Thanks all. Installing portage 2 and uninstalling some other package now I'm able to update the system.
I've uninstalled xfce, firefox (??!) and kde. Now the update seems to proceed. Then I'll reinstall everything. However, I tried emerge belong on my system, but it gave me no output: " # equery belongs /usr/lib/libxfce4util.la [ Searching for file(s) /usr/lib/libxfce4util.la in *... ] # " On Sat, Aug 14, 2010 at 3:26 AM, Jake Moe <jakesaddr...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 08/13/10 23:50, Alex Schuster wrote: > > Massimiliano Ziccardi writes: > > > >> I'm trying to update my gentoo after a long time. > > That tends to be more problematic than regular updates. > > > >> I tried the update (emerge -uD world) but I got some problem about > >> conflicting and missing libraries, so I've uninstalled some software. > > portage 2.2 may ease these things, it does some automatic blocker > > resolution (does not work always for me, but most of the times).
