I have kvirc-3.0.0_beta2 (~x86) installed, and when I do emerge -pu world, portage reports: [ebuild U ] net-irc/kvirc-3.0.0_beta1 [3.0.0_beta2] The point here being that it doesn't flag it as a downgrade, (no 'D'). emerge -puU world shows nothing, so it's still able to calculate that 3.0.0_beta1 is older than 3.0.0_beta2. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install something masked that has letters in it's version. 2. emerge -pu world Actual Results: The unmasked version of the above package will be listed with no 'D' flag. Expected Results: Added a 'D' Portage 2.0.47-r10 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.1-r4) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1700+ GENTOO_MIRRORS=" http://212.219.56.131/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ http://194.83.57.15/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ http://194.83.57.11/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/3.1/share/config /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" USE="x86 oss 3dnow apm avi crypt cups encode gif jpeg kde libg++ libwww mikmod mmx mpeg ncurses nls pdflib png quicktime spell truetype xml2 xmms xv zlib alsa gdbm berkdb slang readline svga java guile X sdl gpm tcpd pam ssl python imlib oggvorbis gnome gtk qt motif opengl ldap aalib acpi -arts bonobo cdr dga dvd esd gb gd ggi ggz gtkhtml imap ipv6 lcms maildir mozilla oav perl samba sse tcltk tiff xml" COMPILER="gcc3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" MAKEOPTS="-j2" AUTOCLEAN="yes" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" FEATURES="sandbox ccache userpriv usersandbox"
is this still a issue ?
guess not ;)
