Since guile-2.0.14-r3 was marked stable my regular @world updates always include a warning that updating guile is being skipped due to dependency conflicts. The conflict is elinks-0.12_pre6-r1 contains the dependency guile? ( >=dev-scheme/guile-1.6.4-r1[deprecated,discouraged] ) and guile-2.0.14-r3 no longer has the "discouraged USE flag. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.have dev-scheme/guile-1.8.8-r3:12/8 and www-client/elinks-0.12_pre6-r1:0 installed on a (mostly) stable system 2.emerge --sync 3.emerge -uD @world Actual Results: WARNING: One or more updates/rebuilds have been skipped due to a dependency conflict: dev-scheme/guile:12 (dev-scheme/guile-2.0.14-r3:12/22::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) conflicts with >=dev-scheme/guile-1.6.4-r1[deprecated,discouraged] required by (www-client/elinks-0.12_pre6-r1:0/0::gentoo, installed) ^^^^^^^^^^^ >=dev-scheme/guile-1.8:12/8= required by (sys-devel/make-4.2.1:0/0::gentoo, installed) ^^^^^^ >=dev-scheme/guile-1.8:12/8=[networking] required by (net-libs/gnutls-3.5.15:0/30::gentoo, installed) ^^^^^^ Expected Results: guile-2.0.14-r3 installed in place of guile-1.8.8-r3 Possibly elinks rebuilt. I looked at the related ebuilds. It appears that for guile-1.8.8-r3 the "discouraged" USE flag is a no-op wrt elinks since elinks requires both "deprecated" and "discouraged". It appears to me that the elinks ebuild(s) should be updated to remove "discouraged" as a requirement for >=guile-1.8.8-r3. I have not tested this.

Could you test whether elinks builds at all with guile2: - re-emerge elinks with USE=-guile - upgrade guile2 - try to manually emerge elinks: USE=guile emerge /path/to/elinks-0.12_pre6-r1.ebuild install Thanks.

I verified that it was built with --with-guile. I then copied elinks directory to my local overlay, copied the -r1 ebuild to -r98. Edited that to delete the offending ",discouraged" and did emerge -u elinks. This picked up my -r98 version and built and installed it without complaint (with USE=guile*). This version seems to run the same as the earlier ones. To be truthful, I am not sure exactly what the guile support is or how to force it to be used. For the record here is the diff between the two ebuilds diff *r1* *r98* 30c30 < guile? ( >=dev-scheme/guile-1.6.4-r1[deprecated,discouraged] ) --- > guile? ( >=dev-scheme/guile-1.6.4-r1[deprecated] ) DF
Thanks for reporting back! So it still works with guile-2.0. guile is GNU's variant of the Scheme language and is often used for extensions. It is one of the languages that can be used to script elinks (others are lua, javascript, ruby, ...). So unless you plan to write hook scripts in guile you can safely disable the guile use flag. See http://elinks.or.cz/documentation/html/manual.html-chunked/ch14.html for some description on what can be scripted in elinks. While elinks still works with guile-2.0, it is broken with guile-2.2. I will look into fixing that. For now, as a workaround, just disable the guile use flag.

Any update?
By now, this bug only applies to the stable version www-client/elinks-0.12_pre6-r1 . All newer versions do not required the "discouraged" use flag for dev-scheme/guile.

If it's ready for stabilisation (it should be?), we can file a bug a few days early and just CC arches when it's time).
