I'm trying to install k3b. One of its dependancies is transcode. The |
| 2 |
emerge stopped at transcode with specific errors, When checking |
| 3 |
bugzilla I see this is a known problem. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
I'm not sure how to proceed from here. For example: If I have emerge |
| 6 |
install a version that doesn't appear in the bug reports (several |
| 7 |
versions back) how would that effect the install of k3b. Wouldn't it |
| 8 |
still want to install the problem version? |

Can I do something in /etc/portage/package.provided that will allow |
| 11 |
the old build to stand? I'm familiar with how it works on backages |
| 12 |
that are a version or two ahead. But somewhere, when I read up on |
| 13 |
package.provided it said this would work as long as the package listed |
| 14 |
there was a newer version. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I currently have: |
| 17 |
cat /etc/portage/package.provided |
| 18 |
rsnapshot-1.2.2 |
| 19 |
bacula-1.48.5 |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
In both cases those are newer than anything in portage (even masked). |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I'd rather not build transcode by hand because the emerge of k3b |
| 24 |
showed a complicated string of deps and it seems like I could get in a |
| 25 |
pretty good mess going outside of portage for some pieces of it. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Can someone outline a proceedure for a case like this? |
