No, the 5.26 package was there alongside the 5.24, and portage didn't want to downgrade. Once I'd removed the 5.24 package portage was no longer confused. I have checked that the host and client have identical world and package.* files. Also make.conf, except for things like --jobs and buildpkg. -- Regards, Peter.

Was there a suitable package for 5.26 in $PKGDIR? The -K switch forces portage to use a package, unlike -k, so if the exact 5.26 version you had installed had been removed from the tree in favour of an updated/fixed version, portage would have to downgrade if you hadn't built the new package. -- Neil Bothwick Weird enough for government work. pgpM7QQ0xTpEq.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature

[gentoo-user] Odd portage quirk
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.
