The GNOME people have now made dbus a hard-coded dependancy of the |
| 23 |
latest gtk+. systemd can't be far behind. I've had dbus masked since |
| 24 |
it arrived approximately the same time as HAL. Here's what I get when |
| 25 |
trying to update gtk+ |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
[i660][waltdnes][~] emerge -pv --backtrack=0 gtk+ |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Calculating dependencies... done! |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-apps/dbus-1" have been masked. |
| 36 |
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: |
| 37 |
- sys-apps/dbus-1.6.18-r1::gentoo (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword) |
| 38 |
- sys-apps/dbus-1.6.18::gentoo (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword) |
| 39 |
- sys-apps/dbus-1.6.16::gentoo (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword) |
| 40 |
- sys-apps/dbus-1.6.14::gentoo (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword) |
| 41 |
- sys-apps/dbus-1.6.12::gentoo (masked by: package.mask) |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
(dependency required by "app-accessibility/at-spi2-atk-2.8.1" [ebuild]) |
| 44 |
(dependency required by "x11-libs/gtk+-3.8.7[X]" [ebuild]) |
| 45 |
(dependency required by "gtk+" [argument]) |
| 46 |
For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge |
| 47 |
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. |
