It looks like it was due to the qemu-kvm ==> qemu migration... -app-emulation/qemu-kvm sdl +# move app-emulation/qemu-kvm app-emulation/qemu +app-emulation/qemu sdl -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications

When I've seen this message before, it is because a package I have in package.use has moved categories. etc-update should sort this out for you. -- Neil Bothwick I've found a solution to Fermat's Last Theorem but I see I've run out of room o signature.asc Description: PGP signature

It's sys-apps/portage-2.1.11.9 My /etc/portage/package.use is attached. I start my USE with "-*" so I have to put a lot of stuff in package.use. Anyhow, I ran an update world. When I ran etc-update, here are the changes it wanted to make to package.use... 1) -app-emulation/qemu-kvm sdl +# move app-emulation/qemu-kvm app-emulation/qemu +app-emulation/qemu sdl So they changed the name. No problem. I'll do this manually. 2) -media-video/mplayer iconv ?!?!? But, but, but... on my first attempt, the update refosed to run, claiming that "iconv" is required if I specify "truetype". Now 5 minutes later, it wants me to remove the "iconv" flag. 3) -www-client/midori deprecated No bleeping way! * Short story Flash does not work on linux midori without this option * Long story. See "I got midori working, including Flash" which I posted on the 15th in this forum. The Flash binary is GTK+:2 and only works if linked with GTK+:2, which "deprecated" causes. The default install links against GTK+:3, which seems to be ABI-incompatable with Flash video (sound still works). BTW, this install is on my "media PC" hooked up to my 50" plasma TV, not my regular working machine. I went and deleted the new config, so I don't accidentally enable it it some day. -- Walter Dnes I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications app-arch/zip -bzip2 app-crypt/gnupg -X app-editors/vim -X app-emulation/dosemu -X app-emulation/wine -mp3 app-emulation/qemu sdl app-misc/mc -X ncurses app-shells/bash readline # following items required by xpdf app-text/poppler abiword xpdf-headers utils app-text/xpdf motif dev-lang/python readline xml dev-libs/xmlrpc-c curl dev-libs/libxml2 python mail-mta/ssmtp mta mail-client/mutt buffysize gpgme mbox pop smime smtp media-fonts/terminus-font pcf media-gfx/imagemagick raw media-gfx/ufraw contrast gimp hotpixels media-libs/alsa-lib midi media-libs/libsdl alsa audio -joystick video media-libs/mesa gallium media-libs/win32codecs real media-sound/timidity++ -X media-sound/mpg123 alsa media-video/ffmpeg alsa faac faad media-video/mplayer iconv media-libs/libpng apng media-libs/libtheora encode media-video/avidemux x264 media-video/mplayer alsa ass encode i8x0 mmxext real ssse3 -joystick quicktime rtmp -vorbis x264 xvmc net-misc/openssh -X net-nntp/slrn uudeview www-plugins/gecko-mediaplayer ass sys-apps/groff -X sys-devel/gcc fortran sys-fs/mtools -X sys-libs/glibc glibc-omitfp userlocales www-client/dillo gif jpeg png www-client/midori deprecated www-client/w3m -X -imlib www-plugins/adobe-flash 64bit x11-base/xorg-server xorg x11-wm/icewm imlib x11-base/xorg-x11 bitmap-fonts font-server truetype-fonts type1-fonts # If it's going to be a rescue package, it damn well better work # standalone when libraries get screwed up.
