1 Is there a rule or something else in the way Gentoo is set up that
2 requires/states/recommends that for a package to be marked as stable
3 it is a requirement that all dependencies also be stable?

5 If someone has a basically stable system and can take the time could
6 you possibly try
7
8 emerge -pvDuN rstudio
9
10 and see if it's trying to pull in lots of unstable haskell packages to
11 build rstudio-0.98.490-r1?
12
13 I've had to mask the stable version and use 0.98.490 for quite a long
14 time but I'm wondering if I have something misconfigured that' s
15 causing this.

17 Thanks in advance,
18 Mark
