So I changed /var/cache/edb/world from: media-libs/alsa-lib to: =media-libs/alsa-lib-0.9.8 That stopped emerge -puv world complaining, but emerge -puvD world still lists it. So I tried masking it in /etc/portage/package.mask: =media-libs/alsa-lib-0.9.8 It then won't complete an emerge -puvD world, stating: !!! all ebuilds that could satisfy =media-libs/alsa-lib-0.5.10b have been masked. !!!(dependency required by media-sound/esound-0.2.32 [ebuild]) Why? Why does it do this? esound only asks for: alsa? ( =media-libs/alsa-lib-0.5.10b ) Yes, I have greater than asla-lib-0.5.10b [EMAIL PROTECTED] How can I get it to never mention alsa-lib again, until a version greater than 0.9.8 comes out? (which i'll probably have to emerge manually, so forever basically).

It has been my experience that any necessary downgrades that need to occur are only for a select few with problems - and these are pretty rare. If you are having problems and need to downgrade, then you will know. I have not used anything but an emerge -UD world (weekly) for almost an entire year - without ANY issue about needing to downgrade a package. - -- Matt http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=getsearch=0x7D81740A -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/qpCSZosHVX2BdAoRApiaAJ9XXcEw9IvUDSopw5+6xY72icqGvwCfaHhj aZXj0pviS628fc3EyniZUKk= =cv/9 -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
