I have a new Gentoo instalation on a laptop, and am one blocker away from
emerge --update --deep --newuse world. The only problem is I'm not exactly
sure how to resolve the block without potentially breaking the system.
[blocks B ] <sys-apps/man-pages-3 ("<sys-apps/man-pages-3" is blocking
sys-a
* Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
* installed at the same time on the same system.
('ebuild', '/', 'sys-apps/man-pages-posix-2003a', 'merge') pulled in by
sys-apps/man-pages-posix required by ('ebuild', '/',
'sys-apps/man-pages-3.2
My instinct tells me unmerge the current version, emerge the new version
sans dependancy, then update world. But common sense is trying to tell me
that's likely to cause all kinds of sideways breakage. Is there a better way
to go about that process. I know I've installed this on both my servers, but
I think man-pages-posix showed up after I'd already upgraded man-pages so
there was no blocker. Again, though, can't remember. Thanks anyone for the
help.
