Description Sascha Silbe 2004-02-17 03:57:09 UTC

When updating world, x11-libs/pango is cycling between the versions 1.2.5-r1 and 1.2.3:

root@cube:~# emerge -Dpuv world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

On the next run (after pango has been upgraded to 1.2.5-r1), pango will be downgraded to 1.2.3.

you probably have some older pack that needs an older pango to work correctly. I think it was dia, check your dia version.

Comment 2 Sascha Silbe 2004-02-19 10:13:42 UTC

Yes, app-office/dia-0.91 does depend on <=x11-libs/pango-1.2.3. But portage should not cycle between those two versions. That's what SLOTs are for.

No actually that's not what SLOTs are for, but i won't go into details here  there's docs explaining the concept. Just upgrade your dia if it bothers you.
