Steps to duplicate (I think, not tested) 1) emerge =vim-6.3.084 2) emerge gvim 3) vi 4) Note the error: Error detected while processing /etc/vim/vimrc: line 87: E484: Can't open file /usr/share/vim/syntax/syntax.vim Hit ENTER or type command to continue `emerge --update vim` fixes it, but shouldn't the dependencies force gvim-6.4 and vim-6.4 to be installed with vim-core-6.4?
The dependencies do specify that. Portage ignores them.
Need: 1) emerge info 2) steps that *you* can use to reproduce * vim-6.3.084 doesn't exist * using you're steps doesn't miss out vim-core 3) the output of what happened with `emerge --update vim` if possible * was something new installed? * was anything upgraded?
Closing due to old age
