Well, It is getting more confusing.... I can't seem to unmerge everything for xfce4 in order to start over.
In typing this command, I get: iDeq ~ # emerge -pv xfce4-extras These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies \!!!

What is the best way to clean up and unmerge all of xfce4 and start over? Douglas On 2/19/07, Bo Ørsted Andresen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

For whatever reason, emerge > doesn't know enough to remove the old packages. It's not a matter of emerge being confused or not knowing enough to remove the old packages. It's a matter of emerge not being permitted to remove any packages that temporarily break things without the user knowing about and permitting it first. So instead it aborts while informing the user about the block and allowing the user to make a decision. In this particular case it's not even about anything needing to be removed (at least not anymore). It's simply that when accepting ~arch keywords for xfce4 you need to accept ~arch keywords for xfce4-extras too for them to be compatible. -- Bo Andresen
