 |

I am a user of package.unmask and package.keywords, and have pulled in the masked versions of dbus, hal, and Sun-JDK, but whenever i do a emerge -pv uD world it tries to downgrade hal, dbus and Sun-JDK
| Code: |
[ebuild UD] sys-apps/hal-0.4.7-r2 [0.5.4] -debug -doc -pam_console -pcmcia 0 kB
[ebuild UD] sys-apps/dbus-0.23-r3 [0.36.2] +X -debug +gtk +python +qt +xml2 0 kB

Portage wants to downgrade because you're using experimental software, and if a serious bug is found, the developers hardmask that version until the bug is fixed. When you emerge -uD world, it then downgrades. If you only want portage to upgrade, use emerge -UD world.
Personally, I try to stick with the stable branch, using ~x86 only if I really want a certain package. Also, I have never used emerge -UD world, as I think it's not really that smart to neglace bugs like that, but that's just my 2 cents.  |

It happens because there were API changes between minor versions of HAL and DBus, and stable packages can only work with the stable APIs. You should emerge updated versions of the packages that require the downgrades.
emerge -pvuDt world will tell you who's the culprit. |

Well, I am running Gnome 2.12 and my wife is running KDE 3.5, both of which work quite will with the new HAL & DBUS. So you are saying that there is a package that I have that depends on earlier versions of HAL & DBUS?

Most likely some packages in your system need the old dbus and hal. You should try to locate them and compile them without the dbus and hal flags if possible.
Run "revdep-rebuild -p", it might tell you (check the output before the rebuild list too) which packages that need the old dbus and hal. You could also try and run "USE="-dbus -hal" emerge world --newuse -p" to get a list of all packages that uses dbus and hal and then try figuring out which ones that need the old versions. If you try and emerge -p them one by one the ones that need the old versions would try pulling them in.
About the JDK portage doesn't want to downgrade it, it wants to update it and install the old one slotted. So you can have them both but configure gentoo to set the new one as default with java-config. |

Thank you very much, very helpful tip.
