Description Dawid Stawiarski 2008-05-09 12:19:37 UTC
After updating to 2.1.5_rc7 (from rc6) i've noticed that package list for 'emerge -pv virtualbox' is printed twice. It looks like this:
root@box ~ # emerge -pv virtualbox

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

!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

dev-libs/xerces-c:0

  ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-libs/xerces-c-2.7.0-r1', 'merge') pulled in by
    ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-libs/xalan-c-1.10.0', 'merge')

  ('ebuild', '/', 'dev-libs/xerces-c-2.8.0', 'merge') pulled in by
    ('ebuild', '/', 'app-emulation/virtualbox-1.5.6', '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.


Probably it's caused by the need of downgrade (I actually haven't found any other package that shows similar bug - but none of tested needed downgrade). Anyway, with rc6 list of packages was shown once - and downgrading portage solves this problem.

This is fixed in 2.1.5_rc9.
