The 'standard' behaviour (which can be changed by the user) for Paludis when doing "complete" resolutions is that whenever there's a slot of something installed, it will try to bring in the newest version of that package, even if it's in a different slot. This is generally a good thing, since newer versions are supposed to be better than older versions. The problem is that now "newer" versions are being used to mean "with a different Ruby implementation" or "built in a different way", which screws up the meaning. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh --Sig_/ElqGeUecUR+/EVmDRTC+8mI Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk/lzj8ACgkQ96zL6DUtXhET6gCcDrl4JdsuPZDH1qTf/9s9VPvz YjMAn0jX2uwp2E2HeK8ZvVdmmq5Cmofd =S05T -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/ElqGeUecUR+/EVmDRTC+8mI--
