Description Squee 2003-07-08 17:57:00 UTC
I'm experiencing some odd behavior from a few packages. They are:

app-editors/vim-core
media-video/avifile
media-libs/libmpeg

Every time I 'emerge sync' and then 'emerge -uD world' they come up:
--------------
emerge -uDp world
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
 
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild    U ] app-editors/vim-core-6.2-r1 [6.1-r5]
[ebuild    U ] media-video/avifile-0.7.32.20030219 [0.7.15.20020816-r1]
[ebuild    UD] media-libs/libmpeg2-0.2.1 [0.3.1]
------------

The next time I sync and emerge -uD, they appear again, except with the versions
flipped around from the previous time.

It appears that Portage can't fully decide which is the lastest version...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge sync
2. emerge -uD world
3. emerge sync
4. emerge -uD world
...

do you use portage_overlay ?


<=avifile-0.7.15 and
>=avifile-0.7.32   have new API which isn't compatible

maybe you are using any apps that need old api
Comment 2 Squee 2003-07-09 09:39:52 UTC
portage_overlay??

It might be an app that uses an older API, but I have no clue which app that would be....And vim-core?  Did the api change between 6.1 and 6.2?  As far as I know, I have nothing that depends on vim besides vim itself....Is there a way to check?

With kvim installed, vim-core will cycle between 6.1-rX
and 6.2-r1.
