Re: [gentoo-user] One package is blocking another?
Hello, Blocking means that a package prevents other package from being installed. I guess you already figured that out... :) Quote from man pages should be quite clear (if not, ask :), it follows. From man emerge [blocks B ] app-text/dos2unix (from pkg app-text/hd2u-0.8.0) Dos2unix is Blocking hd2u from being emerged. Blockers are defined when two packages will clobber each others files, or otherwise cause some form of breakage in your system. However, blockers usually do not need to be simultaneously emerged because they usually provide the same functionality. When I've got a block, I unmerge the blocking package (emerge -C ftpbase in your case) and then emerge package I originally wanted (emerge proftpd). I'm not sure if there's an other way to do this, but just unmerging has worked for me so far. -- Olli Koskela [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quoting Jayson Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, Several days ago I did an 'emerge --ask --nospinner -u world' to update my software as normal, but was told that ftpbase-0.00 was blocking proftpd-1.something. What, exactly, does this mean and what do I do about it? I want to continue using Proftpd, and don't know what Ftpbase is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, software as normal, but was told that ftpbase-0.00 was blocking proftpd-1.something. What, exactly, does this mean and what do I do about it? I want to continue using Proftpd, and don't know what Ftpbase is. unmerge the old proftpd version, emerge the new proftpd version. For some reasons, this will now install ftpbase and proftpd. The configs are not altered, so no worry. Works fine for me (I am running www.proftpd.de) cu stonki -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Datum: Thu, 11 Aug 2005 01:19:52 -0400 Hi, Several days ago I did an 'emerge --ask --nospinner -u world' to update my software as normal, but was told that ftpbase-0.00 was blocking proftpd-1.something.

Thanks, Jayson. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list The reason that the package was blocked was (from the changelog): 08 Jul 2005; Gustavo Felisberto [EMAIL PROTECTED]; +proftpd-1.2.10-r6.ebuild: New revision that uses the new net-ftp/ftpbase. Nice work there UberLord. The ftpbase functionality was removed from this version of proftpd onwards. ftpbase was unable to be installed with previous versions of proftpd installed as they both use the same files (if I recall correctly). As Olli posted from the man page Blockers are defined when two packages will clobber each others files. As emerge wants to build the dependencies of the new version of proftpd first (ie ftpbase), however it is unable to build ftpbase with the old version of proftpd installed. Your method of updating is just fine and avoids this conflict. I hope this makes sense, Peter
