As a temporary workaround you can put those missing packages in |
| 20 |
/etc/portage/profile/package.provided like this: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
#cat /etc/portage/profile/package.provided |
| 23 |
gnome-base/gdm-2.20.10-r2 |
| 24 |
net-print/gnome-cups-manager-0.33-r1 |
| 25 |
x11-apps/xdm-1.1.8 |
| 26 |
gnome-extra/gnome-screensaver-2.26.1 |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Then remove them later when the repository problem settles down. |
