Wow! I made it! I'm in! Just installed my first Gentoo (Phew!). Its cool! I'm
up to part 2 of the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook Working With Gentoo and I've
managed to install a few things, namely vim, links, and xorg-server (As per the
Xorg server Configuration Guide) in addition the some essential tools mentioned
in the Handbook. I tried to install xfce4-meta (Xfce Configuration Guide)
code:
# emerge -avt xfce4-meta
... and was informed that I need to add +jpeg to my USE flags. So I did (minus
the plus sign:)
Then emerge said some packages are blocking each other. I tried unmerging the
blocking packages as per the Handbook. but they don't seem to be installed yet,
so that seems to rule out updating them. The Handbook says if two yet to be
installed packages are blocking each other I should file a bug report. I don't
understand bug reporting yet. I tried updating the system.
Code:
# emerge --update --deep world
... but I get the same meassage. Can anyone help? Heres my /etc/make.conf
# These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically
# built this stage.
# Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example.

[gentoo-user] Re: Blocked packages emerging xfce4-meta
Sorry Joost, but when I redirct the output of emerge to a file with Code: # emerge -va --update --deep world emerge-va-update-deep-world ... only two lines are written Code: These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies ... done! I tried putting this line in in /etc/make.conf and ran emerge again Code: /etc/make.conf PORT_LOGDIR=/var/log/portage But I can't find anything that looks relevant in /var/log/portage. How do I get all the other messages out so you can see them?

I'm not sure whether it is the case here, but oftentimes error messages are not printed on STDOUT. In this case the poster is talking about emerge's normal output. While this may be many things, it will never ever be sent to STDERR so the inclusion of 2 is certain to change nothing. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- Thanks for the feedback. 21 was what I needed.
