Don't dismiss it entirely thoguh. It comes in handy when dealing with |
| 11 |
recalcitrant incorigible users. Very very handy indeed. |

A last note on emerge's output, especially with blockers: the time spent to |
| 14 |
read all the portage pages (several times) is time very well spent. I |
| 15 |
recommend when next you get blockers, is to rerun emerge with -t and take |
| 16 |
note of what packages cause a blocker to be pulled in or up|downgraded. make |
| 17 |
a list of everything involved and read the ebuilds. Plot it all out with pen |
| 18 |
and pencil, do this repetitively till you have a lightbulb moment where it |
| 19 |
all suddenly makes sense. |

Most folks around here have done this at some point and there doesn't seem to |
| 22 |
be a shortcut :-) |
