I update roughly twice a week. On one machine (full output below) I was
told that libinput and evdev are blocking xorg-drivers
[blocks B ] <x11-drivers/xf86-input-libinput-0.20.0
("<x11-drivers/xf86-input-libinput-0.20.0" is blocking
x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.19)
[blocks B ] <x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.10.4
("<x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.10.4" is blocking x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.19)
However the merge does propose to update xorg-drivers
[ebuild U ] x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.19 [1.18-r1] VIDEO_CARDS="-ark% -i915%
-i965% (-newport) -sis%"
It also proposes to update libinput and evdev
[ebuild U ] x11-drivers/xf86-input-libinput-0.24.0 [0.19.0]
[ebuild U ] x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.10.5 [2.10.3]
I do see that the versions of libinput and evdev to be used are higher
than the versions that would block xorg-drivers. I am wondering why in
this case emerge is telling me about the block (in red with a capital B)
and more importantly would appreciate confirmation that I should let the
emerge proceed.
thanks in advance,
allan
