Howdy, I seem to have ran into a road block. To get a clean path for emerge recently, I had to unmerge a few packages. I removed Kicad, libreoffice and a few others. Some of them I could add back with no problem. I just emerged them and off it went. I'm having trouble with libreoffice but I think it is a compile failure so I may just go back to a older version. The one I can't get around is Kicad. When I run emerge the first time, I get this:
root@fireball / # emerge -auDN world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! The following USE changes are necessary to proceed: (see "package.use" in the portage(5) man page for more details) # required by sci-libs/vtk-9.0.3-r4::gentoo # required by sci-libs/opencascade-7.5.2-r5::gentoo[vtk] # required by sci-electronics/kicad-5.1.12-r2::gentoo # required by sci-electronics/kicad-symbols-5.1.12::gentoo # required by sci-electronics/kicad-meta-5.1.12::gentoo # required by @selected # required by @world (argument) =sci-libs/hdf5-1.10.5-r1 -mpi # >=sci-libs/vtk-9.0.3-r4 mpi Would you like to add these changes to your config files? [Yes/No] n root@fireball / # I do my file edits manually so I go make the change it wants and try again with the same command. root@fireball / # emerge -auDN world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! The following USE changes are necessary to proceed: (see "package.use" in the portage(5) man page for more details) # required by sci-libs/vtk-9.0.3-r4::gentoo # required by sci-libs/opencascade-7.5.2-r5::gentoo[vtk] # required by sci-electronics/kicad-5.1.12-r2::gentoo # required by sci-electronics/kicad-symbols-5.1.12::gentoo # required by sci-electronics/kicad-meta-5.1.12::gentoo # required by @selected # required by @world (argument) =sci-libs/hdf5-1.10.5-r1 mpi # >=sci-libs/vtk-9.0.3-r4 -mpi Would you like to add these changes to your config files? [Yes/No] n root@fireball / # Each time it just reverses the recommended settings. I've been dealing with this for a couple days now. I've tried changing settings on the packages that are pulling it in and anything else I can think of but so far, this is as close I've got to it being able to update. Does someone have their emerge decoder ring handy? I just can't figure out what changes to make to get past this. Once this is done, I'll start hammering on libreoffice. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
