Dear all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Is it normal that emerge, during its dependency resolution, only considers the latest version of a package? |
| 4 |
If yes, is there a way to tell emerge to consider all unmasked versions? |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I first noticed this behavior on a old version of the package tree, where |
| 7 |
- sys-auth/polkit-113-r4 had REQUIRED_USE="?? ( elogind systemd )" |
| 8 |
- sys-auth/polkit-115-r3 had REQUIRED_USE="^^ ( consolekit elogind systemd )" |
| 9 |
And emerge failed right away saying that sys-auth/polkit-115-r3 could be installed (because its use flags wasn't configured). |
| 10 |
I then tested with some testing ebuild, and the current version of portage has the same behavior. |

Best, |
