Description Gábor Farkas 2004-06-13 14:41:16 UTC

if gnome-vfs is emerged with USE="samba", then gnome-vfs-extras should refuse to emerge....

if you install gnome-vfs, then also install gnome-vfs-extras,
and after that you try to install gnome-vfs again, it will tell you that it cannot be done because gnome-vfs-extras is already installed.

but this conflict should also be on the other way around.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="samba" emerge gnome-vfs
2. emerge gnome-vfs-extras


Actual Results:  
gnome-vfs-extras emerged correctly

Expected Results:  
gnome-vfs-extras should refuse to emerge with a conflict

why would you install gnome-vfs-extras when you already have samba support i wonder ?

Yes it should maybe, but it's an unlikely chain of events and eventually gnome-vfs-extras will dissapear. What if you choose to use gnome-vfs-extras samba support and compile gnome-vfs USE=-samba ? We cannot work with that situation so the blocks are one way directed, because the other situation cannot be handled by portage.
