Description Vladimir Brik 2006-10-20 12:24:46 UTC

when I update world, emerge first upgrades eselect, but on the next world upgrade wants to downgrade it. It probably has something to do with eselect being in my packages.keywords (it's there for scipy and related packages)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes I made to /etc/portage/packages.keywords:

media-video/nvidia-settings
=sys-apps/lmctl-0.3.2-r3
=app-admin/eselect-lapack-0.1
=app-admin/eselect-cblas-0.1
=app-admin/eselect-blas-0.1
app-admin/eselect
=sci-libs/blas-atlas-3.7.11-r1
=sci-libs/lapack-atlas-3.7.11-r1
=media-libs/libgpod-0.4.0
=dev-python/eyeD3-0.6.10
=app-pda/gtkpod-0.99.8
=dev-java/swt-3.2-r1
=dev-java/bcprov-1.31-r1

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

So stick eselect-opengl into package.keywords as well and it won't happen. :)
