Description Tomáš Cícha 2007-10-01 06:25:24 UTC
Well, because of some another bug, xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r1 requires <renderproto-0.9.3, but libXrender-0.9.4 requires >=renderproto-0.9.3, which causes world update to fail:

------------

# emerge -auND world

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

Calculating world dependencies -
!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been 
!!! pulled into the dependency graph:

('installed', '/', 'x11-proto/renderproto-0.9.2', 'nomerge') pulled in by
  ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r1', 'merge')

('ebuild', '/', 'x11-proto/renderproto-0.9.3', 'merge') pulled in by
  ('ebuild', '/', 'x11-libs/libXrender-0.9.4', 'merge')

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the
dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be
installed simultaneously.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page
or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

!!! Depgraph creation failed.

--------------

adding =libXrender-0.9.4 to package.mask will help a half, becouse libXrender-0.9.2 still tries to install the newest version of renderproto and it conflicts again.

So it can be solved for a while by adding =x11-libs/libXrender-0.9.4 and =x11-proto/renderproto-0.9.3 to package.mask, but I hope it isn't a final step;)

Confirmed.

I think this change in r1 does more harm then good, as there are many people (like myself) who have xorg-server-1.3.0.0 running just fine with renderproto-0.9.3.

Please revert this so users don't have to mask it.

I do not consider this a duplicate of that bug.  This is a new bug caused by a poor fix for that other bug.
