Bug 66600 – arts in infinite loop of upgrading and downgrading on Alpha

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Decade 2004-10-06 21:12:59 UTC]

Similar, in my superficial experience, to bug 62181, but with arts instead. Constant cycling between versions 1.2.2 and 1.2.3.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Whatever I did to get this system up. I like KDE.
2. emerge sync anytime recently.
3. emerge -uD world a few times

Actual Results:  
Arts would upgrade to 1.2.3, downgrade to 1.2.2, upgrade again. 

Expected Results:  
Stick to a version.

since kdeaddons-3.2.3, and perhaps other kde pkgs, don't have the alpha keyword, this will continue happening.  reassigning to alpha team.

[Comment 2 Bryan Østergaard (RETIRED) 2004-12-06 16:57:02 UTC]

Moved on to 3.3.1 so this shouldn't be a problem anymore.
