Here's the skinny:
I updated iptables from 1.3.4 to 1.3.5 this weekend. Everything's cool.
Next 'emerge --update --deep world' wants to downgrade iptables back to
1.3.4.
So I add '--tree' to see what package wants it downgraded, and it's
shorewall.
I opened the shorewall ebuild, and it has a depend line for iptables
stating: >=net-firewall/iptables-1.2.4
Well, in my book both 1.3.4 and 1.3.5 are greater than the 1.2.4 dependency.
So I don't understand why portage thinks it needs to downgrade iptables when
clearly shorewall should be happy with 1.3.5.
Anybody out there that can provide a clue?
TIA
Dave
