Hi, Gentoo. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I've just tried an emerge -puND world, after a shockingly long interval. |
| 4 |
I got the error message: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled |
| 7 |
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict: |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
, etc. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
To simplify the problem, I tried to emerge an individual package |
| 12 |
identified in that message, and tried emerge -p libpng. I got the same |
| 13 |
message, with this: |
| 14 |

Clearly, I'm trying to update libpng-1.5.17 to libpng-1.6.8. What does |
| 36 |
this portion of the message mean: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
media-libs/libpng:0/0= |
| 39 |
^^^^^ |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
? Is it somehow telling me that cairo and friends require the currently |
| 42 |
installed version, whatever that is? Where is this format documented? I |
| 43 |
couldn't find anything about it in the Gentoo handbook, and not in the |
| 44 |
emerge man page either. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
What do I have to do to get this thing emerged? |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Thanks! |
