I'm trying to update a system that's been sitting idle for a while. I got the
following blocks initially:
# emerge -uD world
[blocks B ] <perl-core/File-Spec-0.87 (is blocking dev-lang/perl-5.8.6-r5)
[blocks B ] <=x11-themes/gnome-themes-2.8.2 (is blocking
x11-themes/gtk-engines-2.6.3)
[blocks B ] gnome-base/gnome-core (is blocking
gnome-base/gnome-desktop-2.10.0)
[blocks B ] gnome-base/gnome-desktop (is blocking
gnome-base/gnome-core-1.4.2-r1)
so I did:
# emerge unmerge x11-themes/gnome-themes gnome-base/gnome-core
gnome-base/gnome-desktop
Now I get:
# emerge -uD world
[blocks B ] gnome-base/gnome-desktop (is blocking
gnome-base/gnome-core-1.4.2-r1)
but neither of them is installed:
# emerge unmerge gnome-base/gnome-core
--- Couldn't find gnome-base/gnome-core to unmerge.
unmerge: No packages selected for removal.
# emerge unmerge gnome-base/gnome-desktop
--- Couldn't find gnome-base/gnome-desktop to unmerge.
unmerge: No packages selected for removal.
What do I have to do to clear the block?
What does emerge --oneshot gnome-core do for you?
