emerge info
I am trying to downgrade the xorg server in my ~amd64 installation and I put these lines in the package.mask file >=app-eselect/eselect-opengl-1.3.1-r2 >x11-base/xorg-server-1.15.2-r2 >=x11-base/xorg-server-1.16.4 >=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-343 >media-video/nvidia-settings-331.20 >=x11-proto/glproto-1.4.17 >=media-libs/mesa-10.3.7-r1 Now, when I try to emerge xorg-server like in the attachment, portage tries to upgrade the server even tough it's put in package.mask. Even eix shows it as unmasked. (chroot) Gentoo-2012 ~ # eix xorg-server [U] x11-base/xorg-server Available versions: 1.12.4-r4(0/1.12.4) 1.15.2-r2(0/1.15.2) [m]1.16.4(0/1.16.1) [m](~)1.16.4-r1(0/1.16.1) (~)1.16.4-r2(0/1.16.1) [m](~)1.17.1(0/1.17.1) [m](~)1.17.1-r1(0/1.17.1) Notice the missing [m] in front of 1.16.4-r2 . Also the same thing happens with glproto (chroot) Gentoo-2012 ~ # eix glproto [U] x11-proto/glproto Available versions: 1.4.16 (~)1.4.16-r1 [m]1.4.17 (~)1.4.17-r1 Uggh... resolved as one of those PEBCAK errors... :( |
