The gtk-qt-engine-0.6-r1 ebuild has the wrong SLOT, as shown here: # etcat -v gtk-qt-engine [ Results for search key : gtk-qt-engine ] [ Candidate applications found : 3 ] Only printing found installed programs. * x11-themes/gtk-qt-engine : [ ~ ] 0.5 (2) [ I] 0.6 (2) [ I] 0.6-r1 (0) As can be seen, both 0.6 and 0.6-r1 are installed due to this SLOT error. The ebuild does set SLOT="2", but this seems to be overridden by something else. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Expected Results: emerging gtk-qt-engine-0.6-r1 should cause gtk-qt-engine-0.6 to be removed as part of the autoclean.
Created attachment 48806 [details, diff] Patch to fix SLOT issue This patch (which only moves the "need-kde 3" line) is enough to fix the SLOT issue - I guess somehow the "need-kde" function is clearing the SLOT setting.
At the moment our eclasses force SLOT to be 0 for non kde-base ebuilds, should we change that, or we just allow SLOT to be overridden after need-kde() has been called?
First of all the patch to the ebuild should be applied - can someone who has it emerged do that? motaboy? =============== need-kde() sets SLOT=0 for non-kdebase ebuilds. But kde.eclass already sets SLOT=0 (unconditionally) in its global section. Therefore the former should be removed - AFAICS nothing would break. But when changing such a central function, I want to day to reflect to make sure nothing is broken :-) OK to commit?
I've fixed the ebuild keeping the call to "need-kde" in the same place (after DEPEND as should be) but setting SLOT=2 after it.
Looks to be fixed to me.
