Hello list,

This box acts as an emerge server for a 32-bit Atom. So I NFS-mount the Atom's 
portage tree in a 32-bit chroot, build the packages it needs and then emerge 
the packages on the Atom.

This morning I found something odd: the Atom wanted to emerge perl 5.24, even 
though 5.26 was already present, so I got a long list of clashes. This is the 
emerge command on the Atom:

emerge -auDvUK --jobs=2 --load-average=4 --changed-use --changed-deps \
            --with-bdeps=y --nospinner --keep-going world

The solution was to delete the 5.24 package left over from an earlier emerge. 
All was then well.

It looks as though the -K switch caused portage to want to emerge the package 
even though it wasn't indicated by the update. Is it supposed to do that?

Regards,
Peter.
