 |

I don't want to install xfree 4.3, so I put some entries in the 'world' file like so:
| Code: |
robt@tal robt $ grep ^= /var/cache/edb/world
=x11-base/xfree-4.2.1-r2
=media-libs/freetype-2.1.3-r2
|
But when I do emerge -up world, it wants to emerge xfree 4.3:
| Code: |
robt@tal robt $ sudo emerge -up world
Password:
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild U ] media-libs/freetype-2.1.4 [2.1.3-r2]
[ebuild U ] x11-misc/ttmkfdir-3.0.9 [3.0.4]
[ebuild U ] x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r2 [4.2.1-r2]
[ebuild U ] dev-lang/tk-8.3.4-r1 [8.3.4]
[ebuild U ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r4 [2.4.20-r2]

What am I doing wrong?

You could put package.mask in a portage overlay, and do the same.
Contents of package.mask in overlay:
>=xfree-4.3.0 |

Have you also made sure that in your USE flags in /etc/make.conf you have
by any chance? This should stop portage from trying to install the X components of any packages you want to merge. |

Thanks for the advice. In the meantime, it has started working! I believe it started working after a recent update to portage. I find it odd, since I'd think this would be a widely known problem, and I was assuming it was my fault ...
