I run gnome3 on a test laptop, but want to wait until intersession to install it on my real laptop. I will probably like gnome3, but had a bad experience a few months ago when gnome-shell repeatedly crashed so want to wait for a "quiet time" to do the upgrade.
Anyway, weeks ago I installed the package.mask list and all was well until this morning. Here is the beginning of the output from emerge --tree --verbose [the full output is below] Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild U ] sys-block/gparted-0.11.0 [0.10.0] USE="gtk -btrfs -dmraid -fat -hfs -jfs -kde -mdadm -ntfs -reiser4 -reiserfs -xfs" 1,623 kB [nomerge ] gnome-base/gnome-2.32.1-r1 USE="cdr cups dvdr ldap policykit -accessibility -mono" [nomerge ] gnome-base/nautilus-3.2.1-r1 [2.32.2.1-r1] USE="exif%* gnome introspection* previewer%* -doc -packagekit% -sendto% -test -tracker% -xmp" If I am reading this correctly gpartd is requiring gnome-2.32.1-r1 (which is installed), and the latter is requiring nautilus-3.2.1-r1. The end of the emerge output says that gnome-2.32.1-r1 requires evince-3.2.1-r1[nautilus]. I looked at the gnome ebuild and don't see why it wants nautilus from gnome-3 or evince from gnome-3. Can someone explain this. thanks, allan ================ full emerge output ======================== ajglap gottlieb # emerge --keep-going --update --newuse --with-bdeps=y world These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!
