[gentoo-pms] Blockers in any-of groups

[Ulrich Mueller]

Hi all,
PMS says in [1]: "A blocker is considered to be matched if its
associated package dependency specification is not matched."

So if I want to block against a version range, I would expect the
following to work:

RDEPEND="|| ( !>=app-misc/foo-3 !<=app-misc/foo-5 )"

For foo-2, the first version specification is not matched, so the ||
group should be matched. Similar for foo-6 and the second one. Whereas
foo-4 matches both specifications and should be blocked.

However, Portage doesn't seem to work that way and reports a blocker
against foo-6.

Do I interpret the spec incorrectly, or is it a bug in Portage?
