Description Priit Laes (IRC: plaes) 2008-04-22 08:51:09 UTC 
Currently portage 2.1.5_rc6 wants to rebuild xulrunner-1.8 which shouldn't be required:

"xulrunner" gets pulled in by the command line arg, portage resolves it as 1.9 (highest version), and then in the same depgraph, gets in liferea, then it decides whether to include liferea's deps in the depgraph, sees "xulrunner" there (instead of xulrunner-1.9) and pulls in 1.8 too.

chi ~ # emerge -av liferea xulrunner
[ebuild   R   ] net-libs/xulrunner-1.8.1.14  USE="gnome ipv6 xinerama -debug -java -xprint" 0 kB 
[ebuild     U ] net-libs/xulrunner-1.9_beta5-r1 [1.9_beta5] USE="dbus gnome ipv6 -debug -java -startup-notification" 0 kB 
[ebuild     U ] net-news/liferea-1.4.15 [1.4.14] USE="dbus gnutls libnotify networkmanager xulrunner* -debug -firefox* -gtkhtml -lua -seamonkey" 0 kB 

Now the debug output for the interested:

chi ~ # emerge --debug -av liferea xulrunner
myaction None
myopts {'--debug': True, '--ask': True, '--verbose': True}

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

The code that matches arguments with packages doesn't work correctly when multiple slots are involved. Until this is fixed, you can use a more specific atom like =xulrunner-1.9 as a workaround.
Comment 2 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2008-05-06 08:37:14 UTC 
This is fixed in 2.1.5_rc7.
