Created attachment 862042 [details] emerge --info portage I am trying to update my @world set, but portage keeps re-emerging these packages even tough it has already emerged them. > letto@localhost: ~ $ sudo emerge -avuDN @world > > These are the packages that would be merged, in order: > > Calculating dependencies... done! > Dependency resolution took 64.28 s. > > [ebuild rR ] dev-util/source-highlight-3.1.9-r1::gentoo USE="-doc -static-libs" 0 KiB > [ebuild rR ] net-libs/libtorrent-rasterbar-2.0.8:0/2.0::gentoo USE="dht ssl -debug -gnutls -python -test" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_11 -python3_10" 0 KiB > [ebuild rR ] dev-util/mdds-2.0.3:1/2.0::gentoo USE="openmp -doc -test" 0 KiB > [ebuild rR ] dev-cpp/libcmis-0.5.2-r2:0.5::gentoo USE="man -test -tools" 0 KiB > [ebuild rR ] dev-libs/libixion-0.17.0-r1:0/0.17::gentoo USE="-debug -python" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_11 -python3_10" 0 KiB > [ebuild rR ] dev-libs/liborcus-0.17.2-r1:0/0.17::gentoo USE="spreadsheet-model -python -test -tools" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_11 -python3_10" 0 KiB > [ebuild rR ] games-arcade/supertux-0.6.3-r2::gentoo USE="-debug" 0 KiB > [ebuild rR ] app-office/libreoffice-7.5.3.2::gentoo USE="branding dbus kde mariadb pdfimport vulkan -accessibility -base -bluetooth -clang -coinmp -cups -custom-cflags -debug -eds -firebird -googledrive -gstreamer -gtk -java -ldap -odk -postgres -test -valgrind" LIBREOFFICE_EXTENSIONS="-nlpsolver -scripting-beanshell -scripting-javascript -wiki-publisher" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_11 -python3_10" 0 KiB > [ebuild rR *] dev-util/heaptrack-9999::gentoo USE="gui -test -zstd" 0 KiB > > Total: 9 packages (9 reinstalls), Size of downloads: 0 KiB All of these packages were already rebuilt several times. There seems to be no new use flag or reason for re-installing them that I can see. Portage thinks re-installing them must be great fun. This happens for about a month now. > letto@localhost: ~ $ sudo emerge -av1 dev-util/source-highlight ... > >>> dev-util/source-highlight-3.1.9-r1 merged. > >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache... > > >>> Completed (1 of 1) dev-util/source-highlight-3.1.9-r1::gentoo > > * Regenerating GNU info directory index... > * Processed 169 info files. > letto@localhost: ~ $ Of course, after this portage tries to install it again... > letto@localhost: ~ $ sudo emerge -avuDN @world > > These are the packages that would be merged, in order: > > Calculating dependencies... done! > Dependency resolution took 57.14 s. > > [ebuild rR ] dev-util/source-highlight-3.1.9-r1::gentoo USE="-doc -static-libs" 0 KiB > [ebuild rR ] net-libs/libtorrent-rasterbar-2.0.8:0/2.0::gentoo USE="dht ssl -debug -gnutls -python -test" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_11 -python3_10" 0 KiB > [ebuild rR ] dev-util/mdds-2.0.3:1/2.0::gentoo USE="openmp -doc -test" 0 KiB > [ebuild rR ] dev-cpp/libcmis-0.5.2-r2:0.5::gentoo USE="man -test -tools" 0 KiB > [ebuild rR ] dev-libs/libixion-0.17.0-r1:0/0.17::gentoo USE="-debug -python" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_11 -python3_10" 0 KiB > [ebuild rR ] dev-libs/liborcus-0.17.2-r1:0/0.17::gentoo USE="spreadsheet-model -python -test -tools" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_11 -python3_10" 0 KiB > [ebuild rR ] games-arcade/supertux-0.6.3-r2::gentoo USE="-debug" 0 KiB > [ebuild rR ] app-office/libreoffice-7.5.3.2::gentoo USE="branding dbus kde mariadb pdfimport vulkan -accessibility -base -bluetooth -clang -coinmp -cups -custom-cflags -debug -eds -firebird -googledrive -gstreamer -gtk -java -ldap -odk -postgres -test -valgrind" LIBREOFFICE_EXTENSIONS="-nlpsolver -scripting-beanshell -scripting-javascript -wiki-publisher" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_11 -python3_10" 0 KiB > [ebuild rR *] dev-util/heaptrack-9999::gentoo USE="gui -test -zstd" 0 KiB > > Total: 9 packages (9 reinstalls), Size of downloads: 0 KiB Also, "emerge -pvuDN --debug @world" generated a file that has 57 MB so I'm not sure how to add it here.
This turns out to be caused by the fact that the upgrade to dev-libs/boost-1.82.0-r1 is blocked. I have a program that is depending strictly on on dev-libs/boost-1.81 and blocks the upgrade to any newer version of boost. After adding =dev-libs/boost-1.82.0-r1 to package.mask portage doesn't re-emerge any package now. Maybe the issue should be that when a packge upgrade is blocked, portage doesn't handle upgrading correctly. That, or this bug should be closed?
