Hi! Everytime I want to do a @world, the perl-virtual-related packages force to upgrade to perl 5.26. All versions installed are stable (not ~arch). Also, any of them depend on perl-5.24 too, but it forces to upgrade to 5.26. May those conflict packages be fixed in the dependencies? They say the 5.26 goes first than 5.24, even with the "||" operand (which implies it may require both 5.24 or 5.26). I'll attach the file with the full log (with --verbose-conflicts). Thanks. Reproducible: Always

Sorry. Getting onto this asap, not sure what's wrong. Firstly: > May those conflict packages be fixed in the dependencies? They say the 5.26 > goes first than 5.24, even with the "||" operand (which implies it may require > both 5.24 or 5.26). The || ( ) should be fine, as long as one of them are satisfied. So I'll have to go through the log and see if I missed something. This is the "suspect" set: virtual/perl-CPAN-Meta-YAML-0.18.0-r2:0/0::gentoo, installed) || ( =dev-lang/perl-5.26* =dev-lang/perl-5.24* ~perl-core/${PN#perl-}-${PV} ) Fine. virtual/perl-Text-ParseWords-3.300.0-r3:0/0::gentoo, installed) || ( =dev-lang/perl-5.26* =dev-lang/perl-5.24* ~perl-core/${PN#perl-}-${PV} ) Fine. virtual/perl-ExtUtils-Install-2.40.0-r3:0/0::gentoo, installed) || ( =dev-lang/perl-5.26* =dev-lang/perl-5.24* ~perl-core/${PN#perl-}-${PV} ) Fine. virtual/perl-Time-HiRes-1.974.100-r1:0/0::gentoo, installed) || ( =dev-lang/perl-5.26* =dev-lang/perl-5.24.3* ~perl-core/${PN#perl-}-${PV} ) This might be where its getting confused: This should be upgrading you to perl 5.24.3 However, that version is ~arch only. So why you have that version of perl-Time-HiRes virtual/perl-ExtUtils-Manifest-1.700.0-r4:0/0::gentoo, installed) || ( =dev-lang/perl-5.26* =dev-lang/perl-5.24* ~perl-core/${PN#perl-}-${PV} ) Fine. virtual/perl-ExtUtils-CBuilder-0.280.225-r2:0/0::gentoo, installed) || ( =dev-lang/perl-5.26* =dev-lang/perl-5.24* ~perl-core/${PN#perl-}-${PV} ) Fine.
Fine, I have that version of perl-Time-HiRes because my entire system is ~arch, but I left those packages as arch. But I'll fix it then. But the issue is still there.

As that version ( and ones like it ) only can be satisfied by a keyword level higher than you have, it might try to take you all the way. Mixing ~arch and arch, while feasible, has a lot of problems. But I otherwise can't explain why its doing what its doing, if you have 5.24.1-r2 installed, all constructs of : || ( =dev-lang/perl-5.26* =dev-lang/perl-5.24* ~perl-core/${PN#perl-}-${PV} ) Should be satisfied by that. Perl 5.24.3 shipped an updated Time-HiRes version, which is why that specific version now pulls that. usr/bin/corelist -a Time::HiRes | grep 1.9741 v5.24.3 1.9741 v5.25.8 1.9741 v5.25.9 1.9741 v5.25.10 1.9741 v5.25.11 1.9741 v5.25.12 1.9741 v5.26.0 1.9741 v5.26.1 1.9741 v5.27.0 1.9741 v5.27.1 1.9741
I found the solution: just downgrade the package you mentioned fixes this issue. Sorry. My bad. Thanks.
Also, if you see something like this again, can you retry with : --autounmask-keep-masks=y Would be good to see what portage is doing in that regards :) But glad your issue is fixed, I was panicking I'd missed something in the 70-different-things that change every release :D Marking as "INVALID" as this seems like "Userside bad configuration + portage is typically muddy about weird configuration and nobody knows how to unmuddy it" :D
