I just emerged cdrtools 1.11.29, had 1.11.28 before. Everything went fine. Then I tried emerge --pretend clean, and for cdrtools, it says: selected: 1.11.29 protected: 1.11.28 (so it wants to delete the new version and keep the old one!) prune instead of clean does the same. I grepped the portage trees for dependencies on 1.11.28, but as far as I can tell, there are none. What's going on? How can I find out what is protecting 1.11.28? How do I overcome the situation?
Cdrtools version 1.11.29 has been masked due to bug #6425.
see Bug 6425 and Bug 3903 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 3903 ***
Please undo the masking of 1.11.29: a) Bug 6425 happens for *both* 1.11.28 and 1.11.29. There is no reason for having 1.11.29 masked and 1.11.28 not masked. b) I have kernel krypto/gentoo 2.4.19r7 as described in bug 6425, and I'm *not* affected by the bug.
apparently it's been unmasked already.
Something is still broken. Just rsync'ed the portage tree (cdrtools definitely not masked in current tree), emerged a new portage (2.0.28), tried "emerge --pretend clean", same effect: It want's to delete 1.11.29 and keep 1.11.28!
Installing 1.11.30 did the trick: 28 and 29 both got cleaned afterwards.
