Hi, |
| 54 |
It's a question of adding one additional option to emerge: --tree (-t). |
| 55 |
It'll then display some additional packages for which the upgrades are |
| 56 |
dependencies, check the one above alsa-utils - it requires the downgrade. |
| 57 |
BTW does anybody knows about some script to check the dependencies (like "dep") |
| 58 |
from 'ecatmur' (it's not maintained anymore). Very usefull tool, but doesn't work |
| 59 |
with latest portage though. |
