 |
|
| Code: | (sys-libs/gpm-1.20.7-r2:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on
(sys-libs/ncurses-6.0-r1:0/6::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime_slot_op)
(sys-libs/gpm-1.20.7-r2:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)
It might be possible to break this cycle
by applying the following change:
- sys-libs/ncurses-6.0-r1 (Change USE: -gpm)
Note that this change can be reverted, once the package has been installed. |
How do i go about appying that chance and then reverting it? should i revert in the first place?. Thanks for your time.

| Code: | echo "sys-libs/ncurses -gpm" >> /etc/portage/package.use
emerge -av1 sys-libs/ncurses |
Try that, then continue with the emerge you were doing previously.
If that's successful you can try removing the line added to /etc/portage/package.use & rebuilding ncurses with gpm enabled. |

Mrmanitech,
Something that will drop out naturally ..
| Code: | | USE=-gpm emerge -av1 sys-libs/ncurses |
Normally, command line USE flays are a very bad thing as portage will not remember them for future emerges but in this case, its exactly what you want.
Now you can do your original emerge which should include rebuilding ncurses with USE=gpm.
