Bug 158503 – emerge no longer ignores blockers when using --nodeps

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description SpanKY 2006-12-18 14:46:36 UTC]

i like to use --nodeps to work around moronic upgrade blockers ... however, once i upgrade to portage-2.1.2_rc3-r6, portage checks blockers even when using --nodeps

root@vapier-adi 0 ~ # emerge postgresql libpq -pq
[blocks B     ] <=dev-db/postgresql-8.0.8 (is blocking dev-db/libpq-8.0.9)
[blocks B     ] >=dev-db/libpq-8.0.9 (is blocking dev-db/postgresql-8.0.8)
[ebuild     U ] dev-db/postgresql-8.0.9-r1 [8.0.8] 
[ebuild     U ] dev-db/libpq-8.0.9 [8.0.8] 
root@vapier-adi 0 ~ # emerge postgresql libpq -q --nodeps

!!! Error: the >=dev-db/libpq-8.0.9 package conflicts with another package;
!!!        the two packages cannot be installed on the same system together.
!!!        Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers.
