I have just installed unix2dos utility |
| 2 |
(never had a need to use it before) and |
| 3 |
just after that tried to install dos2unix |
| 4 |
but the installation of dos2unix failed |
| 5 |
complaining on the fact that |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
"app-text/unix2dos" is blocking app-text/dos2unix-6.0.5 |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
I find it very strange as I think that if someone |
| 10 |
needs unix2dos utility he usually also needs dos2unix |
| 11 |
utility, especially taking into account that unix2dos |
| 12 |
by default overwrites its input file. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
This is the output from the emerge command: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
# emerge --ask dos2unix |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Calculating dependencies... done! |

[ebuild N ] app-text/dos2unix-6.0.5 USE="nls -debug" |
