Potential problems with dependencies resolution

[jordan83]

Hello,

I think that I might have found some problems in the way paludis handles dependencies. Today I tried to run:

#paludis --report

and I got the following results:

# paludis --report
Current state of the system

Finished processing 1041 packages. 13 errors

The relevant entries are the following ones:

1) sys-fs/cryptsetup-luks-1.0.4-r3::installed

If I try

# paludis -up =sys-fs/cryptsetup-luks-1.0.4-r3::installed

I get:

Building unmerge list... done

These packages will be uninstalled:

* sys-apps/hal-0.5.10::installed requires <sys-fs/cryptsetup-luks-1.0.4-r3::installed>
* sys-apps/pmount-0.9.16::installed requires <sys-fs/cryptsetup-luks-1.0.4-r3::installed>
* sys-fs/cryptsetup-luks-1.0.4-r3::installed


Total: 1 package and 2 errors
Use either --with-dependencies or --permit-unsafe-uninstalls

Now, I had a look in hal-0.5.10.ebuild and sys-apps/pmount-0.9.16.ebuild and there is no trace of sys-fs/cryptsetup-luks :|

The required package is sys-fs/cryptsetup therefore I would expect that Paludis installed that one and would present sys-fs/cryptsetup-luks in the --uninstall-unused packages list the next time I run that command.

Unless of course it is expected that the user manually uninstalls sys-fs/cryptsetup-luks first, although in that case I would expect a "blocking" warning (sys-fs/cryptsetup-luks blocking sys-fs/cryptsetup).

If it can be useful, this comes from the output produced when paludis creates the dependencies list:

2) x11-misc/makedepend-1.0.0::installed

the x11-misc/makedepend-1.0.0.ebuild file is not available in the gentoo repository anymore, but the version 1.0.1 is available:

# paludis -q makedepend
* x11-misc/makedepend
    installed:               1.0.0* {:0}
    gentoo:                  1.0.1 {:0}
    Description:             create dependencies in makefiles

    Relevant USE flags:      (-debug)
    License:                 makedepend
    Installed time:          Wed Sep  5 00:14:56 2007
    Source repository:       gentoo
    Installed using:         paludis-0.24.6

I don't understand why paludis doesn't want to upgrade it :|

3)

dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.2.16::installed (1.4.2.17 is available but paludis doesn't install it)

dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5.0.13::installed (1.5.0.15 is available but paludis doesn't install it)

sys-devel/gcc-3.3.6-r1::installed (not needed because version 4.1.2::4.1 is installed)

These errors are probably due to ticket:433

4) The remaining entries are my bad :)

No packages were specified on the command line, so detailed information is not
available (Paludis can display detailed information for both installed and
installable packages).

[ciaranm]

1) was a package move. You need to fix those manually with Paludis for now, we don't handle them for you.

2) Presumably it's not in world, nor is it an RDEPEND of any package in world (recursively). This one's in the faq.

3) The 0.26 resolver doesn't handle lower slots very nicely. It's a known issue, and the 0.28 resolver does things differently here.
