Hi guys,


I'll post here my recent troubles and tribulations with up-to-date portage

(emerged July 22nd so far)



1) Portage doesn't allow re-installing a package with an overlay switch naturally (easily) anymore


emerge =pulseaudio-9999* =firefox-40.0_beta7*::open-overlay =firefox-bin-40.0_beta7*::open-overlay

!!! Enabling --newuse and --update might solve this conflict.
!!! If not, it might help emerge to give a more specific suggestion.

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in
the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
not be installed simultaneously. You may want to try a larger value of
the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if
that will solve this conflict automatically.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man
page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.



That's one of the blockers that causes grieve during would system or world updates

I've got 1200 (or probably now close to 1300-1500 packages here and the switch to the abi_x86_32 doesn't make things easier)




The only "remedy" that works is --nodeps


emerge =pulseaudio-9999* =firefox-40.0_beta7*::open-overlay =firefox-bin-40.0_beta7*::open-overlay -uN --nodeps -a

Well, I'm fine with the recent change in Portage's behavior - but then, by all means, also introduce an option to allow overlay-switch


What really bothers me by currently having to rely on --nodeps, I have to type in all packages by hand or at least extract it from the emerge output by some kind of script





2) Portage forces me to mask & unmask certain groups of packages which I don't want (and know better to avoid)

more on that later (in case I encounter it again, I'm past mid-way through world update after several months of not updating the system - which always worked out in the past - with a little more work)

It's gone to hell since multilib-in-bash got pushed to main tree; really since the eclasses appeared, being worked out in the main tree, not in an overlay.
