trying to merge Plone on empty system produces double install of Zope: Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. get a freshly installe gentoo system 2. sync to latest portage 3. emerge -pvt plone Actual Results: # emerge -pvt plone These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Didn't look deep enough.
Not a bug; zope is slotted for a reason.
It's not about slotted or not - why is install that clearly depends on zope-2.7.x pulls zope-2.8.x ??? zprod-manager pulls 2.8 when it is not needed!
(In reply to comment #2) > zprod-manager pulls 2.8 when it is not needed! Because it doesn't depend on any particular version of zope; if you dislike it, then package.mask the higher versions.
shouldn't it check that zope-2.7.9 is already installed and not pull higher version (that is - if it doesn't require any particular version of Zope). if that's the intended behavior than it should be at least documented (however I do consider it being a bug in dependency resolution).
