Description Brian Dolbec (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-11-08 20:33:05 UTC
After merging portage from a local overly during making of the 2.2.24 release.  A later emerge --sync, emerge -uDNVa --changed-use --changed-deps @world was bringing in paludis.

Adding -t to the run, it was brought in by perl-cleaner.

emerge -pv portage portage-utils just wants to rebuild the 2 installed pkgs, but showed the conflict/skipped upgrades.

Masking only paludis, then repeating the run, resolved fine, no portage or pkgcore pkgs were brought into the merge list.

All this while sys-apps/pkgcore had a stable ebuild (-0.9.2) available from my work overlay.

So, why did it want paludis instead of the installed portage/portage-utils and even before pkgcore???

perl-cleaner deps have:
	|| (
		( sys-apps/portage app-portage/portage-utils )
		sys-apps/pkgcore
		sys-apps/paludis
	)


Reproducible: Always

commenting out the paludis mask, and removing the sys-apps/portage::gentoo-guis entry from world resulted in a far different tree output.

It now wants to merge 61 pkgs instead of 62.

hmm, searching the original merge list, there were three pkgs pulling in paludis.

virtual/package-manager, python-updater and perl-cleaner.

The first 2 put paludis as second choice, only perl-cleaner put pkgcore as second.

But, with only paludis masked, why then did it not add pkgcore to the list, following the same logic why it added paludis over the installed portage.
