Date: Thu, 6 May 2004 03:24:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <29AF6280-9EFC-11D8-90CF-0003938E7E46@gentoo.org> (raw)
Hi,
I have an annoying bug, caused by a portage deficiency that imho can be
quite easily solved:
Assume the virtual/jdk is satisfied by blackdown-jdk with version-1.3
(meaning: blackdown-jdk-1.3 is installed and provides virtual/jdk-1.3)
The virtual/jdk default implementation is then changed from
blackdown-jdk to ibm-jdk in the users profile.
The user installs a package depending on virtual/jdk-1.4, ibm-jdk with
version 1.4 gets installed.
When the user runs emerge --update world, portage complains there is no
1.4 version of blackdown-jdk.
To make emerge --update world work again, the user has to unmerge
blackdown-jdk. If the user emerges blackdown-jdk again afterwards,
emerge --update world still works.
Shouldn't portage update the virtual provider every time an ebuild
providing a virtual gets installed?
Best regards,
Pieter Van den Abeele
