This sounds to me exactly as the error means: |
| 2 |
gnome2.2 is stable but some of the dependancies aren't so if you want to |
| 3 |
update to gnome2.2 you have either to accept beta packages or stream |
| 4 |
down the gnome2.2 if you can mask out one or some other package from the |
| 5 |
dependancy list. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Since gnome2.2 should be some kind of virtual package it shouldn't be |
| 8 |
stable until all of its dependancies are. So this also could be |
| 9 |
understood as an error. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
BUT ! The dependancies might vary by change of use flags. So gnome2.2 |
| 12 |
could be called stable once all possible use variations that effect its |
| 13 |
dependancy tree will also mask completly stable. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
This sounds like a hard rule for a real intelligent software. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
At least it turns out that YOU are the most intelligent part in that |
| 18 |
process, so you have to tune on that error, not your software. I fear |
| 19 |
that you have to accept that gnome2.2 isn't stable for you yet, so you |
| 20 |
should mask itself out with ~x86 (in you personal portage tree) or |
| 21 |
accept beta packages at least to emerge -u gnome. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
But that's only my opinion: I would vote against calling this an error |
| 24 |
actually. |
