[gentoo-user] wine emerge wants to downgrade?
Is there some small thing I'm overlooking. It seems that portage thinks that wine-20050930 is newer than the first official release wine-0.9 and therefore wants to 'upgrade' Wine when it's really a downgrade. Does portage need to be informed of something special here? Thanks, Mark lightning ~ # emerge -pv world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done!

There is a bug on b.g.o about the issue, but said issue will ex not be resolved until the maintainer sees how future releases are going to be numbered. For now, just mask (piped to prevent Thunderbird quoting) | app-emulation/wine-0.9 in /etc/portage/package.mask, and that should do it. (It's how I did it).

That's basically how I got it installed. I generally avoid putting these masks in as I seem to forget they are there. :-) Cheers, Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
