Hello list, After an emerge sync, I followed the instructions in
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-upgrading.xml for updating to 2006.1. Proceeding to the system update: ->emerge --update --deep --newuse --pretend --verbose system I get this error message before the list of packages ************************************ These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating system dependencies Parse Error reading PROVIDE and USE in '/var/db/pkg/x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r4' Possibly Invalid: 'virtual/x11 opengl? virtual/opengl opengl? virtual/glu virtual/xft' Exception: Conditional without parenthesis: 'opengl?' ************************************* Is this related to the current modular use of X11? Later in the output of system packages to be updated I get: ****************************** [blocks B ] <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking x11-proto/inputproto-1.3.2, x11-proto/xf86bigfontproto-1.1.2, x11-proto/xextproto-7.0.2, x11-libs/libXext-1.0.1, x11-proto/xcmiscproto-1.1.2, x11-misc/util-macros-1.1.0, x11-libs/xtrans-1.0.1, x11-apps/xauth-1.0.1, x11-libs/libXau-1.0.2, x11-libs/libXmu-1.0.2, x11-proto/kbproto-1.0.3, x11-libs/libSM-1.0.1, x11-libs/libXdmcp-1.0.1, x11-libs/libICE-1.0.1, x11-libs/libXt-1.0.2, x11-proto/xproto-7.0.7, x11-proto/bigreqsproto-1.0.2, x11-libs/libX11-1.0.3) ****************************** Should I clean out my old X? which is x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r4 and not x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 as in the blocking message above. Also, according to emerge --search the latest version available for x11-base/xorg-x11 is 7.1. Thanks for inputs. -- Valmor -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
