If we translate the argument into an implicit mask for the higher unmatching versions in the same slot, then that should solve it. *** Bug 500884 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I would too like this behavior to be fixed. |
so i emerged x11-libs/libfm-9999, then x11-misc/pcmanfm-1.1.0-r1 and then I try to downgrade x11-libs/libfm-1.1.0-r1 and I get this helix ~ # emerge -1av =x11-libs/libfm-1.1.0-r1 These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild UD ] x11-libs/libfm-1.1.0-r1:0/4.1.1 [9999:0/4.0.0] USE="-debug -doc -examples -vala" 0 kB Total: 1 package (1 downgrade), Size of downloads: 0 kB !!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: x11-libs/libfm:0 (x11-libs/libfm-9999::gentoo, installed) pulled in by >=x11-libs/libfm-1.1.0:0/4.0.0= required by (x11-misc/pcmanfm-1.1.0-r1::gentoo, installed) (x11-libs/libfm-1.1.0-r1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by =x11-libs/libfm-1.1.0-r1 I believe portage should allowed me to explicitly downgrade the library without marking the newest version first.
