This seems to be a strange interaction between --noreplace and --newuse. Since you have ghostscript-gpl-9.02 installed, --noreplace causes the corresponding unbuilt ebuild of the same version to be rejected, and then ghostscript-gpl-9.01 gets pulled in to satisfy the dependency instead. I'm not sure if this is worth "fixing". Maybe we should simply deprecate the --noreplace option or make it an alias for --selective. The --selective option has a similar effect, but without the extra logic that makes --noreplace give strange results in this case. (In reply to comment #4) > I'm not sure if this is worth "fixing".

I'd rather just simplify things by removing the version-related logic and making --noreplace an alias for --selective.

As you said that ghostscript-gpl-9.02 is skipped because of --noreplace, now I'm sure I hit a bug here. It happens also with --changed-use instead of --newuse. > I'm not sure if this is worth "fixing". Maybe we should simply deprecate the > --noreplace option or make it an alias for --selective.

Another possibility could be to keep the current logic of --noreplace into something like --reinstall=no, and make --noreplace as an alias for --selective, as you said. (In reply to comment #6) > --noreplace is supposed to only apply to packages given on the command-line, > not dependencies. If we only applied the logic for atoms given on the command-line, people will still be able to trigger strange behavior that's worthy of bug reports. I'd much rather remove the strange logic and be done with it. > Sounds safe, if this extra logic offers no benefits. > > Another possibility could be to keep the current logic of --noreplace into > something like --reinstall=no, and make --noreplace as an alias for > --selective, as you said. I don't want to rename it because that still leaves an avenue for future bug reports about the strange behavior. This makes --noreplace identical to --selective: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=72f83d8078da7aab7be9236b86be1526c15a4185 This is fixed in 2.1.10.7 and 2.2.0_alpha46. |
I noticed that combining --newuse and --noreplace (together with --update --deep) makes portage try to find downgrades with different IUSE. The portage(1) manual, for --noreplace, says: "Also note that this option takes precedence over options such as --newuse, preventing a package from being reinstalled even though the corresponding USE flag settings may have changed." So either the documentation is not correct, of the portage behavior is not. $ emerge -p -DunN gd These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
