Because those two versions are anywhere near source or binary compatible. Glib changed significantly between 1.x and 2.x, so that programs written against 1.x have to be non-trivially ported to 2.x. I'm also not sure if there is any way to support 1.x and 2.x of glib from the same codebase. If not, that would make migration doubly difficult. > I > tried every combination of keywords and masks and use flags so far in > this thread on 2 different computers and I get errors that the packages > can't be installed, and I keep running into the same bug as the top of > this thread. Am I missing something? Yes. Clearly, you are incapable of following our directions without a bit more guidance or doing any independent research on the problem. I can provide that guidance for the low price of 28.50 USD an hour, with a minimum charge of 4 hours; you'll have gnucash installed at the end or no charge at all. To get started, I'll need your payment information and the contents of /etc/portage/package.* and /etc/make.conf and the output of 'emerge --info', 'ls /etc/portage', 'ls -d /etc/make.profile'; I believe the list would prefer you send this information with private email. For a more expensive, but very reasonable 42.75 USD an hour, you can just give me root access to your Gentoo box(es) and I'll fix them all. While you do take a bit of a risk (I can do anything with root access, right?), since my access is part of a business arragement my liability for damage I cause, especially intentionally, just went up 10x (or more), at least in my jurisdiction. > If this is a but, won't it be > fixed in some new version of portage? There *a* bug covered at the top of the thread. It is (1) not a bug with portage, but rather a single package and (2) not likely to get fix since that version of the package depends on (broken) glib 1.x. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =.
