Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Ordinarily, I'd just remove the blocking packages and away I'd go |
| 4 |
with the 'emerge -uDNv world' command. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
However, since glibc(2.4+) , gcc(4.1), xorg-x11 (7.0), |
| 7 |
/etc/make.profile and kde-mono to kde-meta have combined, lately, to whip |
| 8 |
the snot out of me, I thought I'd post and get suggestions and explainations |
| 9 |
on how to upgrade, hopefully avoiding the 2006.1 installation media. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Right now everything is working, but the system wants to upgrade about |
| 12 |
( 140 ) packages (emerge -uDNvp world | wc -l) = 140 |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
emerge -uDNvp world: |
| 16 |
blocks B ] media-video/nvidia-kernel (is blocking |
| 17 |
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8774) |
| 18 |
[blocks B ] media-video/nvidia-glx (is blocking |
| 19 |
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8774) |
