I hope my continued reports on "emerge -U" are neither out of place
nor too tiresome.  Today, I "emerge sync"'d, tried "emerge -Up --deep
world" and got the following error:


% emerge -Up --deep world
>>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies \
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "=gnome-extra/gal-0.24*" have been masked.
!!!    (dependency required by "gnome-extra/gtkhtml-1.1.10" [ebuild])

!!! Problem with ebuild gnome-extra/gtkhtml-1.1.10
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.

!!! Depgraph creation failed.


Then I checked more specifically with:


% emerge -Up --deep gtkhtml
>>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies \
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "=gnome-extra/gal-0.24*" have been masked.
!!!    (dependency required by "gnome-extra/gtkhtml-1.1.10" [ebuild])

!!! Error calculating dependancies. Please correct.


Then I tried:


% ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -Up --deep gtkhtml


and this worked fine and printed a list in which NEITHER gal nor
gtkhtml appeared.


My guess is that "emerge -U --deep" is not prepared to investigate
~arch masked dependencies eventhough their are (obviously) installed.

Again it seems to me that this violates the intended purpose of -U
which is to conveniently upgrade a Gentoo installation where some
masked packages may have been installed.

Is the current behaviour a design decision or a "not implemented yet"
corner case of emerge?

Cheers,

I've been watching this thread http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=303720
which echos what I've seen myself: -U seems to be flakey.  I'd like to try
to fix this but I don't want to reinvent the wheel.  Is someone already
working on this problem?  Is version 2.0 about to come out?

If the answers are 'no' and 'no', does anyone know the current state?
It seems that a fix involves  is_newer_ver_installed() in /usr/bin/emerge
and xmatch() in portage.py.  They look a little cryptic.

It seems to me, perhaps nievely, that all that is needed is a list of
installed packages and a method for ordering version numbers.

Peace, Jim Bowlin

In absence of a dev, I can say that the source for the 2_1 branch ( nThe
latest one ) claimed NOT to support the no-downgrade. Unless someone
wrote somethingin the last week, I think this is where it stands.
However, you can always priv-mess carpaski. He the man. ;)

They'd be better as bugs. List mail and forums get no where near the
attention IRC and bugs.gentoo.org get.

-U is not perfect yet and is presently on the back burner, awaiting
a major cleanup effort in 2.1. It's no where near critical, not
anywhere near easy to implement, and therefore isn't particularly high
on the to-do list.
