1 Hi All,
2
3 Kevin's previous message alerted me to the fact that Gaim has been deprecated.
4 Sure enough I see this:
5
6 [D] net-im/gaim
7 Available versions:
8 [M] 1.5.0 [cjk debug eds gnutls krb4 nas nls perl silc
9 spell tcl tk]
10 Installed versions: 1.5.0(00:46:02 08/15/07)(nls perl
11 spell -cjk -debug -eds -gnutls -krb4 -nas -silc -tcl -tk)
12 Homepage: http://gaim.sourceforge.net/
13 Description: GTK Instant Messenger client
14
15 However, when I try to update world nothing comes up to tell me that Gaim is
16 no more:
17
18 # emerge -upDv world
19
20 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
21
22 Calculating world dependencies... done!
23
24 Total: 0 packages, Size of downloads: 0 kB
25
26 Last I recall, portage would tell you that a particular package is no longer
27 in the tree and ask you to unmerge it. What's up here?
28
29 Some additional info:
30 ======================================================
31 # less /etc/portage/package.keywords | grep net-im/gaim
32 #
33 # less /etc/portage/package.mask | grep -i net-im/gaim
34 #
35 # emerge -pDv gaim
36
37 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
38
39 Calculating dependencies -
40 !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "gaim" have been masked.
41 !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
42 - net-im/gaim-1.5.0 (masked by: package.mask)
43 /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
44 # Olivier Crete <tester@g.o> (08 Dec 2007)
45 # Remove gaim and its plugins (now its called pidgin)
46
47 For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
48 refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
49
50 # emerge -pDv pidgin
