Ok, so I was using the 2006 profile (amd64) util I started to have errors in my emerge. So I followed the doc to upgrade my profile to a 2008 profile (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-upgrading.xml). and at some point, I need to either select to support unicode or not. Not being too bothered (and mostly because I do not want to end up having to rebuild the whole machine), I decided to follow the non-unicode route. At some point, I then need to issue an emerge -a baselayout, and this is where I am stuck:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> # emerge -p baselayout These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild U ] sys-devel/automake-1.10.1-r1 [1.10] [ebuild U ] sys-apps/sysvinit-2.86-r10 [2.86] [ebuild N ] app-arch/lzma-utils-4.32.7 USE="-nocxx" [ebuild U ] sys-apps/findutils-4.4.0 [4.1.20-r1] [ebuild N ] sys-apps/attr-2.4.41 USE="nls" [ebuild N ] virtual/init-0 [ebuild N ] sys-apps/acl-2.2.47 USE="nls (-nfs)" [ebuild U ] sys-apps/coreutils-6.10-r2 [6.4] USE="acl* -vanilla% -xattr%" [ebuild U ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.11.1 [1.11.13-r1] [ebuild U ] sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.4 [3.0-r2] USE="-old-linux%" [blocks B ] <sys-apps/util-linux-2.13 (is blocking sys-apps/coreutils-6.10-r2) <<<<<<<<<<<<<< So anyone having an idea on how to pass this step is welcome. Thanks JM
