the October 13, 2003 newsletter (http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20031013-newsletter.xml) says about installing gnome 2.4:
" New GNOME users will have no problem installing this release by executing emerge gnome, but those upgrading from 2.2 should keep a few things in mind in order to make the transition smooth. First of all, bonobo-activation has been merged into libbonobo in versions after 2.4.0, so bonobo-activation will block the upgrade. The best method to deal with this problem is to emerge -u gnome until the blocking bonobo-activation is hit, then emerge -C bonobo-activation and then emerge -u gnome again to resume the upgrade."
But, when I do emerge -u gnome, it doesn't want to build the packages, even up to when the bonobo-activation is hit:
>emerge -u gnome
Calculating dependencies ...done!
!!! Error: the gnome-base/bonobo-activation package conflicts with another package.
!!! both can't be installed on the same system together.
!!! Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers.
What is the best method then to upgrade to gnome 2.4?
BTW, do I really have to emerge -u (this will recompile glibc, Xfree, etc...)?
Thanks,
LB
