Hi, while im trying to update my system i ran the command,

genPC ~ # emerge --update --deep --newuse world

and it gave some blocks in the packages;
Code:

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

[blocks B     ] sys-libs/com_err (is blocking sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.2)

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

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


So, thinking of removing the packages wich causes the blocks, i just checked the dependencies of them;
Code:

genPC ~ # equery d sys-fs/e2fsprogs     
[ Searching for packages depending on sys-fs/e2fsprogs... ]
gnome-extra/gnome-utils-2.20.0.1 (sys-fs/e2fsprogs)
sys-apps/parted-1.8.8 (>=sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.27)
sys-apps/util-linux-2.13.1.1 (>=sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.34)

genPC ~ # equery d sys-libs/ss     

[ Searching for packages depending on sys-libs/ss... ]
sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.40.8 (~sys-libs/ss-1.40.8)

genPC ~ # equery d sys-libs/com_err
[ Searching for packages depending on sys-libs/com_err... ]
sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.40.8 (~sys-libs/com_err-1.40.8)
sys-libs/ss-1.40.8 (~sys-libs/com_err-1.40.8)



(I) Im trying to figure out a solution, can someone pls suggest me what will be the safest way to get rid of this block.
(II)
If a block occurs after
emerge --update --deep --newuse world command
and then if i execute
emerge --depclean and revdep-rebuild
does it updates the system, or does it ignores updating the world just because there is a block in the package update?

Thankx in advance.

Here is the link to the sticky thread
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-712898-highlight-comerr.html
The following should work
Code:

# emerge -f e2fsprogs e2fsprogs-libs
# emerge --unmerge ss com_err e2fsprogs
# emerge e2fsprogs e2fsprogs-libs

It would probably be a good idea to make sure you had the distfile for com_err, because if the fix doesn't work, you can't download with emerge if com_err isn't installed, and the e2fsprogs update fails. Kind of unclear, but read the thread, and you will see ... well whatever.

Read this bug-report:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244511

make shure to have wget in /usr/portage/distfiles because you have to recompile it after you unmerge com_err. This is because it depends on com_err (if ssl)
