1 Hi,
2
3 I try to update a system.
4 I try to start by updating portage, but ...
5
6 emerge -vp sys-apps/portage
7
8 These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
9
10 Calculating dependencies... done!
11
12 [ebuild U ] sys-apps/sandbox-1.2.20_alpha2-r1 [1.2.17] 272 kB
13 [ebuild U ] sys-apps/portage-2.1.5_rc3 [2.1.2.9] USE="doc -build -epydoc (-selinux)" LINGUAS="-pl" 436 kB
14 *** Portage will stop merging at this point and reload itself,
15 then resume the merge.
16 [ebuild U ] app-shells/bash-3.2_p33 [3.2_p15-r1] USE="nls -afs -bashlogger -plugins% -vanilla" 2,564 kB
17 [blocks B ] <sys-apps/portage-2.1.4_rc1 (is blocking app-shells/bash-3.2_p33)
18
19
20 I.e. the new portage seems to require a new bash, but the new bash is
21 blocked by the current portage.
22
23 What can I do to escape?
24
25 Many thanks for a hint,
