Hi,

as I wrote a week ago, OI SFE repository is work in progress these days
because I am slowly rebuilding all components and fixing old packaging
bugs. For additional details see

I have also been blocked by this issue. I do understand that it is a volunteer effort and am very thankful for that effort.

It would be useful to know if the on-going SFE packaging effort will eventually magically "repair" these package problems (which might be blocking OI updates as well) or if much/most/all of existing SFE installations will need to be uninstalled so that the new SFE packages can be installed. It is currently not clear how to uninstall older packages from the GUI since several of them seem to not be mentioned by the GUI even though 'pkg' still knows about them.

Since yesterday, I don't seem to be finding GCC 4.6.2 or LLVM 3.1 that were there sometime earlier.

I have a from-scratch GCC install which unfortunately used several of the libraries from SFE with the conflicts. I will re-do this with my own from-scratch install of those libraries so that my private compiler is not dependent on these SFE libraries.
