I'm pretty confused.
1. did a quickpge utempter (for safety)
2. unmerged utempter
3. emerged libutempter
4. re-emerged utempter (from the portage tree not /usr/portage/packages)
Leave aside the fact it didn't work in this case...Why do you usually
try the (4) step? If two packages conflict, how can you re-install them
both?
There was a blog entry on planet gentoo recently about this:
http://planet.gentoo.org/developers/seemant/2006/06/02/utemptations_with_xterm
It looks like you have to unmerge utempter and then emerge libutempter and
rebuild xterm.
This just makes sense, but so...
So this utmpter/libutmpter appears to be a special case where the
normal
unmerge A
merge B
merge A
is wrong.
how it is normal?
