Help.
I can't get into gnome anymore. I had been running 2.1.5 (foser ebuilds) and ran a "emerge -u world". Somehow gnome got broken and I can't reemerge it. I cant even unmerge it. So I tried to emerge the older 2.0.x version but it stops in one of the packages so I'm back at trying 2.1.5 again.
How do I reemerge all gnome (2.1.5) packages? I have the 2.1.5 ebuilds in the portage tree.
When "emerge gnome":
| Code: |
root@lap strips # emerge gnome
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) gnome-base/gnome-2.1.5 to /
>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Source unpacked.
>>> Install gnome-2.1.5 into /var/tmp/portage/gnome-2.1.5/image/ category gnome-base
strip:
>>> Completed installing into /var/tmp/portage/gnome-2.1.5/image/
>>> Merging gnome-base/gnome-2.1.5 to /
* note that to change windowmanager to metacity do:
* export WINDOW_MANAGER="/usr/bin/metacity"
* of course this works for all other window managers as well
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
>>> gnome-base/gnome-2.1.5 merged.
gnome-base/gnome
selected: none
protected: 2.1.5
omitted: none
>>> clean: No packages selected for removal.
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
>>> Auto-cleaning packages ...
>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.
* GNU info directory index is up-to-date.
* IMPORTANT: 8 config files in /etc need updating.
* Type emerge --help config to learn how to update config files.

When unmerge gnome:
| Code: |
root@lap strips # emerge unmerge gnome
gnome-base/gnome
selected: 2.1.5
protected: none
omitted: none
>>> Packages in red are slated for removal.
>>> Packages in green will not be removed.
>>> Waiting 5 seconds before starting...
>>> (Control-C to abort)...
>>> Unmerging in: 5 4 3 2 1
>>> Unmerging gnome-base/gnome-2.1.5...
No package files given... Grabbing a set.
>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
* GNU info directory index is up-to-date.
* IMPORTANT: 8 config files in /etc need updating.
* Type emerge --help config to learn how to update config files.

emerge -up --nodeps gnome will list all the packages.
You should try fosers 2.2rc1 ebuilds. |

Thanks for the reply but I didn't list anything.
But I tried someting mentioned by "paul138" in another thread about unmerging kde.
So I finally got rid of gnome and now its recompiling.
| Code: | # emerge -up --nodeps gnome
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Sorry that was silly of me I put the wrong flag and had I thought about it it would have been obvious.
--nodeps tells portage to ignore dependencies and
--deep tells portage to merge the dependencies
emerge -up --deep gnome would have listed all the requirements
Sorry about that. |
