This is the normal course of events when you do something like this: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge some-masked-package then emerge -up world At this point, Portage pretends the masked version of 'some-masked-package' does not exist and wants to install the highest versioned installable candidate. The D means downgrade, I assume. Ideally, Portage wouldn't want to downgrade these packages. I think the "sticky flags" feature being worked on will solve this problem. A workaround is to inject the lower versions so Portage believes they are already installed: emerge -i sys-devel/perl-5.6.1-r7 app-crypt/gnupg-1.0.7 net-www/mozilla-1.0.1-r3 - - Robert -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.1.90-nr1 (Windows XP) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE9/R1Abv6Y11NqSv8RAqbmAJ9VF1Y/kmn54lvDsBNbZvGRtTCVGACgzcWx on6ojrFMoMlII20NV+2DVGo= =qf1t -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
