[gentoo-user] portage continually wants to remerge gst-plugins-base
portage-2.2.0_alpha43 wants to remerge gst-plugins-base over and over. It gets correctly merged with a world update but still shows up with every world update thereafter. The package is not in world, has a long (20+) list of things that DEPEND on it, and no related USE flags have changed: [nomerge ] media-video/kmplayer-0.11.2c USE=cairo expat handbook npp (-aqua) -debug (-kdeenablefinal) LINGUAS=en_GB -cs -da -de -el -es -et -fr -ga -gl -it -ja -km -ku -lt -lv -mai -nb -nds -nl -nn -pl -pt -pt_BR -ro -ru -sk -sv -tr -uk -zh_CN -zh_TW [nomerge ] media-libs/phonon-4.5.0 USE=gstreamer vlc xine (- aqua) -debug -pulseaudio [nomerge ] media-libs/phonon-gstreamer-4.5.1 USE=alsa - debug [nomerge ]media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta-0.10-r6 USE=X a52 aac alsa dv dvb dvd ffmpeg flac lame mp3 mpeg musepack ogg theora v4l2 vcd vorbis vpx wavpack xv -esd -mythtv -oss -pulseaudio -taglib [nomerge ] media-plugins/gst-plugins-xvideo-0.10.35 [ebuild R] media-libs/gst-plugins-base-0.10.35 USE=orc (- introspection) -nls 0 kB I get the same results using --newuse and --changed-use, and downgrading portage to 2.2.0_alpha41 makes no difference either. @preserved-rebuild, revdep-rebuild also make no difference.

I looked at that bug earlier this morning and thought Nah, how can that be related? Throwing shit randomly at walls in the hope some of it might stick isn't my usual troubleshooting technique so I left it and looked in other more obvious places. But it cured it, and now I'm still wondering How can that be related? p.s. your tip earlier about --changed-use also sorted out this weekend's -hardened clusterfuck with world updates. Thanks :-) -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
