 So in theory there should be no way of installing them together (given
 that eggs is not slotted). This works if I try to install them in one go.

 This second behavior looks wrong to me, as it downgrades the RDEPEND of
 spam and thus spam becomes unusable.

Try: emerge -1av --complete-graph bacon

Unless --complete-graph is specified emerge won't pull in the entire
dependency graph, thus won't notice the dependency-spec of
app-test/spam. 
Using -D combined with the world set when updating your system yields
the same result as that also pulls in the entire dependency graph. 

Unless the entire dependency graph is pulled in emerge only tries to
satisfy the dependencies of the packages given on the commandline, and
since there's no connection between app-test/spam and app-test/bacon,
and emerge doesn't do reverse deps when adding something to the
dep-graph, it doesn't notice that app-test/bacon and app-test/spam has
conflicting dependencies

Using --complete-graph is noticably slower since it slows down
dependency calculations, but it should (IMHO) really be the default
since these conflicts shows _before_ anything breaks.

 What happens if you use
 emerge -1avD bacon
 

Does not work either.

 Yeah, it does look wrong, but I don't think it is.  Ideally, I suppose
 eggs-1 could depend on !=app-test/spam-1 and so on, but that requires
 coordination among developers.  I suppose there is a bug in the ebuilds
 because they should be set up so that if you have spam installed, you
 can't install bacon and so on.

I think, this would be the wrong way., as they block each other already
because of the RDEPEND. Else one would have to check the whole tree for
a conflicting RDEPEND and then adding a whole bunch of blocks.

Why exactly would you want to use --oneshot for a leaf package that is
not depended on by any other package in the world set? If spam IS
depended on by any other package (recursively) in the world set, it will
be pulled in by --complete-graph, but that's not the case here if i
understand it correctly, thus it's a package that you explicitly wanted
installed, thus it belongs in the world set, and you should thus not use
--oneshot for it.

Hi,

(The following is done with portage-2.2_rc33)

I created some small test-packages for the following usecase:

Package spam rdepends on =eggs-2.
Package bacon rdepends on =eggs-1.

So in theory there should be no way of installing them together (given
that eggs is not slotted). This works if I try to install them in one go.

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

app-test/eggs:0

  ('ebuild', '/', 'app-test/eggs-2', 'merge') pulled in by
=app-test/eggs-2 required by ('ebuild', '/', 'app-test/spam-1', 'merge')

  ('ebuild', '/', 'app-test/eggs-1', 'merge') pulled in by
=app-test/eggs-1 required by ('ebuild', '/', 'app-test/bacon-1',
'merge')


It looks different, if spam is installed and I try to install bacon
additionally:

# emerge -1av bacon

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild UD] app-test/eggs-1 [2] 0 kB [1]
[ebuild  N] app-test/bacon-1  0 kB [1]


This second behavior looks wrong to me, as it downgrades the RDEPEND of
spam and thus spam becomes unusable.

René
