[SOLVED]Why 2x webkit-gtk

[Clad in Sky]

I have a strange issue. I've noticed that when I do a world update portage pulls in both
net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.48.5-r411 and
net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.48.5-r600

Since it is one of the packages that take longest to compile, I was wondering why that was and thought some package depended on r411 for some reason. But when I use equery depends I get this:

Code: Select all

equery depends =net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.48.5-r411
 * These packages depend on net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.48.5-r411:

Any idea why these same packages seem to depend on both versions of webkit-gtk?

r411 is gtk+-3, r600 is gtk-4 ; apps need what they need

Oh, and equery d is lying to you that different versions/slots depend when they don't. It takes shortcuts and does poor comparisons here. emerge --pretend --verbose --depclean of each slot shows what really depends.

Thanks.

Still a bit weird. Depclean would remove r600. But I've had this problem for a long while now and r600 was never picked up by depclean before.

This is not a problem. When two versions can coexist they reside in different slots. This is what's happening here. As grknight mentioned, r411 links against gtk+3, r600 against gtk+4. One package depend on one, another on the other.

If you mean depclean picking r600 is weird, it's not. That means you either uninstalled something that depended on it, or something else that depended on it is not necessity anymore so they are picked for clean up altogether.

[So... I'm still at a loss here.
emerge --depclean would remove net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.48.5-r600 without trouble... next time I do emerge --update --deep --changed-use world it pulls it back.]

Turns out it was in my world file.

I can't investigate now but please post your emerge info. If you don't use the binhost, use quickpkg to make a backup copy of it, unmerge it and when you run the world update add -t and post the output.

I'll get back to it tomorrow.

Thank you very much. I changed the topic back to solved.
