The ebuilds for gnome-control-center and gvfs both cause problems for paludis users who also use samba with client/smbclient use flags The issues seem to stem from the change in use flag name between the 3.4 and 4.0 branches. Both ebuilds try to deal with samba in the same way with: samba?

( || ( >=net-fs/samba-4[client] >=net-fs/samba-3.4.6[smbclient] ) ) Then paludis is happy. It seems like its a problem that could be fixed.
CCing paludis maintainers :/
Are you still hitting this issue?
still the same issues: net-fs/samba-4.2.11:0::gentoo Did not meet >=net-fs/samba-3.4.6[smbclient], use existing if same metadata, installing to / from gnome-base/gvfs-1.28.2:0::gentoo Flag 'smbclient' enabled Did not meet >=net-fs/samba-3.6.14-r1[smbclient], use existing if same metadata, installing to / from gnome-base/gnome-control-center-3.20.1:2::gentoo Flag 'smbclient' enabled the problem is the change in useflag from smbclient to client. Because of this paludis wants to downgrade samba
@pms, how should we write that dep then?
I work around by switching the order but that is not a solution. I don't really know ebuild writing but is there a way to rewrite as an if then else or a more formal switch?
For a start, you should have (-) in USE deps. It is enough to use USE deps that are not satisfied by all ebuilds without explicit defaults.
samba? ( || ( >=net-fs/samba-3.4.6[smbclient-] >=net-fs/samba-4[client] ) ) fixes the issue for me but: samba? ( || ( >=net-fs/samba-3.4.6[smbclient-] >=net-fs/samba-4[client-] ) ) does not. I don't have a way to easily test the effect of samba? ( || ( >=net-fs/samba-3.4.6[smbclient-] >=net-fs/samba-4[client] ) ) on machine with samba:3
(In reply to Harris Landgarten from comment #7) > >=net-fs/samba-3.4.6[smbclient-] You need parenthesis in there, like this: >=net-fs/samba-3.4.6[smbclient(-)]. Maybe >=net-fs/samba-4[client(-)] should go on the left side, since the smbclient flag has been replaced with the client flag in the latest stable version of samba.
Oh, since samba-4 is being stabilized we can probably force samba-4 alone instead of relying on each resolver behaving different when resolving the || () dependencies :S
Not a PMS problem, therefore removing pms-bugs from CC.
samba? ( || ( >=net-fs/samba-3.4.6[smbclient(-)] >=net-fs/samba-4[client(-)] ) ) still causing paludis to try to downgrade samba. Would be good if we are eliminate the differing ways that the any of construct is resolved by differing PMs which could involve a stricter definition in PMS docs. This is an end case but could be a good test case.

Please restore the || behavior. At least, it is not consistent with gnome-control-center, and I do not want samba 4 on my systems yet.
