Created attachment 475722 [details] texlive-basic-2015:20170608-234938.log I'm aware this is probably not *expected* to work, and this may be one of those "don't mix arch and ~arch" things, but I thought I'd file a bug just in case it was a dependency problem that should be fixed. I synced today, and installed texlive-core-2017 without issue ( was a direct target due to how I smoke ), as follows from clean: [ebuild N ~] app-text/texlive-core-2017 USE="luajittex -X -cjk -doc -source -tk -xetex" [ebuild N ] dev-libs/kpathsea-6.2.2_p20160523 USE="-doc -source -static-libs" [ebuild N ~] dev-tex/bibtexu-3.71_p20170524 USE="-doc -source" [ebuild N ] dev-libs/icu-58.2-r1 USE="-debug -doc -examples -static-libs" [ebuild N ] app-text/libpaper-1.1.24-r2 [ebuild N ] app-text/poppler-0.45.0 USE="cxx introspection jpeg jpeg2k lcms utils -cairo (-cairo-qt) -cjk -curl -debug -doc -nss -png -qt4 -qt5 -tiff" [ebuild N ] media-libs/lcms-2.8-r1 USE="threads zlib -doc -jpeg -static-libs {-test} -tiff" [ebuild N ] media-libs/openjpeg-2.1.1_p20160922 USE="-doc -static-libs {-test}" [ebuild N ] media-libs/tiff-4.0.8 USE="cxx zlib -jbig -jpeg -lzma -static-libs {-test}" [ebuild N ~] app-text/dvipsk-5.997_p20170524 USE="-doc -source" [ebuild N ~] app-text/ps2pkm-1.8_p20170524 [ebuild N ] dev-libs/zziplib-0.13.62-r2 USE="-doc -sdl -static-libs {-test}" Then the next target I tried was the new version =dev-tex/latexdiff-1.2.0-r1 Which pulled the resulting depgraph: [ebuild N ~] dev-tex/latexdiff-1.2.0-r1 USE="test" [ebuild N ] dev-texlive/texlive-genericrecommended-2015 USE="-doc -source" [ebuild N ] dev-texlive/texlive-basic-2015 USE="luajittex -doc -source" [ebuild N ] dev-perl/Pod-LaTeX-0.610.0 [ebuild N ] virtual/perl-if-0.60.600-r2 [ebuild N ] virtual/perl-Pod-Parser-1.630.0-r3 [ebuild N ] app-shells/tcsh-6.20.00 USE="nls -doc" [ebuild N ] virtual/latex-base-1.0 [ebuild N ] dev-texlive/texlive-fontutils-2015 USE="-doc -source" [ebuild N ] dev-texlive/texlive-latexrecommended-2015-r1 USE="-doc -source" [ebuild N ] dev-texlive/texlive-latex-2015 USE="-doc -source" [ebuild N ] dev-perl/Algorithm-Diff-1.190.300 This resulted in quite a few -2015 versions of things getting pulled instead of -2017 Wherein texlive-basic-2015 failed as shown in the attached log.
