1 Hi,
2
3 I'm puzzled again by portage's logic.
4
5 When trying to emerge sys-fs/udisks-1.0.2-r4
6 it wants to downgrade sys-fs/udev from 171 to 168-r2 and
7 sys-block/parted from 3.0 to 2.4
8
9 The udisks' ebuild contains
10 >=sys-fs/udev-147[extras]
11 >=sys-block/parted-1.8.8[device-mapper]
12
13 sys-fs/udev hasn't an 'extra' use flag and
14 sys-block/parted-3.0 has been emerged with the device-mapper
15 use flag.
16
17 But why does portage try to downgrade these to packages?
18
19 Thanks for shedding some light on this one,
20 Helmut.
