1 Hi,
2
3 I have opened a bug for this [1], but am not sure, how the stabilization policies are, and are point to this list.
4
5 To quote from the bug report:
6 > I'm not sure if this a bug, but as far as I know on a stable system such packages should fit together. Currently, app-backup/borgbackup needs dev-python/msgpack-0.5.6, while dev-python/msgpack-0.6.2 is stable.

8 > As I direct consequence, portage complains about this in a normal update.
9 > Emerging a newer borgbackup seems to fix the error (as the dependency on msgpack is gone).
10
11 > Reproducible: Always
12
13 > Steps to Reproduce:
14 > 1. emerge borgbackup msgpack
15 > Actual Results:
16 > Should work.
17
18 > Expected Results:
19 > Conflicts.

21 This is not a support request. I know how to fix it for my installation. This is a request/info for fixing it upstream (if this is against the Gentoo stabilization policy).

23 Best,
