blocked packages installing cinnamon

[zomzilla]

hi,

trying to install cinnamon 1.4 (i am on testing) i get the error

<gnome-base/gnome-menus-3.0.1-r1:0 ("<gnome-base/gnome-menus-3.0.1-r1:0" is blocking gnome-base/gnome-menus-3.2.0.1-r1)

and further down

gnome-base/gnome-menus-2.30.5::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
gnome-base/gnome-menus:0[python] required by (gnome-extra/cinnamon-1.4::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)

(gnome-base/gnome-menus-3.2.0.1-r1::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
gnome-base/gnome-menus:3 required by (gnome-base/gnome-control-center-3.2.2-r1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)
>=gnome-base/gnome-menus-3.2.0.1-r1:3[introspection] required by (gnome-extra/cinnamon-1.4::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)


how can i solve this issue? there seems to be three versions of gnome-menu wanting to be installed and it doesnt work whether i manually install gnome-menus or not

i have updated my system aswell but to no avail

Do an "emerge -avuDN world" first, then "emerge -av cinnamon".

Do an "emerge -avuDN world" first, then "emerge -av cinnamon".

I have the same problem as the original poster. This didn't help.

I think the ebuild might be broken.

zomzilla,

Is the introspection use flag enabled for gnome-base/gnome-menus-3.2.0.1-r1? If not set it and re-emerge.

That looks like the problem

Good luck

The introspection flag is already set, so this isn't the problem.

I think the ebuild might be broken.

This is what I get so it's not the ebuild

Maybe this will help - gnome-base/gnome-menus-3.0.1-r1 only requires the introspection and python use flags.

[zomzilla]

N that case I may try setting use flags just for gnome menus

[doralsoral]

I am having the same problem. I installed 1.3 with no problems but now portage wants to update to 1.4 and is trying to pull in the blocked packages.

[doralsoral]

adding gnome-base/gnome-menus to package.keywords fixed the blocked packages. It may not work for everyone. Something wants gnome-menus-2.30 and adding it to keywords gnome-menus-3.0 gets pulled in but doesn't block gnome-menus-3.2 which is already installed on my machine. gnome-control center and gnome-shell seem to depend on it when using equery but trying to emerge them separately they do not try to pull it in. Im sure there is someone more knowledgable that can explain this.

Your dependency list fixed it for me. I'd unmasked a particular version of gnome-menus, not the right one for cinnamon-1.4.

Thanks.

[BrummieJim]

Yeah, I just took the version number off gnome-menus in the /etc/portage/package.keywords file and it's now building cinnamon. Thanks to all of the above for the help.

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `mozjs185.pc'

mozjs185.pc is dev-lang/spidermonkey.
But adding your posts to not really related old threads is quite annoying.

But adding your posts to not really related old threads is quite annoying.

@voidmage dude if it's really annoy you then please keep yourself refrain from giving answer. And I though it is very much related.Moreover I found so so many this kind of open ended discussion ,which has no perticular and concerete solution to the problem.

You better try to address those issues then flaming me for adding to a old thread...if nobody answer or have the answer then how do you term it as old???

I am coming to get solution or at least resolve others problem with very discrete and specific answer..nothing else...but I don't know about you.

[VoidMage]

It's about as related to the original problem as most "C compiler cannot create executables" are to each other.
