hi list, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
this probably isn't new but i didnt find any reference to it on the web |
| 7 |
and in the mailing list archives, so i'd like to apologize in advance to |
| 8 |
repost a possibly long answered question. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
when i try to "emerge system --deep --newuse -upv" portage tells me this: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
These are the packages that I would merge, in order: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
<snip> |
| 15 |
Calculating dependencies ...done! |
| 16 |
[blocks B ] <www-client/mozilla-firefox-1.0-r3 (is blocking |
| 17 |
media-libs/freetype-2.1.9-r1) |
| 18 |
[ebuild U ] sys-libs/zlib-1.2.3 [1.2.2] -build 415 kB |
| 19 |
[...] |
| 20 |
<snap> |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
but when i then try to unmerge firefox ("emerge unmerge |
| 23 |
mozilla-firefox") this is what i get: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
<snip> |
| 26 |
>>> These are the packages that I would unmerge: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
www-client/mozilla-firefox |
| 29 |
selected: 1.0_pre-r2 |
| 30 |
protected: none |
| 31 |
omitted: none |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
>>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal. |
| 34 |
>>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed. |
| 35 |
<snap> |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
how can a package that is obviously not installed be blocking anything? |
| 38 |
and even more important: how do i resolve this issue? just unmerge the |
| 39 |
version of firefox that is installed? i'm not absolutely sure, but AFAIK |
| 40 |
this has happened before and just unmerging the installed version of the |
| 41 |
blocking program did not resolve the block on the not installed version. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
any help is appreciated! |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
best regards, |
| 46 |
