It goes around in circles - I have one blocker that I cannot make go away.

Code:
# emerge -p -uDN world
[lots of OK ebuild info]
[ebuild     U ] sys-apps/man-pages-3.20 [2.76] LINGUAS="-cs% -da% -de% -es% -fr% -it% -ja% -nl% -pl% -ro% -ru% -zh_CN%"
[blocks B     ] <sys-apps/man-pages-3 ("<sys-apps/man-pages-3" is blocking sys-apps/man-pages-posix-2003a)

 * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
 * installed at the same time on the same system.

  ('ebuild', '/', 'sys-apps/man-pages-posix-2003a', 'merge') pulled in by
    sys-apps/man-pages-posix required by ('ebuild', '/', 'sys-apps/man-pages-3.20', 'merge')

For more information about Blocked Packages, please refer to the following
section of the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook (architecture is irrelevant):

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?full=1#blocked
#
Yes - I refer to the Handbook. Then I try..
Code:
#emerge --unmerge man-pages-3
--- Couldn't find '=sys-apps/man-pages-3' to unmerge.
>>> No packages selected for removal by unmerge
# emerge --unmerge man-pages-posix-2003a
--- Couldn't find '=null/man-pages-posix-2003a' to unmerge.
>>> No packages selected for removal by unmerge
#
So what can I do? I am blocked by packages that cannot be found! :?
Please help if you can.

You've misunderstood the output (and you were stalling
- that move was made long ago).
It's just sys-apps/man-pages, that's due to splitting
sys-apps/man-pages into sys-apps/man-pages and sys-apps/man-pages-posix.

Emerge tells you that it needs a man-pages ver. >3 to install man-pages-posix-2003a, and you have ver. 2.76.
So first install >man-pages-3 and then proceed.

Code:
emerge -avO =man-pages-3.20
emerge -av man-pages


:wink:

@streamkid: no that output says something quite different.
It says you need to unmerge the old version before emerging the new one.
Shouldn't that be a soft block, though ?

@VoidMage:
We are saying the same thing :lol: It needs a needs a version >3. That means you have to get rid of the old version, install the new one, and try again.
Anyway, that should work.

@GTrax, try it and let us know :)

Firstly - thanks you guys for the help.
@VoidMage:
@streamkid:

OK - first thing was to get man-pages un-merged. It objected - but I proceeded, thinking it would be OK since man-pages v>3.0 would get restored soon anyway.
Code:
/# emerge --unmerge sys-apps/man-pages
!!! 'sys-apps/man-pages' is part of your system profile.
!!! Unmerging it may be damaging to your system.
Then .. I moved on to to bring in the later version, using the suggested command. It did not go well! :(
Code:
/ # emerge -avO =man-pages-3.20
<blah snip>
Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 1,067 kB
Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] y
>>> Verifying ebuild manifests
>>> Emerging (1 of 1) sys-apps/man-pages-3.20
>>> Downloading 'http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/man-pages-3.20.tar.bz2'
wget: error while loading shared libraries: libcom_err.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
<... and lots more of the same ..snip>
As it happens, I did then check with emerge -p -uDN world. The resulting list was huge, but yippee, the warning about the blocker was gone! Thinking then to set it on its way, and to put the man-pages back afterward, was another bad move (confesses ignorance and fumbles here :oops: )
Code:
miranda / # emerge  -uDN world
Calculating dependencies... done!
>>> Verifying ebuild manifests
>>> Starting parallel fetch
>>> Emerging (1 of 319) dev-libs/expat-2.0.1-r1
>>> Downloading 'http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/expat-2.0.1.tar.gz'
wget: error while loading shared libraries: libcom_err.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
<.. and another 13 until the abort .. snip>
I am thinking now that I may have a system getting so tangled, it may be easier start over - possibly first stashing my working custom hand-tuned kernel .config c/w Ingo Molnar's RT patches somewheres safe. Maybe I can try and clean it up by just trying to make it a minimal install. There just isn't an emoticon quite up to the job of expressing what I feel ( :oops: ^2!!) this sort of stuff could get me a honorary membership at the Not Terribly Good Club of Great Britain. (Try Google)

Well, it seems you've waited too long.
That error means you've hit (libss+libcom_err)->e2fsprogs-libs set of problems
- people have dealt with it months ago.
Yes, it was a bit bumpy ride at first, but the sticky is still here -
of course it's bit late for you.

Oh crumbs! That sticky has got posts right up to a couple of days ago. Closing in on "People have dealt with it months ago", is the Gentoo Stage 3 Tarball and Portage now fixed? Also - is starting over the best way?
Anyways - thanks much for your replies.
