[paludis-user] Upgrade virtual/* deps

[denisgolovan]

Hi all

Recently I found an issue when trying to update Gentoo machine which had not been updated for while.
Quite naturally a lot of packages were updated in Gentoo tree comparing to what is installed.

Now a lot of dependencies are in form of virtual/something.
And it looks like "cave resolve" (without --lazy) for those dependencies does not want to update them.
Even though a new version exists.

Does it look strange only to me or there is some reason for that?
You can use virtual/libusb-1 and www-client/chromium for a test case.

And if that is by design, how I can make cave update those dependencies?

P.S.
I am on Gentoo x86, paludis v1.0.0

I would have a look for errors at the end of 'cave resolve'. Have also a
look at the dependencies of the virtual packages with 'cave show -c'.

For libusb-1, in my case the dependency is against libusb-1.0.9 (shown
pink, the others in red).

Run dependencies
|| (

=dev-libs/libusbx-1.0.13:1
=dev-libs/libusb-1.0.9:1
=sys-freebsd/freebsd-lib-9.1_rc3-r1[usb]

)

You may try to change the dependency with the -F modifier in cave resolve.

Good luck

Is libusb-1.0.8 a dependency of virtual/libusb? Check with
cave show virtual/libusb -c

In cave it is not, try something like:
cave resolve -1x virtual/libusb -F dev-libs/libusb

Hi
No errors were emitted at the end of "cave resolve chromium".
It's just that chromium fails to build without dev-libs/libusb-1.0.9.
My point was that if chromium has virtual/libusb dependency and I have
libusb-1.0.8 installed then I would assume "cave resolve chromium" (without
--lazy) should emerge libusb-1.0.9 before chromium. But it does not.
That was my concern.
Either this is a bug or a feature :)

Hi all

Ok. With the help of a nice man called zlin on #paludis, I managed to find a proper spell to cast.
It's --keep parameter, so doing something like:

#cave resolve --lazy chromium --keep if-same

... does the trick
