Neil,
Sorry - this is a bit long but there's really only two issues - why
mozilla and - why two versions of libgtkhtml? Thanks.
I've taken one machine and worked on getting it cleaned up. This
machine is farily new and has a much more modest
/var/lib/portage/world file with about 125 entries. Before doing the
--depclean step emerge tells me
*** WARNING *** : emerge --update --deep --newuse world TO VERIFY
*** WARNING *** : SANITY IN THIS REGARD.
So I've gone through and made sure everything is updated, but I'm left
with two curious problems:
dragonfly ~ # emerge -pv --oneshot --update --deep --newuse world
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild U ] gnome-extra/libgtkhtml-2.6.3 [2.6.0] -accessibility
-debug 382 kB
[ebuild N ] www-client/mozilla-1.7.8 +crypt -debug +gnome +java
-ldap -mozdevelop -moznomail -moznoxft -mozsvg -mozxmlterm -postgres
+ssl -xinerama -xprint 30,193 kB
Total size of downloads: 30,576 kB
dragonfly ~ #
The first problem is that Mozilla is not in this system and it's not
in the world file. Why is emerge trying to bring it in?
dragonfly ~ # cat /var/lib/portage/world | grep mozilla
www-client/mozilla-firefox
dragonfly ~ #
The second problem is libgtkhtml. The results looked very strange
until I discovered that there are two versions installed:
dragonfly ~ # emerge -Cp libgtkhtml
>>> These are the packages that I would unmerge:
gnome-extra/libgtkhtml
selected: 2.6.0 3.2.5
protected: none
omitted: none
>>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
>>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.
dragonfly ~ #
Some commands want to update 2.6.0 to 2.6.3, while others want to
reinstall 3.2.5, and still others don't want to do anything!
dragonfly ~ # emerge -pv --oneshot --update --deep --newuse world
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies ...done!

Very strange to me! How should I handle this one?
Thanks,
Mark
