You're right. It was very early in the morning, I saw the dependency not matching architectures, but wasn't aware that blocker dependencies are not taken into account with regards to tree breakage. So: Dear Stefan, I was wrong, you didn't break the tree. Please excuse that I did accuse you doing this. I regret not having verfied my position, before i filed the bug. Furthermore I'd like to add that, as blubb put it in an private email, my intention wasn't to put you down, but to shed light on the issue - apparently making myself a fool. One question remains: Is it needed/correct that Portage doesn't take blockers for architecture breakages into account? Such a line/prefix is easily changed and when someone - whatever the bad reason is - uses cvs commit, a real tree breakage is the cause. Carsten
