But being on ~amd86, 3.9.2 would be current. No, that is not the right assumption. Portage doesn't guess what versions are dependencies, it reads the ebuild and does exactly what the ebuild says. The ebuild for claws-mail-address_keeper say it depends on ~claws-mail-3.9.0, that means any revision of 3.9.0. Portage *must not* decide to use 3.9.1 or 3.9.2, because the ebuild has clearly told it not to. The solution is to get the maintainer to bump the DEPENDS for that plugin, or to use claws-mail-3.9.0, or to stop using that plugin. emerge output is confusing. The last line you quoted is just portage telling you that 3.9.2 would normally be the choice it would make, but the lines above it says it's going to pick 3.9.0 instead,a nd why I can solve this by masking versions greater than 3.9.0. Two questions: No you can't. That will just produce different blockers Why can't portage deal with this itself, and simply install the highest version that fulfills all requirements? See above. It could deal with it if the ebuild didn't tell it something different And how do I notice an update to claws-mail-address_keeper that would allow a newer version of claws-mail?

I would appreciate any pointers on how to deal with this particular blocking. First of all, don't put USE on the command line for emerge. It is not stored and when you do the real emerge the results will be different if you omit the USE. If you leave it in then portage doesn't know you did it and complains bitterly with the next emerge claiming that flags changed. Use make.conf like it is supposed to be used, don't try second-guess portage. Secondly, udev and sysvinit have higher versions marked stable. Portage should just update them but apparently is not. I suspect you have masked them in package.mask to avoid all the recefuss about udev, meaning you have caused your own problem. If you are happy moving to recent udev, then let portage do it. If not, then you are on your own and have to figure out the masking yourself. It will involve masking every new version of software that shows up as a blocker like udev-init-scripts and util-linux. Eventually you will run into an unsolveable conflict, maybe we are even already there nt Thanks, -- Valmor -ND to rebuild system doesn't get you anything extra and usually wants to evaluate half of world as well (usually due to USE=X) You update system if you want to guarantee yourself a consistent toolchain after a gcc or glibc update, or just prior to emerge -e world [snip] [blocks B ] sys-apps/sysvinit-2.88-r4 (sys-apps/sysvinit-2.88-r4 is blocking sys-apps/util-linux-2.22.2) [blocks B ] sys-fs/udev-186 (sys-fs/udev-186 is blocking sys-fs/udev-init-scripts-23) [blocks B ] sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.97-r1 (sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.97-r1 is blocking sys-fs/udev-197-r8) !!!

It seems to get more fun when two real packages decide they want different and mutually incompatible versions of a package then sometimes masking a specified version temporarily seems to work for some I had one recently that simply didn't want to resolve until I decided enough was enough and opted not to bother with the one package triggering a dependency that it liked and half the rest of the system didn't. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
