Bug 95254 – emerge --ask --fetch should ignore blockers

• Status: VERIFIED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Markku 2005-06-06 12:42:17 UTC]

I am trying to do 'emerge -uaDvf world', but there are two blockers preventing it:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[blocks B     ] <=x11-themes/gnome-themes-2.8.2 (is blocking
x11-themes/gtk-engines-2.6.3)
[blocks B     ] <app-admin/gnome-system-tools-1.1.91 (is blocking
app-admin/system-tools-backends-1.2.0)
...
[ebuild     U ] x11-themes/gtk-engines-2.6.3 [2.2.0] 458 kB
...
[ebuild     U ] x11-themes/gnome-themes-2.10.0 [2.8.2] -accessibility -debug
2,509 kB
...
[ebuild  N    ] app-admin/system-tools-backends-1.2.0  -debug 520 kB
...
[ebuild     U ] app-admin/gnome-system-tools-1.2.0-r1 [1.0.2-r1] -debug -nfs
-samba 1,738 kB
...

Total size of downloads: 118,725 kB


Both blockers would be updated to newer version during install, but I wouldn't
want remove them just for downloading newer versions.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Couldn't fetch newer versions

Expected Results:  
Should fetch them

No, they would not be updated b/c they are blockers. You

No, they would not be updated b/c they are blockers. You´d need to unmerge them.

Bad wording, that's what I meant...

I've fixed this specific bug, but please don't complain that it fetches 
blocked packages twice.    
  
[blocks B     ] <=x11-themes/gnome-themes-2.8.2 (is blocking  
x11-themes/gtk-engines-2.6.3)  
[ebuild     U ] x11-themes/gtk-engines-2.6.3 [2.2.0] 458 kB 
 
To be specific, fetching of gtk-engines in the above will be attempted twice. 
The first will succeed and the second will find that the package is already 
there. The amount of work required to correct this fault is not worth the gain 
in the portage-2.0 line. 

[Comment 5 Jason Stubbs (RETIRED) 2005-06-07 08:50:19 UTC]

Scratch that. I got the duplicate fetching fixed with a relatively easy hack 
to the current mess too.

Thanks Jason, that was quick.

[Comment 7 Jason Stubbs (RETIRED) 2005-07-14 05:48:01 UTC]

Fixed on or before 2.0.51.22-r1 

[Comment 8 Jason Stubbs (RETIRED) 2005-07-14 06:58:43 UTC]

Looking through the batch of bugs, I'm not sure that some of these are 
actually fixed in stable. Others, the requirements have possibly changed after 
the initial fix was committed. 
 
If you think this bug has been closed incorrectly, please reopen or ask that 
it be reopened.
