Well, I just found out that after I've upgraded vmware-modules, emerge -uav world now does want to do nothing, but emerge -uDNav world wants to downgrade vmware-modules again, as vmware-server seems to depend on a specific version. So I now believe that this actually is not a portage bug, but still a slightly confusing behaviour. I don't know how to mark this bug and don't know if this is the wanted behaviour of portage. So I'll just leave it as new for now, and leave it to dev-portage@gentoo.org to change its status. (In reply to comment #1). > I don't know how to mark this bug and don't know if this is the wanted > behaviour of portage.

You'll also be able to get a warning if something like vmware-server is holding back an upgrade. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1343 *** |
