esd is not in /etc/make.conf, and grep -r esd /var/db/pkg shows /var/db/pkg/media-libs/libsdl-1.2.3-r1/RDEPEND: esd? ( >=media-sound/esound-0.2.19 ) /var/db/pkg/media-libs/libsdl-1.2.3-r1/libsdl-1.2.3-r1.ebuild: esd? ( >=media-sound/esound-0.2.19 ) /var/db/pkg/media-libs/libsdl-1.2.3-r1/libsdl-1.2.3-r1.ebuild: esd? ( >=media-sound/esound-0.2.19 ) However, an "emerge --world --pretend update" shows that it wants to install esd. Why?
is an older version of esd currently installed? If so, that's why.
I'll find out as soon as I get home. However, IIRC, no, esound is not installed, which is why the 'N' appeared and made me chase down this dependency in the first place.
Hi! grep -Hr esound /usr/portage/* | grep -v esd? (with some hand filtering) yields the following packages with non-conditional dependencies on esd. Do you have any of these installed? app-games/xshipwars/xshipwars-1.34.0.ebuild: >=media-sound/esound-0.2.23 app-office/gaby/gaby-2.0.2-r1.ebuild:# Sound fields require ( >=media-sound/esound-0.2.8 ) dev-util/anjuta/anjuta-0.1.7.ebuild: media-sound/esound dev-util/anjuta/anjuta-0.1.8.ebuild: media-sound/esound gnome-base/gnome-libs/gnome-libs-1.4.1.3.ebuild: >=media-sound/esound-0.2.23 gnome-base/gnome-libs/gnome-libs-1.4.1.3-r1.ebuild: >=media-sound/esound-0.2.23 gnome-base/gnome-libs/gnome-libs-1.4.1.4.ebuild: >=media-sound/esound-0.2.23 media-libs/libao/libao-0.6.0.ebuild:DEPEND=">=media-sound/esound-0.2.22" media-video/bcast/files/bcast-2000c-r1-gentoo.diff: -I../esound \ media-video/bcast/files/bcast-2000c-gentoo.diff: -I../esound \ x11-wm/enlightenment/enlightenment-0.16.5-r2.ebuild: >=media-sound/esound-0.2.19
since world update functionality has been ripped from _pre portage and is pending reimplementation, I'm closing this bug. The reimplementation will take care of this problem.
