Hi, My system is mostly stable, no overlays. I noticed something which seems to be strange : the two packages are installed and required by xorg-7.4, emerge -pvuDN world should ask me to downgrade them, since they are not in package.keywords. I will attach emerge --info, package.keywords and debug output from -uDN world. Seems also related to bug #223653. Thanks. $ emerge libFS font-xfree86-type1 -pv These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Because those pkgs are not in your world file. Works fine here on ~arch.

I'm sorry, I don't understand. If I run : # echo 'gnome-base/gnome-light ~x86' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords and : # emerge -pvuDN world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=gnome-base/gvfs-1.2.3" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - gnome-base/gvfs-1.2.3 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. (dependency required by "gnome-base/gnome-light-2.26.2" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "world" [argument]) gnome-base/gvfs is not in my world file, emerge tells me there's something wrong...
I'm saying you need to read the Gentoo documentation about package unmasking. This isn't a bug. "emerge -pvDuN world" won't touch packages that aren't listed in /var/lib/portage/world (packages that are explicitely emerged or deps of ones that are) Don't reopen this bug again, if you need assistance please join irc.gentoo.org #gentoo or use Gentoo forums.
Seriously, you read nothing. > I'm saying you need to read the Gentoo documentation about package unmasking. Thank you, I'm on gentoo since 4 years, I know how to unmask a package. And no, this bug has nothing to do with the ridiculous documentation on *how to unmask a package* [1]. > "emerge -pvDuN world" won't touch packages that aren't listed > in /var/lib/portage/world (packages that are explicitely emerged > *or deps of ones that are*) x11-libs/libFS and media-fonts/font-xfree86-type1 *ARE* deps of x11-base/xorg-x11-7.4 ! If you don't believe me, juste have a look to the ebuild. These packages are NOT in the package.keyword file, how do you explain that the command which must update the entire system doesn't care about that ? portage should downgrade the packages, or tell me that the required versions are masked by ~x86 keyword ! > Works fine here on ~arch. Yes ? fine. You're on ~arch, but I'm not. And I don't understand why some ~arch masked packages are installed on my *stable* system with no permission in the package.keyword file. For me, this is bug. > Don't reopen this bug again, if you need assistance please > join irc.gentoo.org #gentoo or use Gentoo forums. I'm sorry, I don't use IRC, and no, i will not use the forums for a problem which is for me a portage bug. If you don't want bugs from users, don't open a public bugzilla. And please, don't re-close the bug without a valid explanation. And don't answer me if it's just to tell me to read de doc, if you don't want to deal with this portage bug, give it to someone else, for example, the *portage team members* [2] Thank you.

So the problem you're facing is that emerge -pv <package> wants to downgrade the package, but emerge -uDN world doesn't? In that case, I think this is pretty much identical to the bug you pointed out -- bug #223653 Please verify that this is the case. Thanks.
-u means --update not --downgrade
As you can see from the attached debug output both x11-libs/libFS-1.0.1 and media-fonts/font-xfree86-type1-1.0.1 are pulled into the dependency graph. This is either a bug or a (questionable) feature of --update.

(In reply to comment #8) > Please verify that this is the case. > Yes, this seems to be the case, *but* the OP of bug #223653 is on ~amd64, I'm on *stable* x86, and the bug seems to be dead, the OP doesn't respond to the request, that's why I opened a new bug. (In reply to comment #9) > -u means --update not --downgrade > Wrong. If I remove the xorg-x11 line in the package.keyword file, portage wants to downgrade xorg. # grep xorg /etc/portage/package.keywords # emerge -pvuDN world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

So this bug is a duplicate of bug 13632. In particular, bug 13632 comment 42. bug 13632 is a duplicate of the famous bug 1343

This > is either a bug or a (questionable) feature of --update. Actually it's not possible to downgrade in this case without breaking the depgraph, since the debug output shows xorg-x11-7.4 depends on >=x11-libs/libFS-1.0.1. A command such as `emerge libFS font-xfree86-type1 -pv --complete-graph` would therefore result in a SLOT conflict (not with our new backtracking code though).
