I haven't done an emerge on my server in quite a while, but now that |
| 2 |
I've upgraded the CPU/RAM, I figure it's about time. |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
There are a few packages I'm a bit apprehensive about upgrading. "exim" |
| 5 |
being one. I hate that MTA. It was a nightmare to setup and get working |
| 6 |
properly, and now I don't want to break it. (a friend set it up |
| 7 |
actually, as that was the MTA he used.) |

* mail-mta/exim |
| 11 |
Latest version available: 4.67 |
| 12 |
Latest version installed: 4.54 |
| 13 |
Size of downloaded files: [no/bad digest] |

Homepage: http://www.exim.org/ |

So I have this in my package.mask: |
| 17 |
>=mail-mta/exim-4.55 |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
(Is this upgrade from 4.54 to 4.67 very smooth? Should I worry? I dread |
| 20 |
having to deal with exim.conf again, and the exim users list is very |
| 21 |
elitist. Usually saying RTFM for most issues -- but they all are experts |
| 22 |
or mail admins. I'm not. Nor do I want to be.) |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
But when I do an "emerge -aut world", I get this blocking issue: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: |
| 27 |
...snip... |
| 28 |
[nomerge ] x11-misc/xscreensaver-5.02 [5.01-r2] |
| 29 |
[nomerge ] x11-apps/appres-1.0.1 [1.0.0] |

[nomerge ] sys-process/vixie-cron-4.1-r10 [4.1-r9] |
| 32 |
[ebuild N ] mail-mta/ssmtp-2.61-r2 USE="ipv6 ssl -mailwrapper |
| 33 |
-md5sum" |
| 34 |
[nomerge ] kde-base/kdegraphics-3.5.5-r2 [3.5.5] |
| 35 |
[nomerge ] media-libs/lcms-1.15 [1.14-r1] USE="-tiff*" |

[nomerge ] dev-lang/php-5.2.2-r1 [5.2.1-r3] |
| 39 |
[nomerge ] net-misc/curl-7.15.1-r1 [7.15.1] USE="ldap* -idn*" |
| 40 |
[ebuild U ] net-nds/openldap-2.3.30-r2 [2.3.27] |
| 41 |
USE="-smbkrb5passwd%" |
| 42 |
[nomerge ] media-gfx/imagemagick-6.3.3 [6.2.9.5] |
| 43 |
[ebuild U ] x11-libs/libXt-1.0.5 [1.0.4] |
| 44 |
...snip... |
| 45 |
[blocks B ] mail-mta/exim (is blocking mail-mta/ssmtp-2.61-r2) |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
(also, I never understand the --tree option. Does this mean that |
| 48 |
"vixie-cron" is the issue, or "kdegraphics" is the issue? Being reverse |
| 49 |
order, I am guessing vixie-cron, yet it says "nomerge" so that seems |
| 50 |
like, why would it care, plus it's worked fine all these years with the |
| 51 |
exim I have installed. Conversely, why would kdegraphics give a hoot |
| 52 |
about a mail transport? I don't get it.) |
