This is one of those frustrating times where portage is trying to do
something silly.
I have nvidia-drivers installed. It has a dependency to
virtual/linux-sources.
The problem is it's always trying to pull in unstable packages when I
have two slotted kernels in world:
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:5.4.48
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources:5.4.66
I tried masking kernels >5.5 but now it's trying to pull in unstable
kernel 5.4.70.
I do not run unstable kernels, and have two stable kernels installed.
Why is portage insistent on pulling in sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
(non-slotted) when two slotted entries already exist?
I do not want to install unstable kernel sources as I don't use them and
am trying to spare the thousands of unnecessary writes on my SSD.
Whenever I update I check to see if there's a new stable kernel
available manually and update to it if needed.
