It looks like we'll probably need to make the depgraph save the relevant parent, since it seems non-trivial to try and deduce that later.
(In reply to comment #1) > It looks like we'll probably need to make the depgraph save the relevant > parent, since it seems non-trivial to try and deduce that later. That sounds good in theory, but might break with backtracking. What about scanning all parents and using the parent with the most specific atom?
(In reply to comment #2) > What about > scanning all parents and using the parent with the most specific atom? I guess that would probably work pretty well. If you have multiple > or < atoms you'd have to compare the versions to see which atoms narrow the possibilities more. For example if the selected package version is 2.0, then a >=2.0 atom narrows the possibilities more that a >=1.0 atom.
You could as well check which other unmasked version exist and check if the parent atoms match those or not. Once you find one that doesn't match, you've found a valid candidate.
This is fixed in git: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=commit;h=57cc4e3e8991e7c4394d1dff7698aa62ed2a286b
