Description Terje Kvernes 2003-07-24 06:53:59 UTC

orion-seven root # emerge -Up galeon
>>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild    UD] net-www/galeon-1.2.11 [1.3.7] 


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
0. build mozilla with gtk2 support.
1. uncomment the galeon mask from /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
2. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge galeon
3. wait
4. try to do emerge -U world

Actual Results:  
emerge wanted to merge galeon-1.2.11

Expected Results:  
emerge shouldn't have done anything.  :-)

Comment 1 Terje Kvernes 2003-07-24 06:56:31 UTC

hm, this only seems to happen if the updated package is masked in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask.  bug or feature?  :-)

Doesn't look like a dup to me.  I get the ping-pong install thing without
using -U.  It could be related to just -u though since that's what I'm using.

Also, I don't see media-libs/libmpeg2 in the package.mask so I think
that blows that theory out of the water.
