Maybe I should explain a bit more in detail how the OP should fix this, |
| 10 |
as finding kde blockers between the -meta and monolithic ebuilds is not |
| 11 |
a cut and dried process. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
First, I assume he has read the emerging KDE howto on the gentoo docs |
| 14 |
site, and understands the difference between -meta ebuilds, monolithic |
| 15 |
ebuilds and package ebuilds. There's not much to indicate which is |
| 16 |
which except that the -meta ebuilds have -meta in their name. Over time |
| 17 |
I have learned which are the packages distributed by kde.org and now |
| 18 |
recognize them by name. The monolithic ebuilds must then be the same |
| 19 |
without the -meta name. So, everything else is probably a package |
| 20 |
ebuild. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Golden rule: You cannot mix these types, you must use one or the other. |
| 23 |
To determine blockers, there's no command I know of that does |
| 24 |
eg "equery blocks <package>" so I resort to good old grep: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
alan@nazgul ~ $ grep -r ksync /var/portage/kde-base/*/*ebuild | grep |
| 27 |
kdelibs |
| 28 |
/var/portage/kde-base/kdelibs/kdelibs-3.5.7-r1.ebuild: !kde-base/ksync" |
| 29 |
/var/portage/kde-base/kdelibs/kdelibs-3.5.7-r2.ebuild: !kde-base/ksync" |
| 30 |
/var/portage/kde-base/kdelibs/kdelibs-3.5.7-r3.ebuild: !kde-base/ksync" |
| 31 |
/var/portage/kde-base/kdelibs/kdelibs-3.5.8.ebuild: !kde-base/ksync" |
| 32 |
/var/portage/kde-base/kdelibs/kdelibs-3.5.8-r1.ebuild: !kde-base/ksync" |
| 33 |
/var/portage/kde-base/kdelibs/kdelibs-3.5.8-r2.ebuild: !kde-base/ksync" |
| 34 |
/var/portage/kde-base/kdelibs/kdelibs-3.5.8-r3.ebuild: !kde-base/ksync" |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
So, kdelibs will not install along with ksync. Now to determine what |
| 37 |
installs ksync: |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
alan@nazgul ~ $ equery depends ksync |
| 40 |
[ Searching for packages depending on ksync... ] |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
No results. Bugger. That means I don't have ksync installed, so equery |
| 43 |
can't find the info for me. Time to search the tree (this is slooooow). |
| 44 |
So one cup of coffee later: |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
alan@nazgul ~ $ equery depends -a ksync |
| 47 |
[ Searching for packages depending on ksync... ] |
| 48 |
app-pda/syncekonnector-0.3_pre20060117 (=kde-base/ksync-3.5*) |
| 49 |
app-pda/syncekonnector-0.3.2 (=kde-base/ksync-3.5*) |
| 50 |
kde-base/kdepim-meta-3.5.5 (~kde-base/ksync-3.5.5) |
| 51 |
kde-base/kdepim-meta-3.5.6 (~kde-base/ksync-3.5.6) |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
OK, Now we are getting there. kdepim-meta will install all sub-packages |
| 54 |
of kdepim. syncekonnector (probably part of kdepim-meta too) will also |
| 55 |
install ksync. Plus, kdepim (monolithic) will install all the same |
| 56 |
files as kdepim-meta, but not as individual packages. On to solutions |
| 57 |
for the OPs problem: |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Don't merge ksync, do merge kdepim. |
| 60 |
Convert to the -meta ebuilds and emerge ksync. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
This last is a lot of effort but worth it. I did it by running "eix kde" |
| 63 |
and listing what I had, unmerge the monolithic ebuilds and merge the |
| 64 |
corresponding -meta ones. It's an iterative process, I had to go back |
| 65 |
and find more stuff to unmerge once or twice. |
