I just tried to do this command: emerge --oneshot --verbose --deep --update --newuse libxml2 libxslt eselect-compiler man Emerge picks this order for installing: [ebuild U ] dev-libs/libxslt-1.1.17 [1.1.16] USE="crypt python -debug" 0 kB [ebuild U ] app-admin/eselect-compiler-2.0.0_rc2 [2.0.0_rc1-r6] USE="-hardened" 114 kB [ebuild U ] dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.26 [2.6.24] USE="doc ipv6 python readline -debug -test" 3,338 kB [ebuild U ] sys-apps/man-1.6d [1.6c] USE="-nls" 263 kB Unfortunately, the emerge of dev-libs/libxslt-1.1.17 then fails because it depends on dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.25 or better having already been installed. This dependency is correctly recorded in the ebuild for dev-libs/libxslt-1.1.17, so this is clearly a bug in emerge. I am attaching the output of these commands: emerge --debug --pretend --oneshot --verbose --deep --update --newuse libxml2 libxslt eselect-compiler man emerge --info I am also attaching the contents of these files: /var/lib/portage/world /etc/portage/package.use If you want me to look at something, please say so fairly soon. I am happy to hold off doing an "emerge --sync" or any other emerging for a day or two to preserve the state of the database on my disk for debugging, but eventually I will have to just do the updates in the correct order by hand and get on with life. It occurs to me that this may be just another instance of some other bug, but I can't tell from reading the other bugs whether the precise thing going wrong here (maybe dependency parsing trouble?) matches another bug or not, so I am afraid I need to leave it to you to determine whether this is a duplicate.

I can confirm this behavior: emerge -puD eselect-compiler These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild U ] dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.26 [2.6.24] [ebuild U ] dev-libs/libxslt-1.1.17 [1.1.16] [ebuild U ] app-admin/eselect-compiler-2.0.0_rc2 [2.0.0_rc1-r6] emerge -puD libxml2 libxslt eselect-compiler These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild U ] dev-libs/libxslt-1.1.17 [1.1.16] [ebuild U ] app-admin/eselect-compiler-2.0.0_rc2 [2.0.0_rc1-r6] [ebuild U ] dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.26 [2.6.24]
I have an out of order issue as well: USE=kerberos emerge -av gnome-extra/evolution-data-server gnome-extra/evolution-exchange succeeds, but the reverse order fails with a message asking me to emerge evolution-data-server with USE=kerberos. If this is a different bug, I'd be happy to file a new bug. emerge -info ==> Portage 2.1.1_pre3-r4 (default-linux/amd64/2006.0, gcc-4.1.1/amd64-vanilla, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.17-gentoo-r4 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17-gentoo-r4 x86_64 AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology MT-32 Gentoo Base System version 1.12.1 distcc 2.18.3 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: 2.0.0_rc2-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r2 dev-util/confcache: 0.4.2-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r2, 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: 2.0.0_rc1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.16 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-Wall -march=k8 -msse3 -pipe -O2 -ffast-math" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/X11/xkb /var/bind /var/service" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-Wall -march=k8 -msse3 -pipe -O2 -ffast-math" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache confcache distlocks fixpackages metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/gentoo/ http://gentoo.llarian.net/ http://gentoo.mirrors.easynews.com/linux/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.ucsb.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/gentoo/ ftp://gentoo.llarian.net/pub/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/etc/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X alsa apache2 avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cli crypt cups dlloader doc dri eds emboss encode firefox foomaticdb fortran gif glibc-omitfp gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imlib ipv6 isdnlog java jikes jpeg kde ldap lzw lzw-tiff mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin opengl pam pcre pdf pdflib perl png pppd python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl ssl tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1 type1-fonts unicode usb xemacs xml xml2 xorg xpm xv xvid zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_evdev kernel_linux userland_GNU" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
