1 Hey all,
2
3 I installed Gentoo 2006.1.
4
5 I ran either:
6
7 emerge-webrsync // because I can't rsync through my company's firewall
8
9 or
10
11 emerge --update --deep world ... it revealed that I need portage needed
12 updating ...
13
14 so I:
15
16 emerge portage ...
17
18 I also installed mysql, php, apache and mediawiki. Mediawiki required me to
19 set pcre mysql and session in my USE ... I only need to add mysql the other
20 2 were already there. After installing that software I wanted to update my
21 system, so I ran
22
23 emerge --update --deep --newuse world
24
25 ... here's the info ...
26
27 Error: the sys-apps/coldplug package conflicts with another package;
28 the two packages cannot be installed on the same system together.
29 ...
30
31 I then did ...
32
33 emerge --pretend --update --deep --newuse world > output_file
34
35 followed by:
36
37 grep blocks output_file
38
39 [blocks B ] sys-apps/coldplug (is blocking sys-fs/udev-103)
40
41 I can't emerge: sys-fs/udev-103 or udev-103 b/c that's not a valid package
42 atom ...
43
44 What do I need to do to resolve this?
45
46 This installation is for a VM that I'm preparing for use at work. Currently
47 I've got a standalone machine that this will be replacing ... that machine
48 is running 2006.0. I've not tried to update it yet, and wanted to wait until
49 I've migrated my mediawiki install from that 2006.0 machine to the new
50 machine.
51
52 Thanks,
53
