The cause seems to be packages moving to other categories.
I get dependecy errors on x11-libs/gtkmm-1.2.*.
This is no surprise, as gtkmm has just been moved from x11-libs to dev-cpp. There is a procedure for updating existing packages if some package is moved to another category, but it seems to fail in my case:
Code: Select all
Performing Global Updates: /usr/portage/profiles/updates/3Q-2003
(Could take a couple minutes if you have a lot of binary packages.)
.='update pass' *='binary update' @='/var/db move'
..!!! Cannot update binary: Destination exists.
!!! x11-libs/gtkmm-2.2.0 -> dev-cpp/gtkmm-2.2.0
!!! Cannot update binary: Destination exists.
!!! x11-libs/gtkmm-1.2.9-r2 -> dev-cpp/gtkmm-1.2.9-r2

** Skipping packages. Run 'fixpackages' or set it in FEATURES to fix the
tbz2's in the packages directory. Note: This can take a very long time.
I don't know where the error of 'can't update binary' comes from. I've tried to search for it, but no hits. I'll try the 'fixpackages', but I hardly make binary packages, so I don't think that's where the problem lies.
