However, is you don't update LIB unless you update also APP you will prevent this problem*. SLOTs deal with this problem, allowing you to have LIB-1.0 and LIB-2.0 installed simultaneously. I'm afraid you misunderstood what I said. As you said, slots let different versions of the same package being installed in your system, however, that's only done when you REALLY need to do so; one of the cases in which you would have such a necessity is the one of a library which changes its API through versions in a way that breaks backwards compatibility. In this case you may have apps using the old API and apps using the new one, and hence you would need both versions installed. However, if you can go with only one version slots aren't used, can you imagine the great amount of garbage installed in your box if you had to use a new slot for every new version of a package? That's just crazy. In conclusion, if you update a library and uninstall its previous version (which you'd do very often, even if you haven't noticed it before) you may need to rebuild the apps using that library as well, there's no way you escape from that.

Remy Blank escribió: Abraham Marín Pérez wrote: That is indeed true, however, it will always be better keeping things right than breaking and fixing as a rule, don't you think? The thing is, you will *have to* break things at some point anyway. In your case, it will be when you decide to update LIB (because you want to have the new features, or because another package needs the new version). Between the LIB update and the APP recompilation, APP will be broken. Even worse, if you don't know that the LIB update will break APP, you might not notice immediately that APP is broken, or you might only get some strange results from APP. That's where revdep-rebuild steps in: it can tell you that APP is broken, and what's needed to fix it. So you're better off running it consistently after your regular updates. I'm not talking about not needing revdep-rebuild nor saying non-deep updates would prevent breaking dependencies, I just said that non-deep updates will *reduce* the amount of packages that need to be rebuilt. I systematically run revdep-rebuild after every update world (in fact, it's all in a script which performs update world, revdep-rebuild and update-eix), but I'd rather have it reinstalling 2 packages than 20.

If it's trying to pull in something you don't think is necessary then do an emerge -pe --tree and look at why it's getting pulled in. Either remove what's causing it to get rebuilt or let it get pulled back in. At this point it's lather and repeat if necessary. I've done this a couple of times. It' works but be careful that you don't reboot during the process as something might be gone that's still necessary. Hope this helps, Mark I'd proceed similar to this, but changing order: 1) Edit /var/lib/portage/world and unlist every unwanted package. 2) Edit /etc/make.conf and explicitly unset every use tag related to packages you don't want in your system. 3) run emerge --update --deep --newuse --ask world 4) run emerge --depclean --ask 5) run revdep-rebuild If you update your system before removing unwanted packages from world file you'll waste time updating packages that will be uninstalled afterwards (and big packages, must be said).

made by t-bird. Then you will see exactly what requests are being sent

myself again. I hit the same brick wall you did. It seems that the
current thunderbird does *not* support LDAP at all (although it does
present it as an option). I tried from an example on a website (to test
with their ldap), aswell as random off-my-head values but it does not
append it to the address book.
Maybe it's a thunderbird bug, I don't know (I haven't looked yet)?
All I'm doing here is confirming your problem, not solving it (although

Export them from evolution in one of those formats, and import them into thunderbird. OK, the IMAP problem is totally solved, I didn't know Thunderbird needed you to specify which folders you'd like it to read... I haven't solved the address book problem yet because Evolution doesn't seem to have a way to export all the contacts, so I'll try recompiling both Evolution and Thunderbird with ldap enabled...

[gentoo-user] Thunderbird and IMAP
Hi everyone, I recently migrated from Evolution to Mozilla Thunderbird and I must say that I has been a really good move ;-). However, I have a couple of problems to fix before finishing the migration; firstly, I can browse the main folder in an IMAP server, but I can't browse subfolders, although I could with Evolution (and still can). On the other hand, I've got loads of contacts in Evolution that I'd like to transfer to Thunderbird without copying all them by hand. Any help with either of these two problems? Thanks, Abraham -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
