I have emerged alsa-0.9.8, (alsa-driver, alsa-lib, alsa-tools, alsa-utils), and the current stable is 0.9.2
Originally emerge -puv world wanted to downgrade alsa.
So I changed /var/cache/edb/world from:
media-libs/alsa-lib
to:
>=media-libs/alsa-lib-0.9.8
That stopped emerge -puv world complaining, but emerge -puvD world still lists it.
So I tried masking it in /etc/portage/package.mask:
<=media-libs/alsa-lib-0.9.8
It then won't complete an emerge -puvD world, stating:
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=media-libs/alsa-lib-0.5.10b" have been masked.
!!! (dependency required by "media-sound/esound-0.2.32" [ebuild])
Why? Why does it do this? esound only asks for:
alsa? ( >=media-libs/alsa-lib-0.5.10b )
Yes, I have greater than asla-lib-0.5.10b [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How can I get it to never mention alsa-lib again, until a version greater than 0.9.8 comes out? (which i'll probably have to emerge manually, so forever basically).
