Hi,

premise: I have blocked in package.mas upgrades to xorg-xserver because newer versions apparently fail to properly support acceleration on my savage card. This has worked fine for months!
package.mask:
>x11-base/xorg-server-1.12.4

now since yesterday, when I try to run emerge -Du world, I get:

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

x11-base/xorg-server:0

(x11-base/xorg-server-1.11.4-r2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
(no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot)

(x11-base/xorg-server-1.12.4::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
x11-base/xorg-server:0/0= required by (x11-drivers/xf86-input-keyboard-1.7.0::gentoo, installed)
x11-base/xorg-server:0/0= required by (x11-drivers/xf86-input-mouse-1.9.0::gentoo, installed)
x11-base/xorg-server:0/0= required by (x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.8.0::gentoo, installed)
>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.12[udev] required by (x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.8.0::gentoo, installed)

How may I solve that?

the xf86-input packages mentioned are already installed! and do work, why this change?

with --pretend I see this:

Quote:
[ebuild UD ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.11.4-r2 [1.12.4]


What is going on here? It wants to downgrade my xorg? I have 1.12.4 installed!

Riccardo

I reply to myself.

I have noticed:
xorg-server-1.12.4-r1.ebuild

perhaps my mask needs to be more lenient and allow the upgrade to "r1"

>x11-base/xorg-server-1.12.4-r1

This way, dependencies resolve without conflicts. I'll leave the laptop build for some hours :) and report success or failure!

Instead of using >current-version, perhaps you should use >=first-broken-version so that any further revision bumps are also allowed.
