I also had bonobo-activation blocking today. I unmerged it, ran emerge
-uD world, and after a long list of other updates, portage wants to
re-merge it again. Strange. When I try to do this, I get an error
message during configure, telling me that it is part of libbonobo,
which I already have emerged. And qpkg (emerge gentoolkit to use it)
seems to tell me that libbonobo wants it:
% qpkg -q bonobo-activation
gnome-base/bonobo-activation-1.0.3
DEPENDED ON BY:
gnome-base/gnome-2.2.2-r1
gnome-base/libbonobo-2.4.0
Any ideas why? I don't understand this.
Another problem that I have for longer is gnome-desktop, gnome-
terminal and gnome-session blocking gnome-core. After unmerging, I can
emerge gnome-core, but then emerge -uDp world shows that gnome-core is
blocking the other three packages. I can unmerge them, and will be in
the same state as before. I also posted this to the forum yesterday,
no solution yet:

No big problem though, apart from being unable to do an emerge -uD
world.
