[gentoo-user] want to ditch kopete

[Roy Wright]

Howdy,

~x86, kde user.  kopete-3.5.5-r1 will not compile.  Already a bug report
on it.
I'd like to just ignore this version instead of having it fail every
time I run an update.
I don't use kopete so don't really care about it.
Tried unmerging it.  Update world insists on reinstalling it.  Tried
package.masking
it, now it blocks update world.
Any other tricks to ditch this dog?

TIA,
Roy

If you are using the split ebuilds, you have installed a meta package
that contains it. either unmerge the metapackage and emerge the programs
you want, or do

echo kde-base/kopete-3.5.5-r1 /etc/portage/profile/package.provided

Hello,

I've been using Gaim 2.0.0_rc3 (some `r' version I can't recall) for
some time, due to Kopete's compilation issues.

I also hope Kopete will be fixed.

The later did the job!  Thank you!

Now to look up package.provided to understand what I did... :-)

Thank you,
Roy

You tricking Portage into believing that you already have Kopete, even 
if it isn't true...


Use at your own risk :)
