output with portage-9999

portage 2.2.0 and portage nightly (commit: a500fbdae1098424e64356f8a24ac3c25bbff908) fail to calculate the required changes in package.use and instead prints a huge mass of conflicting dependencies (see logs). portage 2.1.12.2 prints a correct set of USE changes.

I removed all dependency use changes from package.use and let portage recalculate them, to remove unneeded. With the recent version of portage it was not possible to get these automaticaly. As far as I can see the biggest problems are the abi_x86_32 changes required by the
    app-emulation/emul-linux-x86* abi_x86_32
statement.

The logs are created by running
   emerge --update --newuse --deep --backtrack=30 @world
with the different portage versions

Comment 3 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2013-08-19 20:44:02 UTC
Can you do a git-bisect to determine which change triggers this behavior?

You can run portage from a git checkout if you set PATH and PYTHONPATH as described here:

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/portage/doc/testing.xml#doc_chap3
Comment 4 Hendrik v. Raven 2013-08-20 09:49:30 UTC
I will run the bisect, and post the result

    depgraph: fix installed/newuse logic more

    The matched_pkgs_ignore_use logic, introduced in commit
    dc8d70479dfb54a1f2561ba3fe82d7a62d97964f, is questionable because we
    need to ensure that an installed package can be selected if there are
    no other available packages that match a given USE-dep.

Comment 6 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2013-08-20 11:11:57 UTC
Okay, thanks for that. I'll see about creating a test case to reproduce the issue, and a patch to fix it.
Comment 7 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2013-08-22 00:52:54 UTC
I made this test case that produces a similar conflict to the one that you've reported:

http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=fedb39bc9a2a9fd3ab37a08096cda6824c93b02a

Unfortunately, the conflict is not solved even when using a checkout of the code prior to commit f74f301e869b3cac9060a1f35b89df673805c08a.

It looks like we need to add code to make the SLOT-conflict handling interact with autounmask.
Comment 8 Hendrik v. Raven 2013-08-22 09:28:09 UTC
I tried to solve all the conflicts by downgrading to stable portage (2.1.12.2) and let it create the USE changes via autounmask. It took me several runs (like 5, didn't count exactly) of emerge -avuND world && dispatch-conf, because there were always new use changes.

However the list is still not complete, it seems to ignore some packages, which should be catched by --newuse, but are not. Example is texlive-core. I have texlive[xetex], but removed the required texlive-core[xetex] USE change. In my oppinion that should get triggered by --newuse, but it doesn't apear in the rebuild list. If i run emerge -av1 texlive-core it results in the same stack trace like in 2.2.0.

I'm not completly sure, why it's triggered with 2.2.0, but may it be, that that's a bug in the dependency caculation in 2.1.12.0, which covers the unmask bug in the old version?

That sounds like essentially the same issue as bug #350230. If rebuilding the package with new USE settings will trigger a conflict, then it tends to use the installed package instead. We may be able to handle this better by coupling the conflict handler with autounmask.

The code changed in this commit causes the depgraph to choose the installed package more often, which can affect the success/failure of backtracking:
