Description Lóránt Farkas 2006-12-17 00:57:46 UTC
I've try to update-world --prepare and get the following message:
Calculating world dependencies |
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=x11-wm/metacity-2.15.5" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- x11-wm/metacity-2.16.3 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "dev-python/gnome-python-desktop-2.16.0" [ebuild])

Please don't make a package stable if it has a dependency which is not stable.

Which package? Sorry but you didn't post any useful info, lacking paranormal skills here.

Whatever...

  metacity-2.16.3.ebuild:
  Stable on amd64 wrt bug #156662.
Comment 3 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-17 01:45:22 UTC
Not a bug.

From the original message:
"(dependency required by "dev-python/gnome-python-desktop-2.16.0" [ebuild])"

gnome-python-desktop-2.16.0 was keyworded amd64 2006/12/12 16:21:08
metacity-2.16.3 was keyworded amd64 2006/12/12 17:04:28

So this seems like a legitimate bug to me, although one that's fixed already.

Dunno how you, but other devs unfortunately lack the magic ability to keyword and commit tens on ebuilds in a single second. 
Comment 7 Lóránt Farkas 2006-12-19 14:34:58 UTC
OK but I was pretty, good user I've runned emerege --sync, and I get the error, I've re-emerged portage and get the same error. Now what to do? Any idea?
Comment 8 Lóránt Farkas 2006-12-19 14:40:11 UTC
So the problem remained after emerge --sync so I reopen it.
Comment 9 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-19 15:41:55 UTC
So attach the ebuild here because it's amd64 (stable) in CVS, and it's stable on any mirror I tried.

metacity ebuild

The ebuild is OK, but I get the error. So I think the bug is in the portage itself, not the ebuild. I've runned emerge --regen after I removed /var/cache/edb/dep, but the problem remain.
Comment 11 Lóránt Farkas 2006-12-19 22:39:41 UTC
I'm waiting for further ideas.
Comment 12 Lóránt Farkas 2006-12-19 22:51:39 UTC
If I give 
# emerge -puvD metacity  
I get
[ebuild     UD] x11-wm/metacity-2.14.5 [2.16.3] USE="-debug -xinerama" 0 kB
Same with
#emerge -pv metacity  
[ebuild     UD] x11-wm/metacity-2.14.5 [2.16.3] USE="-debug -xinerama" 0 kB
Why want the portage downgrade it?
Comment 13 Lóránt Farkas 2006-12-19 23:06:04 UTC
I've solved! After removing the xeffects layer all problem solved. So sorry the problem was in the overlay. Maybe the emerge --sync could sync the overlays too, or a message would be shown after emerge --sync somthig like that
"Please sync your overlays too." 
If the user has overlays.
Comment 14 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-20 01:02:04 UTC
Reopen to resolve properly. (Dunno why everyone feels the urge to overlay stuff that's up-to-date in portage, completely needlessly).
Comment 15 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-20 01:02:21 UTC
INVALID.
Comment 16 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-12-20 01:02:59 UTC
Closed.
