Description Petr Novak 2005-10-09 14:11:02 UTC 
When upgrading pine, one of its dependencies had was blocked by old pine
version. Emerge refused to proceed, but the message said that the dependency was
blocked by the _new_ version.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =mail-client/pine-4.63-r3
2. emerge -u pine
Actual Results:  
[blocks B     ] <mail-client/pine-4.64-r1 (is blocking net-mail/uw-mailutils-2004g)

Expected Results:  
[blocks B     ] <mail-client/pine-4.63-r3 (is blocking net-mail/uw-mailutils-2004g)

(as uw-mailutils have
DEPEND="virtual/libc
    !<net-mail/uw-imap-2004g-r1
    !<mail-client/pine-4.64-r1"
)

Sorry to bother again. I have read both bugs and none of them seems to address
that emerge reports wrong blocker. My problem isn emerging pine or uw-imap, but
the fact that emerge reports pine version 4.64-r1 is a blocker, when the real
blocker is version 4.63-r3 and 4.64-r1 would be quite fine.
