hi list,
this probably isn't new but i didnt find any reference to it on the web
and in the mailing list archives, so i'd like to apologize in advance to
repost a possibly long answered question.
when i try to "emerge system --deep --newuse -upv" portage tells me this:
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
<snip>
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B ] <www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.0-r3 (is blocking
media-libs/freetype-2.1.9-r1)
[ebuild U ] sys-libs/zlib-1.2.3 [1.2.2] -build 415 kB
[...]
<snap>
but when i then try to unmerge firefox ("emerge unmerge
mozilla-firefox") this is what i get:
<snip>
>>> These are the packages that I would unmerge:
www-client/mozilla-firefox
selected: 1.0_pre-r2
protected: none
omitted: none
>>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
>>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.
<snap>
how can a package that is obviously not installed be blocking anything?
and even more important: how do i resolve this issue? just unmerge the
version of firefox that is installed? i'm not absolutely sure, but AFAIK
this has happened before and just unmerging the installed version of the
blocking program did not resolve the block on the not installed version.
any help is appreciated!
best regards,
alexander
