Hello all,
Confused...
emerge -pvuDN world shows (among a few others):
[ebuild N ] virtual/modutils-0 0 kB
No warnings about blockers or anything are evident.
However, when I do emerge -pvuDN modutils (instead of 'world), I get the
following warning about blockers:
myhost : Sun Feb 05, 11:12:24 : ~
# emerge -pvuDN modutils
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] sys-apps/modutils-2.4.27-r1 0 kB
[uninstall ] sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.16-r1 USE="-static"
[blocks b ] sys-apps/modutils ("sys-apps/modutils" is blocking
sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.16-r1)
[blocks b ] sys-apps/module-init-tools
("sys-apps/module-init-tools" is blocking sys-apps/modutils-2.4.27-r1)
Total: 1 package (1 new, 1 uninstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB
Conflict: 2 blocks
myhost : Sun Feb 05, 11:20:15 : ~
Then, when I try to perform the update, it fails with:
* Package 'sys-apps/modutils-2.4.27-r1' NOT merged due to file
* collisions. If necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole
* content of the above message.
>>> Failed to install sys-apps/modutils-2.4.27-r1, Log file:

* GNU info directory index is up-to-date.
myhost : Sun Feb 05, 11:12:24 : ~
I hate guessing about things like this, but I'm 'guessing' that all I
need to do is:
emerge -C sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.16-r1
then
emerge -vuDN modutils
?
Thanks,
Charles
