My ~amd64 system currently fails to update, and part of the problem appears to be the fact that pciutils won't upgrade from 3.1.9-r1 to 3.1.9-r2. This is due to udev-171-r5, which RDEPENDs on pciutils with specific USE flags: || ( >=sys-apps/pciutils-3.1.9-r1[-compress-db] <sys-apps/pciutils-3.1.9-r1[-zlib] ) But there no longer is a compress-db USE flag in pciutils 3.1.9-r2, so this dep cannot be satisifed by a more recent pciutils version. I've got >=udev-182 masked on my system, as I've got /usr on a separate mount, and I'm still not happy with having to use an initramfs, so I'd like to keep the older udev around until I'm happy with my setup. But it would be great if I could update pciutils even with that old udev around. I guess that this is just something wrong with the dependency, and that a simple adjustment to the udev ebuild could probably fix this. Am I right?
I've tried to comply with your request _for now_: http://sources.gentoo.org/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/sys-fs/udev/udev-171-r5.ebuild?r1=1.10&r2=1.11 After stabilization of >= 180 these type of requests will just get closed as WONTFIX.
