Description Surakshan Mendis 2005-12-28 01:11:25 UTC
xpdf-3.01-r4 blocking poppler EVEN when no version of xpf is installed.
For an example, when I run emerge world -uvaD I get 

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[blocks B     ] <app-text/xpdf-3.01-r4 (is blocking app-text/poppler-0.4.3-r1)
[ebuild  N    ] app-text/xpdf-3.01-r3  +X +motif 0 kB 

BUT xpdf is not installed, attempts to uninstall it show,

emerge -C xpdf
>>> unmerge: No packages selected for removal.one!
[blocks B     ] <app-text/xpdf-3.01-r4 (is blocking app-text/poppler-0.4.3-r1)
[ebuild  N    ] app-text/xpdf-3.01-r3  +X +motif 0 kB 

Also note that if app-text/xpdf-3.01-r3 is installed the blocker still mentions version 3.01-r4 (which is not installed).

In the app-text/xpdf-3.01-r4 ebuild in the RDEPEND section there is: 
!=app-text/xpdf-3.01-r4"

which is responsible for the blocking message, however is it meant to have a version like that? (note the < sign in the blocking message as well) maybe that's why it's blocking incorrectly as in my case i don't have xpdf installed in the first place.

I've rated it critical, it's stopping the build process dead in its track
