Re: [gentoo-user] emerge world failing with No module name libxml2
Sorry for the slow reply. I was expecting more people interested in sharing their insights into updating old, ancient-grade dinosaur systems. :) On 10/20/08, Brian Wince [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So the -I ignores the versions of packages installed and just fixes packages broken by a python upgrade, independent of the version? Yes, I'd think for example in terms of the difference between emerge foo and emerge =foo-1.2.3. AFAICT, python-updater does the latter by default, but with the -i option it is given a permission to do the former within a slot. Since most packages only have a single slot, the within a slot becomes irrelevant for them. I understand that slots can be used to install different versions of an app but not sure how that relates to python-updater. Sorry if I lead you too much into this slot territory. The slots are more of a red herring here, or just a small, distracting detail. For most packages slots won't matter. But there are the few, like qt, for which it is important to keep within a slot. Therefore it is nice that helpful scripts, like python-updater, try to provide automagic support for the slotting related stuff where it is needed. Still, python-updater -i is not guaranteed to fix your original problem, it was just a suggestion. The problem might not even lay with libxml2, but one of its dependencies, their dependencies, or dependencies of python itself. If you haven't already tried it, then revdep-rebuild from the gentoolkit package is your other friend. You might need try running it first and then retry with the python-updater. -- Arttu V.

2008/10/20 Brian Wince [EMAIL PROTECTED]: All, I am trying to use emerge –uDN world to upgrade from an older snapshot to 20081008 and I cannot seem to get past the issues with module libxml2.

RE: [gentoo-user] emerge world failing with No module name libxml2
That may work I will need to give it a shot later today and see if it helps. So the -I ignores the versions of packages installed and just fixes packages broken by a python upgrade, independent of the version? I guess I really do not understand what this means. I understand that slots can be used to install different versions of an app but not sure how that relates to python-updater. Brian -Original Message- From: Arttu V.
