Hello I run a stable tree system with many unstable packages installed and this has been causing me much grief with the way portage handles it. Basically, I cannot do
emerge -uD world because it will downgrade packages and I cannot do emerge -uUD world because it gives the following error message. **** Calculating world dependencies / !!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "~media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.4349" have been masked. !!! (dependency required by "media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.4349" [ebuild]) !!! Problem with ebuild app-games/quake3-1.32b !!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. !!! Depgraph creation failed. **** I have tried even injecting packages and editing world file and it does not change the error. So, currently I am having to select individual updates and do emerge -u package1 package2 package3 Is it just me or is portage fundamentally flawed when dealing with a mix of stable and unstable trees? Any suggestions much appreciated. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
