Running emerge --depclean wants to remove pysqlite and after removing it running emerge @world -uDN wants to emerge it back. And after re-emerging it emerge --depclean wants to remove it again. Only package that is depending on pysqlite is sqlalchemy: # equery d pysqlite * These packages depend on pysqlite: dev-python/sqlalchemy-0.6.7 (sqlite ? dev-python/pysqlite) (test ? dev-python/pysqlite) And the dependency line from sqlalchemy is || ( >=dev-lang/python-2.5[sqlite] dev-python/pysqlite ) I have python-2.7.1-r1 installed with sqlite use flag. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =sqlalchemy-0.6.7 2. emerge --depclean 3. emerge @world -uDN Actual Results: pysqlite is removed and then emerged back. Expected Results: pysqlite is either removed by --depclean and not merged back by emerge @world -uDN or --depclean does not remove pysqlite # emerge --info Portage 2.2.0_alpha55

Can you make a tarball of /var/db/pkg/dev-lang/python-2.7.1-r1 in case we need if for later analysis, and rebuild python-2.7.1-r1 to see if that helps?

Created attachment 286299 [details] Contents of /var/db/pkg/dev-lang/python-2.7.1-r1 which python from main tree I just noticed while rebuilding python that I had python installed from sage-on-gentoo overlay. Rebuilding that did not help with the situation. Then I changed sage dependencies so that I managed to build the python from main tree. That python version didn't help either.
Please attach --pretend --debug output for the update command that pulls in pysqlite: emerge @world -uDN --pretend --debug &> debug.log
Created attachment 286353 [details] Output of emerge @world -uDN --pretend --debug &> debug.log Right after that debug command I ran this command to show that the pysqlite wants to get merged: # emerge @world -uDNp These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] dev-python/pysqlite [2.6.3] USE="-examples"
Your debug log shows that it's trying to choose python-3.1.3-r1, and then rejects it: Parent: (dev-python/sqlalchemy-0.6.7::gentoo, installed) Depstring: || ( >=dev-lang/python-2.5[sqlite] dev-python/pysqlite ) Priority: runtime installed: dev-lang/python-3.1.3-r1::gentoo ebuild: dev-python/pysqlite-2.6.3::gentoo ebuild: dev-python/pysqlite-2.6.3::gentoo Candidates: ['dev-python/pysqlite'] I suspect that this is related to the patch that triggered bug 382557: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=21330075f07248765016e104b3ba8216903f1ecb You can try reverting that patch to see if it helps. Can you please attach a tarball of the /var/db/pkg/dev-lang/python-3.1.3-r1 directory?

Actually, disregard the above patch, because python is not a virtual. Please do give us a /var/db/pkg/dev-lang/python-3.1.3-r1 tarball though.

It's probably triggered by the fact that you don't have USE=sqlite enabled for python-3.1.3-r1.
Oh yes, that might obviously be the case. But shouldn't it still be satisfied as I have python:2.7 installed with USE=sqlite? As far as I can see that should fulfil the first dependency >=dev-lang/python-2.5[sqlite].
Yes, we need to fix it to search all slots. We can use an approach similar to the one that we use for virtual slots to solve bug #141118 and bug #382557.
(In reply to comment #9) > It's probably triggered by the fact that you don't have USE=sqlite enabled for > python-3.1.3-r1. I get hit with this issue as well: portage 2.1.10.44 python 2.7.2-r3 from the sage-on-gentoo overlay, with sqlite useflag python 3.1.4-r3 from portage, without the sqlite useflag Let me know if you want more specific info.
The problem is that portage's dep_zapdeps function only matches the highest available slot for each choice of an || dependency like the one shown in comment #6: || ( >=dev-lang/python-2.5[sqlite] dev-python/pysqlite ) If python-3.x is installed with USE=-sqlite, that this causes dep_zapdeps to choose pysqlite instead of python-2*[sqlite]. Its not really easy to fix, given the way that the code currently works. However, if you experience this problem then a simple workaround is to enable USE=sqlite for python-3.x.
dev-python/pysqlite has been removed, see bug #408835. Marking as fixed.
Re-opening, since this issue could affect similarly expressed dependencies.
