The blocks regarding sys-fs/e2fsprogs, sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs, |
| 48 |
sys-libs/ss and sys-libs/com_err were discussed recently on this list. |
| 49 |
Basically you need to: |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
emerge -f e2fsprogs e2fsprogs-libs |
| 52 |
emerge -C com_err ss e2fsprogs |
| 53 |
emerge -1 e2fsprogs |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
I'm not sure about the others, but fixing these should get you closer |
| 57 |
to an up-to-date system. :) |
