Description Rance Hall 2003-08-07 10:37:04 UTC
I have a brand new gentoo install, running X and kde and thats it.

I ran "emerge mrproject" and that installed all the gnome dependencies and
everything seemed fine untill the final step of actually compiling the mrproject
code.

configuring mrproject code failed becuase the wrong version of libmrproject was
installed.

emerge libmrproject installs libmrproject version 9.0 but mrproject wants
version 6.0 and fails due to dependenies not being met.

to fix this, I had to emerge unmerge libmrproject, and then emerge
libmrproject-6.0. then emerge mrproject worked.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.start with a fresh install with no libmrproject or mrproject
2.emerge mrproject and let dependencies auto emerge
3.notice the version of libmrproject that is installed and the failure of
mrproject at the config step.

Actual Results:  
I had to unmerge libmrproject and them emerge the 6.0 version

Expected Results:  
I expected the dependency checking to install the correct versions of the
depended upon packages.
