...problem here is, that the emerge process already killed all ebuilds |
| 42 |
except the newest one of nvidie-cuda-toolkit and nvidia-settings... |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
And the emerge detects a mismatch between the nvidia-drivers to |
| 45 |
downgrade and the (still newest) nvidie-cuda-toolkit and nvidia-settings and |
| 46 |
refuses to do anything... |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
lost? |
