I am now unable to update world |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Total: 26 packages (20 upgrades, 3 new, 1 in new slot, 2 reinstalls, 1 uninstall), Size of downloads: 604,681 kB |

Conflict: 3 blocks |

The following keyword changes are necessary to proceed: |
| 32 |
#required by sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.5-r3[acl], required by net-misc/networkmanager-0.9.2.0-r5, required by net-im/empathy-3.2.2[networkmanager], required by gnome-base/gnome-core-apps-3.2.1, required by gnome-base/gnome-3.2.1, required by @selected, required by @world (argument) |
| 33 |
=sys-fs/udev-9999 ** |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
The following mask changes are necessary to proceed: |

This does not surprise me. |

I still would like to wait until the semester is over before trying |
| 43 |
dracut as I assume there is a significant chance of an unbootable |
| 44 |
system. I could just do nothing now and, in late May, try dracut, unmask |
| 45 |
udev, and update world. If the world update is very hard after the long |
| 46 |
wait. I could reinstall. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
I was wondering if the following alternate procedure is safe. The hope |
| 49 |
would be to have few enough packages not updated so that when I do try |
| 50 |
dracut and unmask udev, an update world will eventually succeed. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
1. Try emerge update world |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
2. Note a few of the packages that would have been updated, |
| 55 |
say A, B, and C |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
3. emerge -1 --ask A B C |
| 58 |
If no problems are reported, say yes to the --ask |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
4. Repeat |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
thanks, |
