Bug 561554 – media-video/nvidia-settings-355.11 depends on mismatched version of x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description N. Andrew Walsh 2015-09-26 09:46:23 UTC]

I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but nvidia-settings-355.11 has the following RDEPEND:
RDEPEND="${COMMON_DEPEND}
        x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers:0/340"

So, even though nvidia-drivers with a :0/350 meta exists (and is installed on my system), nvidia-settings is forcing a downgrade. Was this intentional? Is nvidia-settings supposed to force a downgrade to a lower-than-matching version? Or is that an error in the ebuild (since the :0/340 version seems to have been added to all of the nvidia-settings ebuilds)?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge nvidia-drivers-355.*
2. try to emerge nvidia-settings-355.*
3. fail
Actual Results:  
humiliation and emo tears

Expected Results:  
matching versions between -drivers and -settings?

I can confirm that. Exact same thing here. Also, I doubt it is intentional, since also the ebuild for nvidia-settings-355.11 has an RDEPEND on nvidia-drivers:0/340 rather than 0/350.

also seeing this, with the added twist that upgrading gentoo settings is forcing a downgrade of my drivers:

*upgrading nvidia-settings

Sorry, that sub-slot foo has been fixed now. Please sync again in a bit and try again. It now depends upon 0/355.

I'm getting the same error. This is my (partial) output of after "emerge --sync && emerge -avuDN --with-bdeps=y @world"
