It works for me. Can you give me a better bug report? What version of Portage are you using? What exactly do you mean by "it doesn't work?" What isn't working?
sys-apps/portage-2.0.11 Portage does not recognize a dependancy without an equals sign after a dependancy with an equals sign. The example explains all the 'testing' I have done. Notice, the only change between the two is me moving one dependancy above others. I'll give a better example but not a real one below. In this case, group/baz will not be shown by portage as a dependancy. group/foo =group/bar group/baz In this case, group/baz WILL be shown... group/foo group/bar =group/baz If you want to recreate the error, use the 'DOES NOT WORK' DEPEND list. 1) emerge -C docbook-dsssl-stylesheets 2) emerge -p docbook-sgml-utils Notice how docbook-dsssl-stylesheets isn't in the list? Myself and many others have. Now, move docbook-dsssl-stylesheets above the dependancies with an = 1) emerge -p docbook-sgml-utils Now it's in there. What do ya know? Broken dependany parsing.
Try this with Portage 2.0.22 when released; much of this code has been rewritten and this problem should no longer exist (I was never able to reproduce it)
