Dear gentooers,
I have 2 strange portage behavior since I updated portage a few days ago.
First, It seems portage cannot find server anymore to update the portage
tree.
Portage freezes (in fact it doesn't do anything) and says: Checking
server timestamp...
I can still update by using emerge-websync so this problem is not
critical....yet!
The second issue I experience is that I cannot update my system because
I have 2 ebuilds that block the entire update.
I've already seen this issue once and I found a solution by masking one
of the blocking ebuild so I tried this time but the update cannot be
done anyway.
This problem is much more critical for me since I can't update my system
anymore !
Here is the output of an " emerge -pvuDt world"
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
Calculating world dependencies ...... done!
