Hello, After a recent "emerge sync" portage reports the following, when trying to upgrade the system: $ emerge -up system These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating system dependencies ...done! [blocks B ] <dev-perl/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.05-r6 (from pkg dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12) [blocks B ] <dev-perl/Test-Simple-0.47-r1 (from pkg dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12) [blocks B ] <dev-perl/File-Spec-0.84-r1 (from pkg dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12) [ebuild U ] dev-lang/perl-5.8.0-r12 [5.8.0-r10] So there seems to be blocking packages when going from perl v5.8.0-r10 to 5.8.0-r12. How should I solve this the right way ? Just ignore the blocking packages, or unmerge them first, before upgrading perl ? >From the output, I would assume that the blocking packages have recently become a part of the main perl package, so it would be safe to unmerge them if I upgraded perl at the same time. Is this correct ? Any help/hints appreciated. Regards, Øyvind Stegard -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
