[ebuild N ] net-libs/libnet-1.1.2.1-r1 USE="-doc" [ebuild N ] net-misc/rarpd-1.1-r3 [blocks B ] net-misc/iputils ("net-misc/iputils" is blocking net-misc/rarpd-1.1-r3) [blocks B ] net-misc/rarpd ("net-misc/rarpd" is blocking net-misc/iputils-20071127) * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be * installed at the same time on the same system. ('ebuild', '/', 'net-misc/rarpd-1.1-r3', 'merge') pulled in by net-misc/rarpd Doesn't seem quite right that iputils and rarpd should conflict and block like this. Ping seems like a legit tool you would want to have with a rarpd Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Tried on multiple X86 platforms. AMD64 its actually masked. Try to emerge net-misc/rarpd on a X86 platform and get told that iputils is blocking it. Actual Results: [blocks B ] net-misc/iputils ("net-misc/iputils" is blocking net-misc/rarpd-1.1-r3) [blocks B ] net-misc/rarpd ("net-misc/rarpd" is blocking net-misc/iputils-20071127) Expected Results: Should not have to unmerge iputils
See bug 197110.
i dont see the bug. iputils already provides rarpd.
(In reply to comment #2) > i dont see the bug. iputils already provides rarpd. > This is correct - did not know that iputils installed rarpd in which case net-misc/rarpd is not needed at all if iputils is installed =) I have a sun station 5 that I needed to netboot to get OpenBSD on missed rarpd as part of the iputil. Thanks - I will mark this as closed.
