Hi all, This morning I got
centaur ~ # emerge -vDuNp world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! <snip/> [ebuild UD] kde-base/pykde4-4.5.1 [4.5.1-r1] USE="semantic-desktop (-aqua) -debug -doc -examples (-kdeenablefinal) (-kdeprefix)" 0 kB [1=>0] <snip/> Total: 9 packages (7 upgrades, 1 downgrade, 1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 10,550 kB Portage tree and overlays: [0] /usr/portage [1] /var/lib/layman/kde I decided that I did not want to go back to 4.5.1 so I added =kde-base/pykde4-4.5.1 to /etc/portage/package.mask. To my utmost surprise, I got the exact same result as before when running the above emerge command again. I tried it with one of the other upgrades mentioned and package.mask had the expected result. So I'm confused. Why is package.mask not having any (apparent) effect for pykde4? How do I prevent the downgrade? Cheers, Hilco
