emerge doesn't emerge latest stable after finding one unstable it stops, but it should check every following ebuild too gnupg-1.0.7.ebuild was x86 gnupg-1.2.0.ebuild was ~x86 gnupg-1.2.1.ebuild was ~x86 gnupg-1.2.1-r1.ebuild was x86 emerge -p gnupg These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] app-crypt/gnupg-1.0.7 after changing gnupg-1.2.0.ebuild and gnupg-1.2.1.ebuild to stable (x86) emerge -p gnupg These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] app-crypt/gnupg-1.2.1
What was in package.mask?
nothing changed in package.mask just edited the ebuilds themself
you could try it with media-video/transcode change the flag to stable in transcode-0.6.3.20021205.ebuild then do emerge -p transcode no transcode entry found in any package.mask
this is would be nice if portage handled this, but its also more of an error on the developer side of things ... in other words, cases like this should also be reported as sep bugs so that ppl can fix it
looks like a bad cache entry for 1.2.1-r1 reopen if it's still and issue.
db fix
