Hey.

I just did a quick search and found nothing abotu this in the forums. I'd report this as an ebuild bug, but I'm not entirely sure yet, so I need your input on whether or not this really is a bug...

On my last emerge -up world, I was surprised to find that emerge wanted to compile and essentially downgrade my gnome-panel to version 1.4.2-r2.

I did a little searching and found the culprit to be xchat as seen below.

Code:

# emerge -up xchat

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild    U ] gnome-base/gnome-panel-1.4.2-r2 [2.2.0.1-r1]
[ebuild    U ] net-irc/xchat-1.8.11 [1.8.10-r1]


Xchat is for some reason requiring an old version of gnome-panel, and trying to force its downgrade.

So.. Is this a bug, SHould I report it as such?

Thanks,
Matt

It's not a bug. Atleast not as long as portage can maintain both versions for you. If portage
unmerges the newer version (ie actually "downgrades") gnome-libs then you can say it's a bug
for in that case, this particular xchat ebuild shouldn't be out in portage.

Oh..I was convinced that was going to unmerge my 2.2 version gnome panel. I guess I was wrong.

Thanks for the help,
Matt
