I don't even want power management so I would prefer if I could just skip this package, but it's being brought in as a dependency. Here is the end of the build log.

As I said, if there's a way to skip this package altogether, that would be best. I don't even have a laptop. I don't need power management or a maintainer.

Well, did you check what's depending on it? Perhaps there's a use flag you can turn off to prevent it from being added to the dep list? (-apm or similar?)

I tried "-apm" for gnome just now, but it still got pulled in. Next I'll try to make it a system wide USE flag and emerge --newuse ...
EDIT: It only gets pulled in with emerge gnome. No other package pulls it in.

Ah, that's why. "emerge gnome" is a meta-package that pulls in all of the gnome components, which that's probably a member of. You probably should file a bug on this error, if it's reproducible and the rest of your system is up to date.

|

I am putting gentoo on my new playstation III and I ran into the same problem.
So I decided on a rather crude approach, Diddle the conf files! actually the only file I had to fool around with was .../help/C/gnome-power-manager.xml
I added a few lines between "</author>" and "<!-- This is appropriate place for other contributers" lines (around line 57)
I added:
| Code: |
<maintainer>
<firstname>ME</firstname>
<surname>meme</surname>
<email>none@thevoid.com</email>
</maintainer>
|
then I backed out to the gnome-power-manager.x.x dir (cd ../..) , and ran configure, and make a few times (configure may not be needed) make kicked out errors the first couple of times while it copied my handywork into other copys of gnome-power-manager.xml in the sv, and ru dirs. then eventually, make ran clean, I ran "make install", then dropped back to the root dir, and reran emerge gnome. I was happy to see that it had one less psckage to build, and didn't seem to bother with gnome-power-manager.
Sloppy fix i know, and apologies for lack of code, but i am copying this by hand as my ps3 compiles the last of the gnome packages.
-cabe
EDIT: Wrote too soon! Make works fine, but portage comes back around, and tries to reinstall it (after it installs a few other packages).
EDIT2: after it crashed with the error, i typed emerge agaiun to make sure it would try the same package, then cancelled it, and typed emerge --skipnext
Now i have gnome on a playstation! |

PS3cabe, the easy, simple way was to add gnome-power-manager in /etc/portage/package.provided.  This will skip the installation of said package. |

Sodki,
That sounds like an excellent idea.  (a real eye opener)
That's what I will do.

Thanks for posting that bug report.
Edit: I just sync'ed and updated gnome. Gnome-power-manager emerged (or got ignored) with no problem. Problem solved.
