Description typograph 2011-09-06 07:33:25 UTC

Since texlive-2010 is stabilized, emerging texlive fails, because virtual/latex-base, needed e.g by app-text/dvipng or sci-mathematics/maxima, requires <texlive-latexrecommended-2009

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge app-text/texlive virtual/latex-base
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
emerge failed

Expected Results:  
emerge succeeds

The dependencies of virtual/latex-base-1.0 are:
|| ( ( dev-texlive/texlive-latexrecommended dev-texlive/texlive-fontutils ) <dev-texlive/texlive-latexrecommended-2009 app-text/ptex )

Under normal circumstances it should install dev-texlive/texlive-latexrecommended and dev-texlive/texlive-fontutils. You need to find out why it does not for you.

You are right. I misread the dependency line when checking for possible reasons. It originally failed in paludis, and when I checked with portage, I just checked that it fails and didn't notice that texlive-fontutils was masked under portage.

I'll redirect my problem to paludis authors, thanks.
