If I emerge -auD world this comes up:

x11-libs/gtk+-2.6.10-r1 [2.8.8]

if I let it go, it compiles for a while, finishes and seems like all is well. But if I emerge -auD world again, the same thing comes up. What can I do to fix this?

Thanks

hm..

looks like that's a downgrade, right

In such a case, I mask the older version of the package

No, it's not a downgrade. When I run it, portage grabs and installs gtk+ 2.8.8

I marked gtk+ ~amd in my package.keywords file and it installed 2.8.11, but if I emerge world again it tries to go back to 2.6.10. WTF is going on here?

Can anyone suggest a reason it keeps trying to install that particular version? It's still doing this, and I'm stuck.

Some dependency of another package maybe :lol:

Try masking versions that are older:

Code:
# echo "<x11-libs/gtk+-2.8.11" >> /etc/portage/package.mask

Tried it. Here's what happened.

emerge -auD world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies /
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=x11-libs/gtk+-1.2*" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r10 (masked by: package.mask)
- x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r11 (masked by: package.mask)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
!!! (dependency required by "x11-libs/wxGTK-2.4.2-r4" [ebuild])

I thought that was kinda weird, so I changed the line in my package.mask file to =x11-libs/gtk+-2.6.10-r1, and everything now behaves the way it should. What I still don't get is why I had to do it. Why should I have to force portage to ignore that version?

I guess I should let it go because it works now, but I'm curious. Can I tell, using equery perhaps, if another package was requesting that particular version?
