I filed a bug because I did what they said. Removed the base, installed 4.2. Next day and emerge -uD world -p wants to downgrade a bunch of stuff to 4.06! I guess I could do an emerge -C on all stuff it wants to downgrade but I'd like to know what broke.

Hi all,

unable to solve a problem with emerging xfce4, please forgive me for consulting
this kind list.
Last week an emerge -uvDa --newuse world upgraded xfce4 from xfce-4.0.6 to 4.2
and it worked fine. Now, another emerge -uvDa --newuse world gives me:

[blocks B     ] xfce-base/xfce4-base (from pkg xfce-base/xfce4-4.2.0)
<snip>


After this removal the emerge -uvDa --newuse world wanted to install
xfce4-base-4.0.6 again and the block was the same as the original one above.

Should I file a bug or is this behavior just because of me trying to do some
silly things?

My suggestion is: this is a bug. I encountered the same problem. I was too lazy to report, so I just did emerge -C on everything in xfce-base and xfce-extra. Then I restarted the emerge.

The developers have screwed up something, so I'm sure they would
appreciate a hint.

hmmm. I just upgraded today. I did a "emerge -C xfce4-base" beforehand and everythin went smoothly from there.

Bill
