Bug 107490 – conflict between package.mask and package.unmask

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Marco Nierlich 2005-09-28 04:09:33 UTC]

I had a >=app-office/openoffice-bin-1.9.87 in my package.unmask.
Due to some problems with OOo-19.9.130 I put an
=app-office/openoffice-bin-19.130 in my package.mask but still emerge -pv
openoffice-bin wanted to reinstall 1.9.130 instead of the 1.9.128 (which was
perfectly working).
Seems that package.unmask gets evaluated after package.mask and overrides all.

Solving this was possible by just addin >app-office/openoffice-bin/1.9.130 AND
<app-office/openoffice-bin/1.9.130 in my package.unmask (without anything in
package.mask).

How is this a bug? 
 
Package.unmask is the last thing evaluated, it is supposed to work like this. 

[Comment 2 Jason Stubbs (RETIRED) 2005-09-28 04:47:25 UTC]

Exactly. This is correct behaviour.
