1 Hello all,
2
3 Confused...
4
5 emerge -pvuDN world shows (among a few others):
6
7 [ebuild N ] virtual/modutils-0 0 kB
8
9 No warnings about blockers or anything are evident.
10
11 However, when I do emerge -pvuDN modutils (instead of 'world), I get the
12 following warning about blockers:
13
14 myhost : Sun Feb 05, 11:12:24 : ~
15 # emerge -pvuDN modutils
16
17 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
18
19 Calculating dependencies... done!
20 [ebuild N ] sys-apps/modutils-2.4.27-r1 0 kB
21 [uninstall ] sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.16-r1 USE="-static"
22 [blocks b ] sys-apps/modutils ("sys-apps/modutils" is blocking
23 sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.16-r1)
24 [blocks b ] sys-apps/module-init-tools
25 ("sys-apps/module-init-tools" is blocking sys-apps/modutils-2.4.27-r1)
26
27 Total: 1 package (1 new, 1 uninstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB
28 Conflict: 2 blocks
29 myhost : Sun Feb 05, 11:20:15 : ~

31 Then, when I try to perform the update, it fails with:
32
33 * Package 'sys-apps/modutils-2.4.27-r1' NOT merged due to file
34 * collisions. If necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole
35 * content of the above message.
36
37 >>> Failed to install sys-apps/modutils-2.4.27-r1, Log file:
38
39 >>> '/var/log/portage/sys-apps:modutils-2.4.27-r1:20120205-161149.log'
40
41 * GNU info directory index is up-to-date.
42 myhost : Sun Feb 05, 11:12:24 : ~
43
44 I hate guessing about things like this, but I'm 'guessing' that all I
45 need to do is:
46
47 emerge -C sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.16-r1
48 then
49 emerge -vuDN modutils
50
51 ?
52
53 Thanks,
