 |
|
For some reasons portage wants to downgrade Vuze from version 4.8.1.2-r1 and down to 4.5.1.0. A lot older version that is not nearly as good as the newer one.
I get this message when I run 'emerge world -uDNpv'.
| Code: | (net-p2p/vuze-4.8.1.2-r1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) conflicts with
~net-p2p/vuze-4.5.1.0 required by (net-p2p/vuze-coreplugins-4.5.1.0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)
|
I do not have Vuze-4.5.1.0 installed on my system. So why I am getting downgraded to a lot older version? Version 4.8.1.2 is also outdated by several new releases by now according to latest information on this program.

you need to unmask its core plugs....
| Code: |
echo "net-p2p/vuze-coreplugins" >> /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords
|
then it should upgrade the other rather than downgrade the vuze.
the old version is stabilized, the new versions not. id not worry about running "unstable" software. |

You have a bad habit of blindly suggesting that people mix unstable software with stable, without knowing anything about their system or situation. I have encouraged you in the past to stop this, but I guess I'll try again.
Stop giving out potentially dangerous advice. It may not be dangerous in this EXACT situation, and nobody may be bitten THIS time, but it is simply NOT good advice to offer in general without knowing more about peoples' setups. Think more; speak less. If you are not certain of a solution, at least admit so. The regulars around here know to take your guessing/advice with a grain of salt, but newcomers in general do not. I know you are trying to be genuinely helpful, and that is awesome and highly appreciated. But try to limit your assistance to things that are part of your core knowledge set. Sooner or later, you're going to cause serious harm to someone's system (again, meaning the best), and it's going to be very unfortunate. |

If you accept keyword for one then you need to also accept keywords on its dependencies.
You likely have unmasked the specific version but not its revisions; therefore, because I did a revision bump to fix up that package it downgrades it because you don't accept the revision.
Use ~ instead of = next time in package.accept_keywords and it will accept revisions. |

I have fixed my 'package.keywords' file. I changed this lines.
| Code: | =net-p2p/vuze-coreplugins-4.8.1.2
=net-p2p/vuze-4.8.1.2-r1
|
Then it started to work properly. Now I get this when I run 'emerge vuze vuze-coreplugins -pv'.
| Code: | emerge vuze vuze-coreplugins -pv
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
