Description Harvey Muller 2009-02-20 18:49:53 UTC

Using ~amd64.  Upgraded db from 4.5 to 4.6.  Python-2.5.4 still depends on db-4.5 or lower, forcing db-4.5 to remain on system.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade from db-4.5 to db-4.6
2. Run emerge -epv
3. Observe both versions of db are installed



Expected Results:  
I expected db-4.5 to be removed, or to be notified why db-4.6 is not to be used with python-2.5.4.

The workaround is easy.  Modified the python ebuild, adding db-4.6 to the depend logic, and created a custom overlay.  Was able to emerge python successfully with db-4.6.
