ok, after discussion on IRC came out that the SynCE 0.14 suite didn't |
| 23 |
include a synce-gnomevfs-0.14 package (so it has implicitly needed to |
| 24 |
be uninstalled the old 0.13 version). |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
unfortunately portage doesn't handle this situation automatically. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I had to add a !app-pda/synce-gnomevfs dep to synce-0.14. |
| 29 |
this will be never handled automatically by portage unfortunately, |
| 30 |
because synce-gnomevfs has no reverse-depend on anything (my fault!), |
| 31 |
so a user generally puts into the world set. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
the user will see a blocker when upgrading, but that's little pain. |
| 34 |
