[gentoo-user] udisks wants to downgrade udev and parted - but why?

[Helmut Jarausch]

Hi,

I'm puzzled again by portage's logic.

When trying to emerge sys-fs/udisks-1.0.2-r4
it wants to downgrade sys-fs/udev from 171 to 168-r2  and
sys-block/parted from 3.0 to 2.4

The udisks' ebuild contains
>=sys-fs/udev-147[extras]
>=sys-block/parted-1.8.8[device-mapper]

sys-fs/udev hasn't an 'extra' use flag and
sys-block/parted-3.0 has been emerged with the device-mapper
use flag.

But why does portage try to downgrade these to packages?

Thanks for shedding some light on this one,
Helmut.

parted 3.0 is now masked, it broke gparted and others

# Jeroen Roovers <jer@gentoo.org> (5 Jun 2011)
# Masked until bug #370163 is resolved.
>=sys-block/parted-3.0

Anything worth fighting for is worth fighting dirty for.

But sys-fs/udev-168-r2 has an extra use flag thus the dependency is
satisfied and portage wants to downgrade udev.

See bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/348472 for more information.
