After this annoyed me for a month I did the following with by system in a state with both installed: emerge --deselect www-client/w3m emerge --select virtual/w3m Which stopped the foolishness. >Are the commands I use fishy? >What is the reason of this loop -- other parts of the system will not >be reinstalled over and over again ? In my case, I had installed www-client/w3m explicitly to satisfy a program that was installed outside portage possibly before there was a virtual/w3m. DaveF > >Cheers! >Meino > > > >

[gentoo-user] Installation loop...
Hi, on my system are installed (beside other things, of course... :) [I] virtual/w3m Available versions: 0 Installed versions: 0(03:51:00 AM 04/18/2020) Description: Virtual for the w3m web browser [I] www-client/w3m Available versions: 0.5.3_p20180125 (~)0.5.3_p20190105 {X fbcon gdk-pixbuf gpm imlib libressl lynxkeymap nls nntp ssl unicode xface L10N="de ja"} Installed versions: 0.5.3_p20190105(08:50:56 AM 04/10/2020)(X nls ssl unicode -fbcon -gdk-pixbuf -gpm -imlib -libressl -lynxkeymap -nntp -xface L10N="-de -ja") Homepage:https://github.com/tats/w3m Description: Text based WWW browser, supports tables and frames Normally I do a cleanup after each upgrade/compilation/install like so: emerge --selective=n @preserved-rebuild && emerge --depclean -va && eclean-dist -C -d -v && eix-test-obsolete which removes virtual/w3m then. Next upgrade, which looks liek: eix-sync ; emerge --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y --tree --keep-going --backtrack=30 -v --verbose-conflicts -1 @world it installs virtual/w3m again. And so on. How can I stop this? Are the commands I use fishy? What is the reason of this loop -- other parts of the system will not be reinstalled over and over again ? Cheers! Meino
