$ sudo emerge -av zope-fixers

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

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "=dev-lang/python-3.2*".
(dependency required by "net-zope/zope-fixers-1.0" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "zope-fixers" [argument])

Dependencies contain:
|| ( =dev-lang/python-3.2* =dev-lang/python-3.1* )

Portage prints first dependency atom.

Portage should prefer masked version over non-existing one with || ( ) deps then.

Comment 3 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2010-07-06 18:29:37 UTC

To clarify:

- =dev-lang/python-3* in /etc/portage/package.mask
- dev-lang/python-3.1.2-r3 is in portage
- =dev-lang/python-3.2* is not in portage

I guess we could consider this to be a variation of bug 164457, but with the stipulation that existing packages need to be distinguished from those that don't exist.

The depgraph _select_atoms_highest_available method temporarily disables autounmask during atom selection. We want it to loop through the autounmask levels until it selects a satisfiable combination of atoms.

I have a working autounmask patch here, but it needs to be fixed to revert unnecessary autounmask changes when appropriate:
