Why not just instruct users to unmerge rather than attempt something |
| 35 |
that may or may not work as a first step? |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
The instructions would the be simplified to: |
| 38 |
In order to upgrade to the new version of app-portage/gentoolkit, first |
| 39 |
unmerge app-portage/gentoolkit-dev then emerge app-portage/gentoolkit: |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
# emerge --unmerge app-portage/gentoolkit-dev |
| 42 |
# emerge --ask app-portage/gentoolkit |
