Hi, I'm using portage-2.2_rc33. And it has become smarter with every new release. Still, I don't understand why it's sometimes smarter than other times.
In most cases now, it's able to handle cases where installed old packages which depend on, say, libXX-version-1, block emerging libXX-version-2 by unmerging the old version itself. But sometimes, like today when upgrading from various qt-...-4.5.1 to qt-...-4.5.2 packages it produces tons of blockings which it cannot resolve itself. How can I help portage to resolve this blockings itself in a smart way? (trying to do emerge --keep-going -j2 -1 --ask --update --newuse --deep @system @world automatically. ) Many thanks for a hint, Helmut. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany
