Subject: [gentoo-dev] another snag: emerge -Up --deep gtkhtml

1 I hope my continued reports on "emerge -U" are neither out of place
2 nor too tiresome. Today, I "emerge sync"'d, tried "emerge -Up --deep
3 world" and got the following error:
4
5
6 % emerge -Up --deep world
7 >>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.
8
9 These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
10
11 Calculating world dependencies \
12 !!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "=gnome-extra/gal-0.24*" have been masked.
13 !!! (dependency required by "gnome-extra/gtkhtml-1.1.10" [ebuild])
14
15 !!! Problem with ebuild gnome-extra/gtkhtml-1.1.10
16 !!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.
17
18 !!! Depgraph creation failed.
19
20
21 Then I checked more specifically with:
22
23
24 % emerge -Up --deep gtkhtml
25 >>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.
26
27 These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
28
29 Calculating dependencies \
30 !!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "=gnome-extra/gal-0.24*" have been masked.
31 !!! (dependency required by "gnome-extra/gtkhtml-1.1.10" [ebuild])
32
33 !!! Error calculating dependancies. Please correct.
34
35
36 Then I tried:
37
38
39 % ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -Up --deep gtkhtml
40
41
42 and this worked fine and printed a list in which NEITHER gal nor
43 gtkhtml appeared.
44
45
46 My guess is that "emerge -U --deep" is not prepared to investigate
47 ~arch masked dependencies eventhough their are (obviously) installed.
48
49 Again it seems to me that this violates the intended purpose of -U
50 which is to conveniently upgrade a Gentoo installation where some
51 masked packages may have been installed.
52
53 Is the current behaviour a design decision or a "not implemented yet"
54 corner case of emerge?
55
56 Cheers,
