Hi, I try to update a system. I try to start by updating portage, but ...
emerge -vp sys-apps/portage These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild U ] sys-apps/sandbox-1.2.20_alpha2-r1 [1.2.17] 272 kB [ebuild U ] sys-apps/portage-2.1.5_rc3 [2.1.2.9] USE="doc -build -epydoc (-selinux)" LINGUAS="-pl" 436 kB *** Portage will stop merging at this point and reload itself, then resume the merge. [ebuild U ] app-shells/bash-3.2_p33 [3.2_p15-r1] USE="nls -afs -bashlogger -plugins% -vanilla" 2,564 kB [blocks B ] <sys-apps/portage-2.1.4_rc1 (is blocking app-shells/bash-3.2_p33) I.e. the new portage seems to require a new bash, but the new bash is blocked by the current portage. What can I do to escape? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
