same here Thanks for the report, but it's also not a bug. It's just saying that it can't upgrade to the latest docutils because Sphinx needs an older one. This is a genuine constraint upstream at Sphinx and won't be fixed until a new major Sphinx is out. OK. But then, why is it a "dependency conflict" as none of the other packages that depend on docutils require docutils-0.18. I always thought that I get these WARNING only when it is a hard conflict. Maybe I misunderstood this. (In reply to Horst Prote from comment #3) > OK. But then, why is it a "dependency conflict" as none of the other > packages that depend on docutils require docutils-0.18.

It's trying to just tell you "hey, I had to skip an update" but it's non-fatal and purely informative. Maybe we should change it to "INFORMATION" or "NOTICE". The problem is, sometimes users _can_ act on it if it's because of a USE flag or similar. But this one is a true upstream restriction for now. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 829842 *** |
