For past couple of weeks as I was doing emerge --sync and emerge -uDNp I've
noticed that libgsf has "jumping" versions. That is one week it's 1.12.0
another 1.10.0 and it swings from one to another. Does anybody know what
might trigger this behavior?
There's a portage bug that fits that description:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13632. When I encounter this I simply
package mask the lower versions.
mkdir /etc/portage
echo "<gnome-extra/libgsf-1.12.0" >> /etc/portage/package.mask
That is not the correct way as this bug is caused by packages not
functioning correctly with *newer* versions. In this case gnumeric doesn't
like libgsf versions above 1.10.
If you think gnumeric does work well with the newest version of libgsf and
that the package maintainer is setting wrongly the dependency version,
please file a bug.
