If there's stuff you really need on the drive, try making an image of the
device (that is, use the /dev device name) with ddrescue, then mount that
image and run photorec (from "testdisk") over the mounted image.

What this is saying is that:

1) media-sound/picard-2.0.0_beta1 requires dev-qt/qtgui:5 with the
"accessibility" flag enabled

2) dev-qt/qtgui-5.9.4-r3 states that if the "accessibility" flag is
enabled, then both the "dbus" and "xcb" flags must also be enabled on
that package (and portage is saying that at least one of them is not
currently enabled)

Your fix would probably be to set the "accessibility", "dbus", and "xcb"
flags for dev-qt/qtgui:5 (dbus is probably already enabled).

I don't get that at all with this snippet:

  $ cat test.sh
  #!/bin/bash
  if [ -f foo* ] ; then
  echo "foo exists"
  fi
  $ 

This makes me suspect you've got `#!bash -x` (or -e?) as your first line, or 
something.

When you encounter a problem you don't understand, create the most minimal 
program you can to reproduce the problem. If you can't reproduce it, add to it 
one step at a time until it becomes what you're trying to do.

If you were using a loop, you could do something like this:
for file in /path/to/files
do test -f $file || continue
rm $file
done

Care to post the entire script, so we could probably come up with the
right solution for you?

You don't need to mask anything. Portage is simply telling you, in its
own cryptic way, that the newer xorg doesn't work with nvidia-drivers.
Effectively it has created the mask for you and will remove it when the
time is right. If you mask it manually, you won't know when to unmask it
and that may cause problems later.

[gentoo-user] [OT] Kinda "try ... catch" in a shell script...how

[tuxic]

Hi,

I have a coyple of files on my harddisk and on a mobile usb-disc.

Their names are of that pattern:

 something--something

where 'soemthing' can be totally different from file to file and
'' is a checksum, which does not match the checksum of the
according file.

I want to delete the files on my harddisk, which has a ''
which matches the '' of the according file on the mobile 
harddisk.

The problem arises from a line of the shellscript I wrote.

# code to extract the checksum from the file and put into
# a variable named crc

if [ -f /*$crc* ] ; then

# remove file on PC harddisk here

fi

As soon the file is not found, the script ends with an 'Not found'
error, which '-f' is exactly for, because the expanding comes before
the '-f'...

So I need something else or a try-catch-thingy to make that work...but
how?

Or do I miss the forest for the trees here... ;)

Thanks a lot for the forest in advance!
Cheers
Meino
