Hi all,
I've got a PC that I use as a media computer, music, videos etc. I
haven't updated it in ages so decided now is the time to give it a go. I
issue the command, and subsequently get:
***************************
harold ~# emerge --pretend -NuD world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy
"dev-vcs/subversion[-dso,perl]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-vcs/subversion-1.6.15 (Change USE: -dso)
(dependency required by "dev-vcs/git-1.7.4_rc3" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "sys-devel/gettext-0.18.1.1-r1" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "dev-libs/popt-1.16-r1" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "dev-util/pkgconfig-0.25-r2" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "dev-lang/python-3.1.3" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "app-admin/python-updater-0.8" [installed])
***************************
Well, it's a media computer so subversion shouldn't be there - I think
it's a leftover from a previous task for this machine. So I now issue
the command, and once again get:
***************************
harold ~ # emerge -C subversion
* This action can remove important packages! In order to be safer, use
* `emerge -pv --depclean <atom>` to check for reverse dependencies before
* removing packages.
--- Couldn't find 'null/subversion' to unmerge.
>>> No packages selected for removal by unmerge
harold ~ #
***************************
So, I'm now confused. I'm not a "Portage rocket scientist", but my
reading of this is that subversion needs some flags set, but subversion
isn't there!!!! Is this correct? Any ideas as to how I can get myself
out of this pickle?
Any thoughts greatly appreciated,
Andrew
