There you go, that's a good lad :-) > I'm gonna miss the sledgehammer though... Don't dismiss it entirely thoguh. It comes in handy when dealing with recalcitrant incorigible users. Very very handy indeed. A last note on emerge's output, especially with blockers: the time spent to read all the portage pages (several times) is time very well spent. I recommend when next you get blockers, is to rerun emerge with -t and take note of what packages cause a blocker to be pulled in or up|downgraded. make a list of everything involved and read the ebuilds. Plot it all out with pen and pencil, do this repetitively till you have a lightbulb moment where it all suddenly makes sense. Most folks around here have done this at some point and there doesn't seem to be a shortcut :-) -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
