If you look at the emerge output below, you will see that all 4 are proceeded by [ebuild N ] which means they are not installed at all. Botto line is that e2fsprogs-libs abd ss|com_err cannot co-exist on the same system, as e2fsprogs-libs implements what they do. Look at the *DEPEND in the ebuild to see what e2fsprogs-libs blocks. I have a ~arch system, what I did way back when was to simply put ss and com_err in package.mask, and everything worked. I also have e2fsprogs and mit-krb5 installed, just like you do. > > >>> 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! > [nomerge ] gnome-base/gnome-2.22.3 USE="cdr cups dvdr esd ldap > -accessibility -mono" [nomerge ] app-text/evince-2.22.2-r1 USE="dbus > doc gnome gnome-keyring tiff -debug -djvu -dvi -t1lib" [ebuild U ] > app-text/libspectre-0.2.1 [0.2.0] USE="doc -debug -test" 381 kB [nomerge > ] app-text/libspectre-0.2.1 [0.2.0] USE="doc -debug -test" [nomerge > ] app-doc/doxygen-1.5.4 USE="doc -debug -latex -nodot -qt3" [ebuild U > ] media-gfx/graphviz-2.20.3 [2.20.2] USE="cairo doc gnome gtk java jpeg > nls perl png python -cgraph -examples -ruby -tcl" 13,068 kB [nomerge ] > x11-wm/sawfish-1.3.3 USE="esd gnome nls -audiofile -pango" [nomerge ] > x11-libs/rep-gtk-0.18-r3 USE="gnome" > [ebuild U ] gnome-base/libbonobo-2.24.0 [2.22.0] USE="doc -debug" > 1,422 kB [ebuild U ] net-fs/nfs-utils-1.1.3 [1.1.0-r1] USE="kerberos > tcpd -nonfsv4" 793 kB [nomerge ] app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.6.3-r1 > USE="doc ipv6 -krb4 -tcl" [ebuild N ] sys-libs/ss-1.40.9 USE="nls" 0 > kB > [ebuild N ] sys-libs/com_err-1.40.9 USE="nls" 0 kB > [nomerge ] gnome-base/gnome-2.22.3 USE="cdr cups dvdr esd ldap > -accessibility -mono" [nomerge ] gnome-extra/gnome-utils-2.20.0.1 > USE="hal ipv6 -debug" [ebuild N ] sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.2 USE="nls" > 0 kB > [ebuild N ] sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.2 USE="nls" 0 kB > [nomerge ] app-text/texlive-2007-r3 USE="X doc png xml -cjk > -context -cyrillic -extra -games -graphics -humanities -jadetex -music > -omega -pstricks -publishers -science -tex4ht -xetex" LINGUAS="-af -ar -bg > -bn -bo -cs -cy -da -de -el -en -en_GB -eo -es -et -fi -fr -he -hi -hr -hsb > -hu -hy -id -is -it -ja -ko -la -ml -mn -nl -no -pl -pt -ro -ru -sk -sl -sr > -sv -ta -th -tr -uk -vi -zh" [ebuild U ] dev-tex/feynmf-1.08-r3 > [1.08-r2] USE="doc" 0 kB [blocks B ] sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs (is > blocking sys-libs/ss-1.40.9, sys-libs/com_err-1.40.9) [blocks B ] > sys-libs/com_err (is blocking sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.2) [blocks B > ] sys-libs/ss (is blocking sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.2) > > Total: 9 packages (5 upgrades, 4 new, 3 blocks), Size of downloads: > 15,663 kB > > !!!
