When trying to emerge sci-mathematics/octave-forge-linear-algebra-1.0.8 from the science overlay the dependency >sci-mathematics/octave-3.1.54 is only detected at emerge time, i.e. apparently not set correctly in the ebuild (actually from what I can tell with my limited experience, no dependencies are set at all, except for whatever comes from "INHERIT octave-forge"). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. unmask the relevant packages 2. emerge octave-forge-linear-algebra Actual Results: error: the following dependencies where unsatisfied: linear-algebra needs octave > 3.1.54 I'm using the science overlay because the current version of octave-forge in portage wants to pull in octave-2.1.73 which in turn fails to compile. Unmasking and emerging octave-3.2.3 fixes the problem.
fixed. thanks
