 Posted: Thu Apr 11, 2013 2:18 am Post subject: Blocked Packages in emerge and equery are different |
 |
|
I am trying to troubleshoot some problems with emerging a version of gnome that will work.
I have blocked packages listed in emerge that don't match the results shown in equery. Clearly I am doing something wrong, but I don't know how to fix the problem.
Some blocks shown in an "emerge world -up":
[blocks B ] gnome-extra/gnome-media[pulseaudio] ("gnome-extra/gnome-media[pulseaudio]" is blocking gnome-base/gnome-control-center-3.6.3-r1)
[blocks B ] <gnome-extra/gnome-media-2.32.0-r300 ("<gnome-extra/gnome-media-2.32.0-r300" is blocking gnome-base/gnome-control-center-3.6.3-r1)
[blocks B ] <gnome-base/gnome-menus-3.0.1-r1:0 ("<gnome-base/gnome-menus-3.0.1-r1:0" is blocking gnome-base/gnome-menus-3.6.2)
Now, if I do an equery, I get different results:
bopper portage # equery depends gnome-menus
* These packages depend on gnome-menus:
gnome-base/gnome-panel-3.6.2 (>=gnome-base/gnome-menus-3.1.4:3)
Clearly something is causing the gnome-media block (I think it might be an old version of gnome), but how do I figure out what package it is? |

Your over thinking it. The "equery depends" output has nothing to do with the emerge block.
Just read the line that emerge gives you. It tells you the problem.
| Code: | | [blocks B ] <gnome-base/gnome-menus-3.0.1-r1:0 ("<gnome-base/gnome-menus-3.0.1-r1:0" is blocking gnome-base/gnome-menus-3.6.2) |
this breaks down to the installed version: | Code: | | [blocks B ] <gnome-base/gnome-menus-3.0.1-r1:0 |
the actual block: | Code: | | "<gnome-base/gnome-menus-3.0.1-r1:0" is blocking gnome-base/gnome-menus-3.6.2 |
You can see that the older installed version of gnome-menus is blocking the newer version of gnome-menus (NOTE the less than symbol at the start)
In this case you either need to emerge an intermediate version if there is one, or unmerge the current version and then emerge the new version.
The other block involves gnome-media, the second line is the one to pay attention to for the answer. | Code: | | "<gnome-extra/gnome-media-2.32.0-r300" is blocking gnome-base/gnome-control-center-3.6.3-r1 |
So, | Code: | emerge -1u gnome-media
emerge -1u gnome-control-center |
Should fix it.
