|
|
Hi all,
Code: | bash-2.05b# emerge -Up webalizer
>>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild U ] media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r3 [2.1.3-r2]
[ebuild N ] media-libs/libgd-1.8.3-r6
[ebuild N ] app-admin/webalizer-2.01.10-r2
|
Why does webalizer want to downgrade freetype to 1.3.1 (from 2.1.3), even though I specified the -U (upgrade only) flag?
Thanks! |

I don't see a -U option in emerge. Sometimes they remove cool stuff from portage. I'm still wondering where /var/log/emerge/* went. I selectively add ~x86 packages in (such as mysql, smartmontools, and gcc-config (because the stable one wasn't working!)). |

It doesn't want to downgrade (else it'd be marked "UD") but it's using freetype-1 instead of freetype-2 so it's going to install the "old" freetype beside the "new" one that you already have, so it's safe.
And yes, there's a -U option, try 'emerge --help', it's always more up-to-date than 'man emerge'
Code: |
--upgradeonly (-U short option)
Updates packages, but excludes updates that would result in a
lower version of the package being installed. SLOTs are
considered at a basic level.
