No, why should it? You have to tell it to do so.

Newer versions of portage, will take care of those standard blockers themself.

 Pretty standrad blocker - been around for a while on ~arch.

 coreutils now provides what used to be in mktemp, so

 emerge -C mktemp ; emerge coreutils

 will sort it

However that will leave you without the mktemp binary while coreutils gets 
built. Unlikely to be a problem, unless a reboot happens in the middle, and 
still probably quite recoverable.

I've taken to making sure the collision-protect FEATURE is not set (which it 
isn't by default I believe), then removing the mktemp portage DB entry.
# mv /var/db/pkg/sys-apps/mktemp-1.5/ ~
With mktemp apparently not installed, no blocker exists, and you've still got 
the binary. Portage will complain when it comes to install the new coreutils, 
but just ignore it's complaint.

[gentoo-user] Curious emerge behaviour.

2008-07-02 Thread James Homuth
I went to run emerge update, and it threw this curious little block 
loop at me. emerge --pretend --quiet --update --deep world produces:
[blocks B ] sys-apps/mktemp (is blocking 
sys-apps/coreutils-6.10-r2) 

[blocks B ] =sys-apps/coreutils-6.10 (is blocking 
sys-apps/mktemp-1.5)


Anyone else having this particular problem? Is it a compatibility 
issue with either coreutils or mktemp? I'm assuming removing the one 
will eliminate it, but if it's a needed package I'd rather not chance 
it. Any info on this one would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, I've had this problem and I am sure many others did too...mktemp
was a seperate package, but is now included in coreutils. All you have
to do is emerge -C mktemp and then update to the new version of
coreutils. I've done this on at least 3 comps, so it should work for
you with no problems for you.

If you just searched the archives...

New coreutils contains mktemp - coreutils blocks mktemp - emerge -C mktemp 
 emerge coreutils

HTH...
