Recently when doing and emerge -uD world, the package dev-lang/R will want to be upgraded to 2.2.1-r1 and then after a later emerge --sync it will want to be downgraded again. This has happened several times, so I imagine there's a circular dependency of some sort. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge --sync 2.emerge -uD world 3. Actual Results: It wishes to either upgrade to R-2.2.1-r1 or downgrade to R-2.2.1 depending on which is presently installed Expected Results: Not constantly cycle between the two versions of R
Post the actual emerge output both on upgrade and downgrade. Cannot help without any information available, sorry.
What happens is that if I type in emerge -uDp world it says: [ebuild U ] dev-lang/R-2.2.1-r1 [2.2.1] Later, after emerging this, and, I think, emerge --synch'ing, I get this when I emerge -uDp world. [ebuild U ] dev-lang/R-2.2.1 [2.2.1-r1] Is this what you were looking for? Alex
No, not really. We need to know which package is causing this and you didn't post any context whatsoever.
