sys-apps/portage-2.2.0_alpha186 rebuilds packages that cannot be updated because the current version is needed as a dependency. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge -uNDav world 2. 3. Actual Results: In this case dev-util/mdds-0.8.1 always gets rebuilt (for no particular reason) as the upgrade to dev-util/mdds-0.9.0 cannot be installed as libreoffice depends on dev-util/mdds-0.8.1. Expected Results: dev-util/mdds-0.8.1 should not get remerged every single time
This sounds very similar to bug 439688. Does it show a red "r" next to dev-util/mdds-0.8.1 in the left column of the displayed merge list? This would confirm that the sub-slot/slot-operator code is triggering the rebuild.

Please test if masking the update makes any difference, like this: echo ">=dev-util/mdds-0.9.0" >> /etc/portage/package.mask If that doesn't help, you can also try without -N/--newuse to see if that makes any difference. The yellow 'R' suggests that the problem may be related to USE or IUSE. Please post the IUSE and USE values obtained as follows: cat /var/db/pkg/dev-util/mdds-0.8.1/{IUSE,USE}
Also, please attach a debug log which reproduces the problem as follows: emerge -uNDpv world --debug > debug.log 2>&1

It looks like dev-libs/liborcus-0.5.1 needs to be rebuilt, since it was built against mdds-0.9.0. Maybe the problem will disappear if you rebuild it manually: emerge --oneshot =dev-libs/liborcus-0.5.1

But portage should have notified that this needed rebuilding - no clue was ever provided, even revdep-rebuild turned up nothing.

In the absence of anything else, should preserved libs not have detected it when mdds was downgraded from 0.9.0 to 0.8.1?
(In reply to Graham Murray from comment #10) > In the absence of anything else, should preserved libs not have detected it > when mdds was downgraded from 0.9.0 to 0.8.1? Well, liborcus-0.5.1 lists mdds in DEPEND and not RDEPEND, suggesting that it's a build-time only dep. Also, I've got mdds-0.7.1 here, and it doesn't appear to install any shared libraries.

(In reply to Guy from comment #12) Your issue looks different, because it's pulling in upgrades (not trying to rebuild the same package). Please file a new bug.

Please file a new bug. Um .. I also meant to point out that in both my noted cases, the procedure followed was to unmerge the previous versions {because of blocking}, attempt to emerge the new versions {fail}, then re-emerge the old versions {sucessfully}. Do you still want me to post a new bug?

The problem is that in trying to solve the slot conflict between mdds-0.8.1 and mdds-0.9.0, it tries to temporarily mask the installed mdds-0.8.1 instance and doesn't revert that mask when it later tries to temporarily mask the conflicting mdds-0.9.0 ebuild. So, we need it to recognize when a one temporary mask invalidates another, and revert the other mask.
It seems bug still exists in Portage 2.3.76 emerge -vau1t --backtrack=30 `qlist -IC` [ebuild R ] dev-libs/re2-0.2018.10.01:0/gentoo-2017-03-01::gentoo USE="-icu" 0 KiB dev-libs/re2:0 (dev-libs/re2-0.2019.09.01:0/gentoo-2019-01-01::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) conflicts with >=dev-libs/re2-0.2016.11.01:0/gentoo-2017-03-01= required by (www-client/chromium-77.0.3865.75:0/0::x-portage, installed)
emerge command is incomplete. It is caused by "--exclude chromium".
