That being said, if you are not interested to ever disable any of these two USE-flags, there is no reason to ever install gtk+:3 from the mv overlay. (The whole point of gtk+:3 in the mv overlay is to make this functionality - hence the dependencies it brings - optional.) I suggest that in this case you put x11-libs/gtk+:3::mv into your package mask instead of a particular version mask.

[gentoo-user] Where be me icons?
=\ Because each update basically rebuilds the same three or four super-packages (libreoffice, chromium, the kde collection, etc) all of which are version bumped every 12 milliseconds just to annoy ppl like me, and because I had such a Good Time (tm) last SEVERAL times I tried to update, I decided to put it off for six months Well later that day X'doze crashes after an uptime of about 30 days... (So I updated, there were problems but nothing worse than par...) Also, I realize that Linux is going to go through a Dark Age and probably be destroyed and re-built several times before emerging again as a usable operating system, I am going to be climbing up from my previous freeze at 4.15 to 4.18 which I will probably have to nurse through 5-6 years of war and upheval... (I am currently on 4.16, will try to go to 4.17 at next boot...) The biggest problem I have right now is all the button-icons in fvwm have gone poof. =( I didn't do anything that portage didn't demand I do... The window manager is really not usable without those icons, I know some of them by memory but a 3x3 matrix of blank buttons is not acceptable. The only two window managers available on gentoo, are twm -- which is all you need as an emergency de-fsck tool and fvwm which will do 99% of everything you actually need. -- Please report bounces from this address to a...@numentics.com Powers are not rights.

Well, aside from pinging on IRC you could file a bug. I'm not sure if it is behaving as expected since you already have a masked package installed. I'm actually surprised it didn't try to downgrade gtk+ to an older version, unless something else needs the installed version. Or unless you have it unmasked someplace else. -- Rich

Does the same mask cover both the installed and upgraded version of gtk+? It seems odd to me that emerge would even offer the option to continue if a package was masked. You might want to check with the portage team. The line in my /etc/portage/package.mask says x11-libs/gtk+-3.22.30 For a specific version, you probably want that to be =x11-libs/gtk+-3.22.30 or >=x11-libs/gtk+-3.22.30 although the # in [ebuild U #] x11-libs/gtk+-3.24.1:3::mv [3.22.30:3::gentoo] seems to show it knows it is listed in package.mask.

Thanks. > It is already doing both. It is refusing to install the masked package, which is why it is aborting, and probably suggesting that you unmask it. Likewise the big hash tag in the output is noting that is masked currently. The problem is that you're probably also telling portage something contradictory, like installing some package that requires the newer version of gtk+ (probably from your world set). So, it isn't doing that either, and is giving you a bunch of output. Impossible to guess what the issue is without the full output, but as suggested sticking --tree and --verbose in there would help. That will show the dependency relationships, and also USE flags which might be triggering them. If you have a package masked and nothing else is trying to pull it in, then portage will more quietly ignore it. It is calling the situation to your attention because one way or another it won't be doing something you currently want it to (keeping some other package up-to-date, but also not installing this version of gtk+). -- Rich

This may be a bit off-topic, but I noticed a recent smart TV Android firmware update "removed the media sharing functionality (MTP)". Does this mean MTP is being deprecated?
