Mailing List Archive: upgradeonly

Ok update to portage deprecates --upgrade only... and removing it
leads to downgrades and blocks. How am I supposed to handle this?
(see sample output below)

lws ~ # emerge -Uunkb --ask -v world

*** Warning: --upgradeonly is a deprecated option in portage-2.0.51-r2
*** and will likely be removed in a future version.

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

Calculating world dependencies ...done!

Do you want me to merge these packages? [Yes/No] n

Now, if I remove --upgradeonly then I get a block, and a downgrade I
do not want:

lws ~ # emerge -unkb --ask -v world

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

!!! Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be installed
!!! on the same system.

The down grade appears to be causing the block... how am I supposed to
handle this?

You are supposed to add the packages that you want unmasked to
/etc/portage/package.keywords (or /etc/portage/package.unmask, if you've
been really daring and installed some hardmasked stuff).

And of course, there's always the option to add ~arch to your
/etc/make.conf, but this is officially frowned upon (though many of us
report that it works for us fine).

Hope this helps.
