The block will in many cases affect only a branch of the dependency tree. |
| 16 |
For example, in this case it is all blocked because glibmm wants a masked glib. |
| 17 |
Portage knows that glibmm wants the masked glib, so it knows that |
| 18 |
glibmm causes the trouble. So it could in principle give me what is to |
| 19 |
update except for glibmm and glib - and give me the error about those |
| 20 |
two. |
