Re: [gentoo-user] blocking xft on fresh install

[Christopher E]

Hello All,

I also got the same issue when trying to install gnome, hal, dbus. 
The following error happens for someone that is helping me when he did
a search for this thing:

virtual/xft
      Latest version available: 6.8
      Latest version installed: 6.8.2-r6
      Size of downloaded files:  [no/bad digest]
      Homepage:    http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/
      Description: Virtual for the Xft font library
      License:     GPL-2

He also gets this when doing a emerge:
"emerge -pv xft"

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] virtual/xft-6.8  0 kB

Total size of downloads: 0 kB

I also have tryed doing a unmerge like this:
"emerge -av --unmerge virtual/xft" and also tryed ""emerge -av
--unmerge virtual/xft" I get that is not found in other words

Any ideas on this would be great.

Sincerely,
Christopher
