Bug #157361 clearly is a dupe of bug #1343. There's no question about that. If |
| 17 |
you upgrade to Portage 2.1.2 (which will go stable soon) you'll find that it |
| 18 |
will detect that two versions of mozilla-firefox within the same slot |
| 19 |
(firefox only has one slot) are being pulled in and hence it will die up |
| 20 |
front while telling you about the problem. It still won't be able to solve it |
| 21 |
without your help though. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
So... it will be a lot easier for me to tell you what your options are wrt. |
| 24 |
working around this bug if you post the output of: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
# emerge -Dup world --tree --verbose |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Wrt. bug #165709 I'd probably have pointed you towards app-portage/eix and |
| 29 |
resolved it as WONTFIX or even INVALID as I really don't see the point in |
| 30 |
that feature request. There are a lot of tools including eix that are a lot |
| 31 |
more suitable for queries about what is stable and what isn't. I do |
| 32 |
understand jakubs reasoning for thinking it's triggered by bug #157361 and |
| 33 |
hence marking it a dupe of that though. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I think reopening the same bug 3 times is a terrible idea. It clearly doesn't |
| 36 |
help anyone. The most obvious options after the first time are to CC the |
| 37 |
dev-portage@g.o alias on the bug to make the portage devs aware of it |
| 38 |
(while commenting about why you do that), or to post a mail here, on the |
| 39 |
gentoo-dev-portage@ mailing list (this is a feature request for portage after |
| 40 |
all) or log onto irc and talk to the portage devs in #gentoo-portage on |
| 41 |
freenode. |
