Description John Russell 2004-08-19 06:58:52 UTC
regexxer has a dependency on a specific version of gtkmm (2.2.11).  So if any other package updates gtkmm to version 2.2.12, the next time I update it gets downgraded to 2.2.11, and then back up and down and up and down.....

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge anything that requires gtkmm
2. emerge regexxer-0.6
3. emerge -uD will upgrade and downgrade gtkmm

Actual Results:  
emerge -uD will upgrade and downgrade gtkmm

Expected Results:  
all packages should be happy with the latest version of gtkmm

lostirc-0.3.3 also has a dependency on gtkmm-2.2.11
Comment 2 John Russell 2004-09-15 06:14:06 UTC
Should lostirc depend on =gtkmm-2.2.11 or >=gtkmm-2.2.11?
Comment 3 Antonio 2004-09-22 15:48:35 UTC
Same problem:

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

same applies to media-sound/gnomoradio, I am now following the hints at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=227464:

grep 'dev-cpp/gtkmm' /var/db/pkg/*/*/*.ebuild
(...)
/var/db/pkg/media-sound/gnomoradio-0.13/gnomoradio-0.13.ebuild:DEPEND="=dev-cpp/gtkmm-2.2.11
(...)

changing the DEPEND of /usr/portage/media-sound/gnomoradio/gnomoradio-0.13.ebuild (and not /var/db/pkg/media-sound/gnomoradio-0.13/gnomoradio-0.13.ebuild !!!) to >=dev-cpp/gtkmm-2.2.11 seems to solve the problem temporarily for me - untill the next sync :)
Comment 5 Jonas Fährmann 2004-10-05 10:17:46 UTC
gnomoradio-0.13 builds without errors, but when I try to start it now it dies with:

jonix@jonix ~ $ gnomoradio
Speicherzugriffsfehler

This is german for something like memory access error.

The DEPEND for =dev-cpp/gtkmm-2.2.11 seems to be no joke...
