I am trying to emerge --buildpkgonly -u world, but it won't go: zebedee ~ # emerge --buildpkgonly -u world Calculating world dependencies ...done!
!!! --buildpkgonly requires all dependencies to be merged. !!! Cannot merge requested packages. Merge deps and try again. However when I only pretend to do it I get no errors: zebedee ~ # emerge --pretend --buildpkgonly -u world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! [ebuild NS ] sys-kernel/mm-sources-2.6.16_rc1-r2 [ebuild U ] sys-devel/libperl-5.8.7 [5.8.6-r1] [ebuild U ] dev-lang/perl-5.8.7-r3 [5.8.6-r8] [ebuild U ] sys-devel/gnuconfig-20051223 [20051113] ...etc...etc...etc... The reason I want to avoid installing straight away is because I'm doing a kde upgrade this time (3.4.3 to 3.5) and want to avoid a broken desktop, but could kde in fact be the very source of the problem? Is emerge getting confused by the split kde metafiles again? Or does the problem lie somewhere else? Thanks people!
