Hi,

I'm getting blocking errors on three packages:

[ebuild     U ] dev-python/pygobject-2.16.1 [2.14.2] USE="X -debug -doc -examples (-libffi%)" 511 kB
[uninstall    ] dev-python/pygtk-2.12.1-r2  USE="X -doc -examples"

[ebuild     U ] net-fs/nfs-utils-1.1.4-r1 [1.1.3] USE="tcpd -kerberos -nonfsv4" 575 kB

[blocks b     ] <gnome-base/gail-1000 ("<gnome-base/gail-1000" is blocking x11-libs/gtk+-2.14.7-r2)

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Remove the offending packages, run your emerge, then do a 'revdep-rebuild'.
Oh, and cross your fingers first.

Do

Code: Select all

emerge -1 --ask gnome-base/gail
emerge -1 --ask dev-python/pygtk

then try the update

Those are 'blocks b' not 'blocks B', emerge should go around them automatically.

I have a similar problem:

[blocks B ] <gnome-base/gail-1000 ("<gnome-base/gail-1000" is blocking x11-libs/gtk+-2.14.7-r2)
[blocks B ] <dev-python/gnome-python-2.22.1 ("<dev-python/gnome-python-2.22.1" is blocking dev-python/gnome-vfs-python-2.22.3, dev-python/libgnome-python-2.22.3, dev-python/libgnomecanvas-python-2.22.3, dev-python/libbonobo-python-2.22.3, dev-python/gnome-python-base-2.22.3)

Mine are Blocks B so I need to deal with them myself. When I try:

root@polonius:/home/dsegel 3>emerge -C gnome-base/gail dev-python/gnome-python

--- Couldn't find 'gnome-base/gail' to unmerge.

--- Couldn't find 'dev-python/gnome-python' to unmerge.

>>> No packages selected for removal by unmerge

So what do I do now?

Try adding '-t' to your emerge command to see, what's pulling them.
You are probably mixing stable and unstable, so you need to keyword
a few more packages.

Also, you may need to update portage first.

I do have a mix of stable and unstable, and unfortunately a lot of things that need to be updated. In the past emerge has always been good about telling me which dependencies were masked, so I kind of assumed it would do it this time as well.

I'm going to try to clear away some of the non-blocked updates first. If I can't figure it out with -t after that I'll report back.

It worked, thanks!
