Bug 147264 – equery depends broken

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Stoian Ivanov 2006-09-11 23:50:51 UTC]

Today i decided to remove clanlib .... then a problem "emerged":
equery reported no one depends on clanlibe then emerge insisted on reemerging it with -auDN world then i masked it and then emerge confessed that games-puzzle/pingus depends on clanlib. So is equery borken or am I in a mistake:


root@sdr ~ # equery depends clanlib
[ Searching for packages depending on clanlib... ]
root@sdr ~ # vim /etc/portage/package.mask
root@sdr ~ # emerge -auDN world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating world dependencies |
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=dev-games/clanlib-0.6.5*" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-games/clanlib-0.6.5-r3 (masked by: package.mask)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "games-puzzle/pingus-0.6.0-r1" [ebuild])
