1 Hey there,
2 I just started an emerge --update world and I am quite suprised about
3 the dependency handling of emerge.
4
5 There was no possibility to fulfill the DEPEND on perl-5.6.1-r9 of
6 MakeMaker, so MakeMaker could nt be installed.
7
8 But why the hell does emerge deny the whole upgrade then? Shouldn't it
9 deny only the upgrade of affected packages?
10 I think we should think about a better dependency handling.
11
12 so long...
