Why is it that these various packages haven't switched their dependecies back to the 6.8.2-r6 virtual for x11-xorg? Why are they looking for dependencies from the 7.0 tree, still? Is it because I still have some rogue 7.0 packages installed on this computer?
Probably, yes. For example, the ghostscript dependancy is: X? ( || ( ( x11-libs/libX11 x11-libs/libXt ) virtual/x11 ) ) So if you had libXt still installed, portage might decide that it also wanted libX11, and result in the masked problem you see. Probably the easiest way to fix this is get a list of all the ~x86 x11 packages you have installed, and remove them. Something like this should do the trick: # cd /var/db/pkg # for x in `grep -l \~x86 x11-*/*/KEYWORDS` ; do
echo =`dirname $x` done | xargs emerge --unmerge -pv
HTH, -Richard And of
course, the mega-money question, how do I fix the problem? What other information do you need to aid in diagnosing the problem? Thanks in advance for all of your help! Kris Kerwin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
