[gentoo-user] Safe to install libpng-1.2.44?
After an emerge --sync on an ~x86 system, the upgrade to opera-10.60 wants to install libpng-1.2.44 in a new slot. Considering all of the problems surrounding the upgrade to libpng-1.4.3, is it safe to let portage install libpng-1.2.44?

David, you mentioned in the bug that you couldn't get the patch to

patched Typemap for me to download. Did it work then but not now?

The patched Typemap created by hand works fine, but when you attempt

It's really hard for me to determine the exact cause because there seem

consider recompiling GTK first. It seems to me that most of my
frustrations with stuck compilations can be solved by revdep-rebuild or
judicious recompilation of dependencies and making sure env-update has
been done and my environment is correct. I have become so use to exec

I just checked the latest guest additions iso file and it does indeed have support for OS/2. I have nothing against qemu-kvm, but virtualbox's guest additions really do make life easier for file sharing and other nice things like not capturing the mouse pointer and being able to resize the guest window without changing the screen resolution of the guest.

If I understand that correctly, he has already done the upgrade but now something needs the old package installed in addition to the new one. OP, my thinking is this. Be prepared for some packages to rebuild when you run revdep-rebuild. Part of me says that there won't be any but one can never be certain of these things. Also, when I did my upgrade I had no GUI until it rebuilt the packages. Again, one can never be certain of these things. I would do this: emerge opera run revdep-rebuild -i and say a prayer if you think it will help. emerge -uvDNa world and hope it comes out clean, provided it was clean before you started this. Wouldn't hurt to have a second puter around to get help here if you run into trouble. ;-) Dale :-) :-)

I would recommend avoiding that until Opera is upgraded. I did have for a while both 1.2 and 1.4 slots installed and some things got dynamically linked with both of them.

Re: [gentoo-user] who wants to downgrade my gcc ?
Neil Bothwick wrote: On Thu, 24 Jun 2010 09:22:56 -0500, Dale wrote: @world includes @system. But the problem is not that emerge world is skipping it but that it wants to downgrade gcc:4.4. From my understanding, world includes @system but @world does not. I know here on my rig, I run emerge -uvDNa world and it updates everything installed including deps and the system packages. If I run @world, it skips the system packages. At least that is the last time I tried it which was not to long ago. One reason I remember this is because of the discussion I had with the devs on -dev. That is why @system is in /var/lib/portage/world_sets. I noticed a few weeks ago that there are a couple others added to it as well. The devs did it that way so that when folks like me upgrade the old fashioned way and just use world instead of @system and @world. Has this changed? No, the world_sets file still includes @system by default, which is why @world includes @system. The additions are from when you emerged sets, which adds then to world_sets. But if you removed, temporarily, the @system from the world sets, then you get just one. Did this a while back and it worked at the time. Not going to say it would work today tho. We all know how portage is. It is like shooting a bullet with another bullet. ;-) As was pointed out to me many times, @system is not the same as system. Same can be said for world and @world. Sorry so long to reply. Dale :-) :-)
