I have unmerged all the files involved in the blockage allan Mail # emerge --ask --unmerge e2fsprogs e2fsprogs-libs ss com_err
>>> These are the packages that would be unmerged: --- Couldn't find 'e2fsprogs' to unmerge. --- Couldn't find 'e2fsprogs-libs' to unmerge. --- Couldn't find 'ss' to unmerge. --- Couldn't find 'com_err' to unmerge. >>> No packages selected for removal by unmerge But when I do an emerge world I still get the blockage (I previously tried emerge -1 e2fsprogs, which brought in e2fsprogs-libs, but still gave the blockage shown below). This command was issued right after the testing unmerge above allan Mail # emerge --ask --verbose --deep --tree --newuse --update world These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating world dependencies... done!
