That is when updates to slotted packages are installed, wait until the next llvm/clang update. Old versions of a package in the same slot, or slot 0 for unslotted packages, are replaced with the new one, but new slots cause the behaviour you have seen. -- Neil Bothwick Why is there an expiration date on sour cream? pgpR7BgnJ98AO.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I don't remember that, although my memory might be less than stellar. Unless a package is slotted, an update replaces the old version, and hence nothing to depclean. Cheers, Arve

OK, thanks. I will try an update after a couple of days. On Fri, 30 Sep 2022 15:05:43 -0400, Arve Barsnes wrote: > > On Fri, 30 Sept 2022 at 20:47, John Covici wrote: > > > > Hi.

Probably a temporary problem. app-misc/tracker-miners requires a version of app-text/poppler with subslot 123, but only ones with subslot 122 and 124 currently exists in tree (as of my tree synced within the last 24 hours).

[gentoo-user] problem with emerge depclean after world update
Hi. So, when I tried to do my emerge depclean after my world update, which went through with no problems, I get the following message: Calculating dependencies... done! * Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to * the following required packages not being installed: * * >=app-text/poppler-0.16.0:0/123=[cairo] pulled in by: * app-misc/tracker-miners-3.4.0 But I have: ebuild R] app-text/poppler-22.09.0:0/124::gentoo USE="cairo cxx introspection jpeg jpeg2k lcms png qt5 tiff utils -boost -cjk -curl -debug -doc -nss -verify-sig" and ebuild R] app-misc/tracker-miners-3.4.0:3::gentoo USE="exif gif gstreamer iso jpeg networkmanager pdf playlist rss (seccomp) tiff upower xml -cue -ffmpeg -gsf -iptc -raw -test -xmp -xps" So, what have I done wrong this time -- or is it some kind of bug somewhere?
