Description Wilbur Pan 2004-01-14 16:46:06 UTC 
I am using kde-3.2.0_beta2.  I've started to use alsa 1.0+, but when I emerge -u world, portage wants to downgrade to alsa-lib 0.9.8.  It appears that this is coming from the kdemultimedia-3.2.0_beta2 ebuild:

DEPEND="[snip] alsa? ( <=media-libs/alsa-lib-0.9.8 )

KDE 3.2.0_beta2 seems to work well with the various release candidates and stable versions of alsa-1.0 and alsa 1.0.1, and with the most recent versions of gentoo-dev-sources, which uses the alsa-1.0.0_rc2 patch, and mm-sources, which has the alsa-1.0.1 patch.

I fixed this by manually changing the DEPEND to want alsa-lib>= 0.9.8

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install kdemultimedia-3.2.0_beta2
2. Install alsa-lib and alsa-utils-1.0+
3. emerge-up world
Actual Results:  
portage wants to downgrade alsa-lib to 0.9.8

Expected Results:  
Leave alsa-lib alone
