$grep hal /p/sys-apps/ivman/ivman-0.5_pre2.ebuild |
| 30 |
=sys-apps/hal-0.4*" |
| 31 |
einfo "existing rules, replace %m with \$hal.volume.mount_point\$ and" |
| 32 |
einfo "replace %d with \$hal.block.device\$. Individual users may also" |
| 33 |

That's the problem right there. It's requiring hal-0.4* specifically, no |
| 35 |
higher, and you have higher so it wants to downgrade you. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
You may wish to consider adding sys-apps/ivman to package.keywords as |
| 38 |
~amd64. This will give you the 0.6.8 version, which deps on |
| 39 |
>=sys-apps/hal-0.4.0. However, a quick grep reveals the following warning |
| 40 |
in the ebuild, so be aware: |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
if has_version "<sys-apps/hal-0.5.0"; then |
| 43 |
einfo "Ivman was built against HAL 0.4.x. If you later upgrade to HAL 0.5," |
| 44 |
einfo "you must re-merge Ivman." |
| 45 |
echo |
| 46 |
else |
| 47 |
einfo "Ivman was built against HAL 0.5.x. If you later downgrade to HAL 0.4," |
| 48 |
einfo "you must re-merge Ivman." |
| 49 |
echo |
