No, portage doesn't handle this particular case very well. You have |
| 29 |
something on your system that depends on |
| 30 |
<=media-libs/gst-plugins-0.8.10 (use --tree to find this), so when you |
| 31 |
have 0.8.11 installed, portage needs to downgrade it to satisfy the |
| 32 |
dependancy. The bug (already reported on bugs.gentoo.org for a long |
| 33 |
time) is when you have 0.8.10 installed, it sees that there is an |
| 34 |
upgrade available, and tries to merge it. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
The workaround is: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
echo "# pkg foo requires gst-plugins < 0.8.11" >>/etc/portage/package.mask |
| 39 |
echo "=media-libs/gst-plugins-0.8.11" >>/etc/portage/package.mask |
