do you still want the 0.11 version removed?

It would be ok for _me_ to remove the old version (since i want to develop a new application that uses libssh). But it might be a problem for other people to remove 0.11, because 0.2 and 0.11 seem to be incompatible (quote from homepage: "The list of changes are very numerous, the API was modified for better design, ..." I don't know if there are any apps that need 0.11, but if so there would be a problem. Maybe a sollted installation of both libs would be a good solution?
only dep is net-analyzer/hydra so if that app works, it should be good to go. So give it a shot and report back please

(In reply to comment #3) > only dep is net-analyzer/hydra so if that app works, it should be good to go. net-mon, hydra does not work as it rquires 0.11. Period. So either don't stable libssh-0.2 or make a hard-dep on 0.11.
No reaction from maintainers and stabilising 0.2 when only reverse dependency wants 0.11 is just useless. removing arches and closing.
