Description Patrick Mullen 2005-09-17 10:59:43 UTC
During an upgrade, I noticed that portage wants to downgrade all of my xfce4
packages to 4.0.6.  This is due to the xfce4-base ebuild only containing version
4.0.6, even though everything it would install is marked stable at the current
version.  The version mismatch is causing problems.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge xfce4-base
2.you end up with 4.0.6 of everything
3.emerge libxfce4-util, libxfcegui4 etc seperately, and they all come in 4.2.2

Actual Results:  
Have a version mismatch and xfce4 doesn't function properly.

Expected Results:  
emerge xfce4-base should emerge the version 4.2.2 of it's subpackages.

xfce-base is deprecated use xfce4 or xfce4-extras
