I'm beginning to wonder if Gentoo is right for me any more. I swear, the dependencies and USE flag changes are killing me. Here's my latest fun:
I'm trying to upgrade kdelibs (to 4.2.4-r4) and I get this: > octavian ~ # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge -uav kdelibs > > These are the packages that would be merged, in order: > > Calculating dependencies... done! > > emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy > "~x11-libs/qt-core-4.5.2[-debug,-qt3support]". > !!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request: > - x11-libs/qt-core-4.5.2 (Change USE: -qt3support) > (dependency required by "x11-libs/qt-opengl-4.5.2" [ebuild]) > (dependency required by "kde-base/kdelibs-4.2.4-r4" [ebuild]) > (dependency required by "kdelibs" [argument]) > So, based on that I need to change my USE flag for qt-core-4.5.2 to [-qt3support], okay. I go into /etc/portage/package.use/monolithic to this: x11-libs/qt-core -qt3support (actually I just comment out the line, but in effect I'm removing qt3support from qt-core). When I do so and I re-run the update I get this: > emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy > "~x11-libs/qt-core-4.5.2[glib,qt3support,-debug]". > !!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request: > > - x11-libs/qt-core-4.5.2 (Change USE: +qt3support) > > (dependency required by "x11-libs/qt-gui-4.5.2-r2" [ebuild]) > > (dependency required by "kde-base/kdelibs-4.2.4-r4" [ebuild]) > (dependency required by "kdelibs" [argument]) So, which is it? It can't be both ways, and to be honest, trying to figure out which file needs which USE flag on what day is getting kinda silly. -- Interdum feror cupidine partium magnarum Europae vincendarum Mark Haney Sr. Systems Administrator ERC Broadband (828) 350-2415
