[gentoo-dev] Problems updating Qt from 4.8.6 to 4.8.7
Hi there! I'm having trouble updating Qt:4 (dev-qt/qt*-4.8*:4) from 4.8.6 to 4.8.7. Looking at the ebuilds, they require some 4.8.7 versions to be installed already that in turn cannot be installed because other ebuilds require 4.8.6 while not yet upgraded. I am running the latest version of portage. Is there some trick I should know about or am I stuck with Qt 4.8.6 on that box forever? How did you update? Thanks for your help, best, S

If even one piece is not pulled into the dep list, it will try to hold all the rest of the pieces back at 4.8.6. Something like this may help, to just force all installed qt4 pieces to upgrade, regardless of whether they are deps of anything: emerge -1av $(qlist -ICS dev-qt/ | grep 4$) Another possibility for a conflict is if you have some package.use entries for dev-qt/ that are too version specific, where the upgraded 4.8.7 version of some component would not meet the USE requirements of some reverse dep. Then it'd lock that one component at 4.8.6 and again it's game-over for the upgrade. Hope this helps, Ben Kohler (iamben @ Freenode)

Right now, it looks like I have to use emerge -C .. to un-install them completely, temporary breaking Qt and installing 4.8.7 fresh. I'm still hoping for some way to not needing to do that. Alternatively, just try emerge --update --deep world - it probably should work if you have a consistent, complete and updateable world set. That's where I'm coming from. It doesn't stop complaining because of Qt. Best, Sebastian
