Description Evan Teran 2002-11-17 07:44:16 UTC
ok, i was trying to update many of my gtk apps to use gtk2 since i just noticed
this new use flag.  anyway, i tried doing an "emerge -pe world" to see if
anything still needed the old gtk files and i got this:

emerge: all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=gnome-extra/gal-0.19" (from ebuild /
gnome-extra/gtkhtml-1.0.4 merge) have been masked.

so naturally i checked out package.mask and saw it was not there:

so i checked the ebuilds, and this is what i found...

gal-0.21 has KEYWORDS="~x86 ~ppc ~sparc ~sparc64" (masked)
gal-0.20 has KEYWORDS="x86 ppc sparc sparc64" (not masked)

however it seems that portage is viewing all versions of gal as masked, not just
0.21..

i verified this by doing:

"emerge -s ^gal$"

which returns this:

*  gnome-extra/gal [ Masked ]
      Latest version available: 0.21
      Latest version installed: 0.20
      Size of downloaded files: 964 kB
      Homepage:    http://www.gnome.org/
      Description: The Gnome Application Libraries


i hope this isnt the desired functionality (if it is, i'll live with it, but it
is ... less than intuative ;)).

oh yea, almost forgot:

$ emerge --version

could you also post `emerge info` please 
Comment 3 Evan Teran 2002-11-17 15:12:03 UTC
surely :) 
 
please note that while gtk/gtk2 are disabled, i enabled them when i want gtk 
functionality in programs in which it is an option.

I can't duplicate the problem with what you're told me.
Comment 5 Evan Teran 2002-11-19 05:45:44 UTC
is there any more information you could use?  I'm not sure if the problem 
persists still...i'll try it again when i am back on my laptop

pretty sure 10710 is the same
