I have a 6.1 system. I attempted to upgrade gnome, which according

was pretty hairy with portupgrade -a, but almost everything worked
out. However several upgrades were skipped because the build of
x11-toolkits/py-gnome-extras failed. It failed because it thinks
(as of tonight, Saturday) that it depends on libgda2. But libgda2
fails because libgda3 is installed and libgda2 thinks it should not
install over libgda3. Libgda3 cannot be removed because it is required
by several more-coreish-looking gnome ports.
Is it possible the dependency is wrong in x11-toolkits/py-gnome-extras?
The dependency is correct. libgda3 is experimental, and its development
has been inconsistent. All ports with depend on libgda3 have either an
optional dependency, or are unstable themselves. If you remove libgda3,
then rebuild those ports which depended on it, you can get libgda2
installed.
Well it appears the ports that depend on libgda3 are
math/gnumeric
editors/gnome2-office
and
databases/libgnomedb
gnumeric will not build with libgda2.
gnome2-office will not build without gnumeric.
So it would appear to me that I am caught in a crossfire in a war
between (or possibly among) port maintainers.
I cannot believe I have spent a week on this and it cannot
be completed because of a petty little ego conflict. I should have
know this would happen when the religious right faction managed
to oust Beastie.
