Hi,

When i doe a "emerge -up world" after a "emerge sync" i get a list of
packages that i can update and one is:

[ebuild U ] media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r4 [1.3.1-r3]

But when i do a "emerge -u /media-libs/freetype" nothing happens and i
get stuck with the same result af a "emerge -up world" as before. An
endless loop :-(

With a "emerge search freetype" i get:

* media-libs/freetype
Latest version available: 2.1.5-r1
Latest version installed: 2.1.5-r1
Size of downloaded files: 830 kB
Homepage: http://www.freetype.org/
Description: A high-quality and portable font engine
License: || ( FTL GPL-2 )


Now, how do i get rid of this nasty and stubborn update of an old
version of freetype that is not on my system (anymore?).


regards, Jan Hoolwerf

Did you try 'emerge unmerge freetype' and then 'emerge freetype' ?

What will that do? emerge -pC will show both 1.3.1-r3 and 2.1.5-r1. Which
one should he remove and what for?
emerge =media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r4 should do the trick

Ok, tried it and got this as the result.........

# emerge -pv =media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r4
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild U ] media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r4 [1.3.1-r3] +nls -tetex
1,919 kB
Total size of downloads: 1,919 kB

# emerge -up world
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
[ebuild U ] media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r4 [1.3.1-r3]

Have mercy "-pv" is pretend + verbose
In order to really emerge you have to:
#emerge =media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r4

man emerge
and http://www.gentoo.org section doc

Yes, i know (read the man pages to that level and understood them) and
that's not what i want!

I have a new version of freetype installed (according to "emerge search
freetype") but still emerge tells me to update to an old version but
doesn't do anything when i try that. Seems logical to me.

I simply want to leave the new freetype installed and get rid of this
phony updated message.

You can but should not get rid of that message, unless by upgrading r3 to
r4. These are 2 different versions of freetype and you need both, so
unless you unmerge the app which needs it it will still want to upgrade
from subversion r3 to r4. In case you need to find what needs it. I am no
guru though and don't know how to find out the packages depending on a
package with qpkg -q in case there are version freetype-2 and freetype-1.
AFAIR mod_php on one of the flavours needs it

So anyway, it was like, 20:53 CEST Oct 23 2004, you know? Oh, and, yeah,
Jan Hoolwerf was all like, "Dude,

Here's what I'd do:

'emerge -Cv media-libs/freetype-1.3.1-r3 && emerge -Duv world'
