That was a good idea, one that I ought to have thought of but didn't.
Unfortunately, it's made no difference at all. Emerge -upDvN world still
gives the same block:

Thanks for your help so far; I think though that I'll continue building the
clean system as well in case your optimism proves unfounded. At least with
two systems I can pursue both lines independently.

Something you are trying to emerge as part of the world update depends on
qt-4.3*, so it is trying to install 4.3 and 4.4, that's the cause of the
block. Blocks aren't always the result of installed packages, only
those that would be installed at the end of the emerge.

qt3 seems to be unrelated to this, but a full backup is unnecessary.
quickpkg qt3 before unmerging it. If the system goes TU you can emerge -k
it.

No, that is incorrect and your reading of the output is wrong.
Emerge detects blockers by looking at what is currently on the machine or what
it wants to install and seeing if that will block with what is on the machine
or what will be installed.
You do not have to have a package installed to create a block - it can be
caused by something that is due to be emerged (and hence will only be
installed in the future).
Look at the second blocker line. It says:
<=x11-libs/qt-4.4.0_alpha:4
That means:
- a version in SLOT 4
- the version number is less than 4.4.0_alpha is blocking/blocked by qt-4.4.2
You do not have such a package installed. That's cool.
You need to find out why portage thinks it must install such a thing. That's
why I asked you for emerge -t earlier. Find an entry for
<=x11-libs/qt-4.4.0_alpha:4 in that list and look above it to see what pulled
it in. Fix that thing and portage will stop trying to pull in an old version
of qt and your problem will go away.
I earnestly recommend you do not go through a full reinstall. That will teach
you nothing. You need to go through this at least once to learn how to deal
with it, it's a necessary gentoo skill

So I think it is worth a try. If this is the case portage tries to pull qt-4.4.3 because it is needed by PyQt-4.4 plus the qt split ebuilds which are needed by some other packages. So putting versions of PyQt and sip in package.keywords which depemd on qt split ebuilds should solve it. If I remember right I have this entries in my package.keywords too.

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=240149 identified the fix!
When python2.6 was installed, the entry in /usr/bin was created:
$$$ ls -l /usr/bin/python*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root ... python -> //usr/bin/python2.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root ... python2 -> python2.5
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root ... python2.5
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root ... python2.6
The "//" in the symlink causes the problem. The problem was fixed
with the following commands:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] portage # eselect python list
Available python interpreters:
[1] python2.5
[2] python2.6 *
[EMAIL PROTECTED] portage # eselect python set 2
so /usr/bin now has
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root ... python -> /usr/bin/python2.6
(with a single slash) and all is good!

You probably upload the wrong file. This can't be this one.
But I think I found the problem, and it seems to be a bug : make is
actually failing on this line in the Makefile :

Can you please run the following commands to copy the ebuild to an
overlay ( assuming /usr/local/portage is the overlay ) :
# cd /usr/local/portage
# mkdir -p app-office/abiword/files
# cd app-office/abiword

Then, edit abiword.2.6.4.ebuild, and add the following src_unpack
function :

Download the fix-build.patch from here to /tmp/fix-build.patch :

Finally run :

# cp /tmp/fix-build.patch files/
# ebuild abiword.2.6.4.ebuild digest
# emerge =abiword-2.6.4
If it fix the problem, you should open a bug at http://bugs.gentoo.org,
with your emerge --info, the build log when it fails, and the patch.

[gentoo-user] what can I do besides waiting or complaining about missing kompozer?
Dear all Life without Kompozer is a pain to me. Nvu has some historical bug that was killed in kompozer. My daily work require wysiwyg HTML editor a lot because my work involve working with web pages with a lot of tables of tabular data (you can hardly work efficiently with HTML tables with raw HTML editor, e.g. for the work of merging table cells). However after years and years kompozer is still not available in Gentoo Linux. I start to have difficulty working with my colleagues who use Ubuntu or SuSE who already replaced nvu with kompozer. Our SVN commit message start to show stupid change to CSS back and forth because different formatting of CSS by two editors. What can I do besides waiting forever for compozer to be added to the portage or complaining in this list? P. S. I am also willing to start tutorial and mange to contribute ebuilds to gentoo project, e.g. for ThinkingRock, for Pentaho Report (these software didn't make their way into Gentoo Portage perhaps because nobody make ebuilds for them). but I really hesitate because I can see in bugzilla someone did ebuilds for kompozer years ago and never accepted (so does ebuilds for amaya, for gpass etc), so if I contribute ebuilds: but knowing it can be not accepted for years, I lost the motivation.

I had a working KDE-3.5 system installed on it and upgraded it to version 4, no problem. Then I tried to install hplip on it and got the same blockers again. By a process of elimination I found I had to put two entries in package.use: =dev-python/qscintilla-python-2.1 -qt4 =x11-libs/qscintilla-2.1-r1 -qt4 Then I could install hplip as well.

(I'm interested in because of limited traffic) I believe gimp-help is in-program help (F1) while the manual is the user's manual, which is probably more up-to-date and easier to read on the website: http://docs.gimp.org/ You can probably skip the two packages, and just use the WWW (unless you have an offline setup).

Why is this nonsense? equery h shows which installed packages have the given use flag regardless if it is set or not. equery u shows you which use flags are set or unset for the given package. > After writing the above, I uninstalled hplip and poppler-bindings, then > reinstalled poppler-bindings and ran revdep-rebuild.

It is mainly designed and written by Philip Van Hoof. He mentions TMut, Modest as examples of clients using Tinymail. May be these are good, may be not. I don't know. I just had the fortune to work with Philip and on Modest for a month. I liked the style of him and the team of Modest. I hope these will be successful softwares.

Pine Thunderbird will always download complete messages whenever click on one. Given MIME mails and IMAP servers Pine will will only download the interesting parts of the mail. This means only the text OR the HTML part; or when you receive mailinglists in MIME digests only the mail you are interesting in. Of course, you need an IMAP server which correctly supports IMAP (fastmail.fm is good, gmx.net is bad). Vitus -- Vitus Jensen, Hannover, Germany, Earth, Milky Way, Universe (current)

Some thoughts, not really informed, but trying to lure some better experts and ideas out: - Maybe you should run python-updater with several "-v" options? Maybe it will become more talkative? (See man page and/or the script itself) - Maybe the disks or filesystems have some problems or bit-rot after having possibly been powered on 24/7 for a long time? Has there been power outages? Voluntary fsck time! - Has something happened to your scanelf? emerge -1 pax-utils might fix some issues - I'd guess eselect python complaining like above is probably just normal, unless you're supposed to have eselect-python package installed (many systems probably don't and you say your system is sort of minimal anyway?) - Does anything unusual appear in /var/log/messages or other logs? -- Arttu V.

[gentoo-user] gentoo-wiki.com - Needs your help!
I am reaching out to the community in search of someone, or someone who may know someone at either TEL-X (http://www.telx.com) or 56Marietta (http://www.56marietta.com). I'm sure everyone on this ML is aware that wiki is down. It may not concern some of you, as it is not an official documentation site; but for the rest of us, it is a very helpful resource. You can read the current status of the wiki as thrasher7 (Mike Valstar - mikevalstar@gmail.com) blogs it. Our options are stated, but we hope to find another through this e-mail. If anyone has any sort of contact with anyone at either of these locations, please let me or Mike know. Thanks in advance, deface

After the upgrade, if you have problems starting X, put "intel" in xorg.conf. Please search the archives; there was a recent thread on this. Liviu
