[gentoo-user] emerge -uD @system with lots of blocks!
I want to update the system and then world, but still have a lots of blocks and don't know how to solve that. emerge error output: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=XTKQHUjk On the gentoo forums nobody could help me. Perhaps here any ideas ?!
Re: [gentoo-user] emerge -uD @system with lots of blocks!
What I try to do in such cases (I know this is not the best solution, but it always works quite good) is to uninstall all packages that cause problems. After the world update, you can reinstall those. In your case, i would try to uninstall - libreoffice - qt* - all blocking packages But this might be very risky! Another try could be to install bunch of packages by hand. E.g. Try to update python, if this works try to update let's say systemd, and so on. Oh, I see your gentoo actually wants to install systemd? Did you change to gnome3? Which profile do you use?

Perhaps here any ideas ?! Hi, try updating system and world at the same time. You have packages in system on which other packages in world depend. Try emerge -uvDNa @system @world If that doesn't help add backtrack as stated in the error: emerge -uvDNa @system @world --backtrack=30 Most likely this will solve your issues. If not you could unmerge blocking packages but imho that's not a neat way. I'd rather emerge some selected packages manually (gobject-introspection and vala would be good candidates in your case) [use -v1 or you'll end up with a horribly cluttered world file]. If that doesn't work either it may be possible that there is no working upgrade path due to a too large version difference. In that case you could try to emerge intermediate versions manually (emerge -v1 =atom-version)... WKR Hinnerk signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Also, careful when you are remerging packages which you previously uninstalled, that you do not inadvertently add packages in world, when they do not belong there (like libs and other dependencies). -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Hi! I don't want gnome3. I am very happy with Gnome 2. How can we keep that?! I would change the profile even. I am on systemd profile and my profile list is: Available profile symlink targets: [1] default/linux/amd64/13.0 [2] default/linux/amd64/13.0/selinux [3] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop [4] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome [5] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome/systemd * [6] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde [7] default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde/systemd [8] default/linux/amd64/13.0/developer [9] default/linux/amd64/13.0/no-multilib [10] default/linux/amd64/13.0/x32 [11] hardened/linux/amd64 [12] hardened/linux/amd64/selinux [13] hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib [14] hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib/selinux [15] hardened/linux/amd64/x32 [16] hardened/linux/uclibc/amd64 Tamer Oh, I see your gentoo actually wants to install systemd?

I tried, and I get still blocks, independently which PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET I make use of! http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=hVLKC1J5 Any ideas ?!

Support for older GNOME will eventually disappear. If you need a desktop, look into a lightweight DE like XFCE https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Xfce/HOWTO I run ICEWM. It does what I need (taskbar/launcher a few applets) and then it stays out of the way, and doesn't chew up a ton of resources.

There is only _one_ block: [blocks B ] dev-lang/vala-0.20.0 (dev-lang/vala-0.20.0 is blocking dev-libs/gobject-introspection-1.36.0-r1) For this block, you either need to upgrade dev-lang/vala to at least 0.20.0; or find a version of dev-libs/gobject-introspection that does not have this blocker listed, which is true for version lower than 1.36. All the rest that you see is a result of one of the following: - The above block stopping resolution. - A too low backtrack value stopping resolution. The solution is to resolve the block and higher the backtrack value; however, if this takes too long, an alternative is to manually oneshot emerge the higher versions (usually listed with no parents) or alternatively mask them if you don't want to upgrade them. But, before doing that; just trying to emerge again after resolving the block might work as well, so, try that first to spare out work. :) -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D signature.asc Description: PGP signature
