Yeah.... it allows me to see the denpends much better. Would I be able to mask those two packages manually or would that cause breakage??On Tue, 08 Aug 2006 17:52:45 +0000 Andrew Syrewicze wrote:Daniel da Veiga wrote:On 8/8/06, Andrew Syrewicze <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Hey eveyone. This is probably a really simple question. I've used debian for many years and recnetly made a permanent switch to gentoo, so i'm a bit noobish when it comes to portage.I had pretty much all the programs I want installed on my machine so i figured I should run an update to keep everything current, so i ran "emerge --update --deep world". This reinstalled two packages that I had recently removed like epiphany, and evolution. When I removed these prior to the update I followed the portage documentation on removing them, and ran the proper sequence of commands. so, my question is. How can I stop portage from reinstallin g these packages everytime I run an update???They're probably dependencies from another package. Try emerge -uDpvt world That is a short for "--update --depp --pretend --verbose --tree".I ran that command and they showed up in the list, among other things. How would I go about fixing that??? -andoOften evolution gets included because some other package has the eds (evolution data server) USE flag turned on. Try USE=-eds emerge -uDpvt world and see if they are included. (PS don't use USE= on the command line for anything other than --pretend (-p), if you want to change a USE flag either do it globally in /etc/make.conf or per package in /etc/portage/package.use also in tree view you can often who is depending on whom, they are in dependency order (and reverse of the order you get without --tree (-t) -ando |
