This happened to me yesterday, except with a twist. For a change, I did |
| 22 |
an emerge -uaDNtv world instead of without a --newuse like normal, and I |
| 23 |
got a block, because of emelfm2: |
| 24 |

Calculating dependencies ...done! |

| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Now, since I use gamin, fam wanted to install, and was (naturally) |
| 34 |
blocked by gamin. Fortunately, emelfm2 has a 'gamin' USE flag, so I just |
| 35 |
disabled fam and enabled gamin to clear the block. |
| 36 |

Comparing this to your situation, it looks like 'fam' is a new USE flag, |
| 38 |
enabled by default (since fam is installed by default). I don't really |
| 39 |
have much of a problem with that-- except I misss the corresponding |
| 40 |
'gamin' USE flag for the programs you are upgrading. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
However, I also assume that these programs may not be able to use gamin, |
| 43 |
or have not been updated to use a virtual/fam rather than fam itself. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
Either way, I would be clued that these programs were out of date in |
| 46 |
some respect, and would start checking their current status on the web |
| 47 |
page: are they currently maintained? are there plans to enable gamin |
| 48 |
support? If not, then I would check Bugzilla to see if a bug had been |
| 49 |
filed to allow for virtual/fam instead of fam directly. If not, I would |
| 50 |
copy the ebuilds to my overlay and modify them to take a virtual/fam, |
| 51 |
and install those. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
If they worked that way, I would submit the modified ebuilds to b.g.o. |
