In my case, this was the umpteenth time I encountered circular blocks. |
| 6 |
After asking the first couple of times, I settled down to a pattern of |
| 7 |
unmerging both halves of the problem and restarting the emerge. This |
| 8 |
has worked fine until now. And yes, I've seen the warning about "may |
| 9 |
harm your system" a lot of times. If it didn't come up as often as |
| 10 |
Vista's UAC warning, when manually unmerging stuff, I probably would've |
| 11 |
asked first. |

To quote The Firesign Theatre... "Everything you know is wrong". |
| 14 |
Procedures that worked OK so far blew up this time. All I can say is |
| 15 |
not to be annoyed in the next little while when people start asking |
| 16 |
about how to handle each and every circular block they run into. |
