Can you give some more information about that? E.g. how one package
can
block another one?
I removed net-ftp/ftp (good riddance):
$ equery l net-ftp/ftp
!!! No installed packages matching 'net-ftp/ftp'
* Searching for ftp in net-ftp ...
But I'm still getting the same problem:
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "net-misc/inetutils".
emerge: searching for similar names...
emerge: Maybe you meant any of these: net-misc/iputils,
net-misc/tipcutils, net-misc/bridge-utils?
If you want help, you need to provide more information about your setup.
- Where is your portage tree?
- When did you last "emerge --sync" ?
- When did you last "emerge --update @world" ?
As someone else said, it looks like your tree is nearly two years out
of date. That could be why it can't find inetutils. If that is the
case, you really need to bring your system up to date before worrying
about installing any new packages. There have been other threads about
updating a system out of date by more than six months. It is possible,
but potentially difficult. It may also be helpful, if not necessary,
to delete some packages and then reinstall them once the system is
fully updated.
