1 Following my daily syncing today, 2 news items appeared,
2 the important one for this being the following:
3
4 2021-01-30-display-manager-init
5
6 It states that starting the next xorg-server version,
7 the xdm init script will be removed and that one
8 install gui-libs/display-manager-init to replace it.
9 Following the instructions to install said package
10 leads to a wonderful error stating that the package
11 is blocked by the following packages:
12
13 x11-apps/xinit-1.4.1
14 sys-apps/sysvinit-2.98
15 x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.10
16
17 Removing xorg-server is not gonna happen, so

19 issue here:

22
23 Doing the required update is currently impossible.
24
25 I am definitely not gonna remember about this
26 in a week or 2 so I'd like to deal with whatever
27 this issue is asap. Is there any way to do this?
28
29 Note: all 3 of the blocking packages and whatever
30 pulls them in are NOT using the ~amd64 keyword
31 at the moment, except for nvidia-drivers.

33 Thanks for any help,
34 Kusoneko.
