Hi there! |

Some may remember me from posting here often. But since a year, I have a |
| 4 |
new life, and much less time for sitting at my computer. Sigh. And my |
| 5 |
beloved Gentoo got a little outdated. |
| 6 |
|

So, a @world update does not work. I thought I give emerge -e @world a |
| 8 |
try, this should sort out the problems, but this also does not go well. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I don't want to bother you with the whole lot of output emerge gives me, |
| 11 |
and just ask a specific question at the moment. I get the 'Multiple |
| 12 |
package instances within a single package slot have been pulled into the |
| 13 |
dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict' message, and several |
| 14 |
affected packages. One example is claws: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
mail-client/claws-mail:0 |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
(mail-client/claws-mail-3.9.0-r1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) |
| 19 |
pulled in by ~mail-client/claws-mail-3.9.0 required by |
| 20 |
(mail-client/claws-mail-address_keeper-1.0.7::gentoo, ebuild scheduled |
| 21 |
for merge) |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
(mail-client/claws-mail-3.9.2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) |
| 24 |
pulled in by (no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in |
| 25 |
this slot) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Looking at the ebuild, I see that claws-mail-address_keeper rdepends on |
| 28 |
claws-mail-3.9.0. But being on ~amd86, 3.9.2 would be current. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
I can solve this by masking versions greater than 3.9.0. Two questions: |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Why can't portage deal with this itself, and simply install the highest |
| 33 |
version that fulfills all requirements? |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
And how do I notice an update to claws-mail-address_keeper that would |
| 36 |
allow a newer version of claws-mail? Other than remembering those masks |
| 37 |
and go through them once in a while? |
| 38 |

Similar problems happen with sys-boot/syslinux, pulled in by |
| 40 |
sys-boot/unetbootin, media-sound/jack-audio-connection-kit, pulled in by |
| 41 |
app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-soundlibs, and all dev-qt packages, where I |
| 42 |
did not yet figure out what to do. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
I am running portage 2.2.7. |
