Do I need gnome-python-extras? [solved]

Message

blueflame · Post by **blueflame** » Mon May 04, 2009 10:01 am

I'm running a Gnome desktop. My latest emerge gave blocking problems with gdl/libgdl. Unmerging gnome-python-extras has seemed to resolve the issue. However, now I'm wondering why the heck I have gnome-python-extras in the first place. Just wondering if it's part of the gnome meta-ebuild or what.

Can anyone provide a quick answer?

Thx.

Hi, did you try that :

Code: Select all

# equery depends gnome-python-extras

Yes, equery says nothing depends on it... but I don't fully trust equery

Did you ever install any of these?

I also ran into this blocker. To get around it I unmerged the gdl, gnome-python-extras and gnome-python-extras-base followed by emerge --oneshot gnome-build That cleared the problem for me and I could resume the update later.

Edit: and of cause I was wrong... and the update failed halfway... time for some real investigatigation...

I cant find a way around this. In my case it is gnochm that pulls the offending packages and by removing that everything is fine. But I cannot merge it and I can't resolv the following blocker:

Same thing here. Better wait for a fix...

No, but thanks for pointing out the "-a" option to equery. I'm pretty sure I don't need gnome-python-extras now.
