Posted: Fri May 24, 2013 8:05 am Post subject: xorg conflicts with existing packages |
|
|
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!

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! _________________ Unix is user friendly. It is only careful selecting its friends. |

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