Description Chris Slycord 2006-07-23 05:17:30 UTC

Portage handles blocks by only checking if the ebuild specifies a block. It doesn't check if the an installed package specifies a block for this new package.

Example of this:
1) emerge nvidia-kernel
2) ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge xorg-x11
3) Note block
4) emerge -C nvidia-kernel && ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge xorg-x11
5) emerge nvidia-kernel

Result: nvidia-kernel installs despite fact that xorg-x11 specifies a block for it

Expected: Not install; block would still be in plae.
