 |
|
I stumbled over this in (chrooted) unstable Gentoo : | Code: | $> equery d x11-misc/shared-mime-info
dev-libs/glib-2.32.0 (x11-misc/shared-mime-info)
$> equery d dev-libs/glib
x11-misc/shared-mime-info-1.0 (>=dev-libs/glib-2)
|
Now I'm wondering how portage handled this during installation time ?
Or were 1 or 2 of the ebuilds changed after I installed 1 of the 2 packages ?

Look at the glib ebuild. The shared-mime-info dependency is defined as PDEPEND.

Post-Merge Dependencies
The PDEPEND variable specifies dependencies which must be merged after the package. This is sometimes used for plugins which have a dependency upon the package being merged. Generally PDEPEND should be avoided in favour of RDEPEND except where this will create circular dependency chains.
