[gentoo-user] emerge toggling arts, kdelibs, kwin between 3.4.1 and 3.4.2

[gentoo-user] emerge toggling arts, kdelibs, kwin between 3.4.1 and 3.4.2

[Roy Wright]

Howdy,

I have my system set up to sync every night then send me a notification 
message.
I then examine what has changed and decide when to do the emerge.

For the past week, emerge -uDNv world has been toggling arts, kdelibs, 
and kwin.
What I mean is that if 3.4.1 is installed then it upgrades to 3.4.2 
(which is as expected
since I have these in my package.keywords file).  The problem seems to 
be that when
3.4.2 is installed, emerge wants to downgrade them to 3.4.1.  This 
doesn't make
sense to me.

I'm also at a loss on how to troubleshoot this.

Here's what I can see:

royw-gentoo ~ # emerge -uDNv world -p

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

Hi,
Use the "--tree" option of 'emerge' (or "t" for short), it gives you a
tree-view of the packages, and what is most important the dependencies
even with some installed packages.
Think that when going to 3.4.2 it's a simple upgrade as this is the
latest version, but the Downgrade is due to some installed package which
depends on <=3.4.1-rX and consequently requires a downgrade (see which
one using "--tree").
Check man emerge, etc.

Probably they're pulled as a dependency from a 3.4.1 kde-package.

run:
# equery depends kde-base/arts
# equery depend kde-base/kdelibs
# equery depend  kde-base/kwin

and try to find what's pulling them. Then add it to your package.keywords.

HTH :)

Thank you. 

Unfortunately these three had non-intersecting sets of dependencies. 
I had originally unmasked kde to get 3.4.0, so just decided to go back
to running stable kde.
