Description Walter Brunner 2004-03-29 04:39:43 UTC

The current media-gfx/bootsplash-0.6-r11 ebuild depends on the masked ebuild sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.6.13-r1

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge --tree -pvuUD world


Actual Results:  
Calculating world dependencies /
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.6.13-r1" have been
masked.
!!! possible candidates are:
- sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.6.13-r1 (masked by: ~keyword)
!!!    (dependency required by "media-gfx/bootsplash-0.6-r11" [ebuild])

!!! Problem with ebuild sys-kernel/genkernel-3.0.1
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.

!!! Depgraph creation failed.

Expected Results:  
upgrade bootsplash

Comment 1 Walter Brunner 2004-03-29 23:54:01 UTC

A solution for me was to do:
emerge -vuD world
without the -U option. Then bootsplash is downgraded to bootsplash-0.6-r10, because bootsplash-0.6-r11 is masked. It looks like bootsplash-0.6-r11 was not masked in older versions.
