[Comment 1 Peter Hyman 2005-06-06 03:55:00 UTC]

In gtk-engines-2.6.3.ebuild
DEPEND="${DEPEND}
....
        !<=x11-themes/gnome-themes-2.8.2"

This is the blocker here, Because g-t 2.8.2 IS installed, it IS <= 2.8.2 and
therefore creates the block. Changing it to !<...2.8.2 creates warnings such as:

root@mars /usr/portage/x11-themes/gtk-engines # emerge -puD gnome-themes

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies \QA Notice: has_version() in global scope: eclass

[ebuild     U ] x11-themes/gnome-themes-2.10.0 [2.8.2] 

So, I'm going to wait and see!

[Comment 2 foser (RETIRED) 2005-06-06 04:20:21 UTC]

this is not a bug, this is intended behaviour. Those 2 packs just don't go
together, you need a newer gnome-themes.

[Comment 3 Peter Hyman 2005-06-06 04:59:34 UTC]

Then why?

root@mars /home/peter # emerge -pu gnome-themes

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!

respectfully reopening.

Those warnings are IMHO related to the infamous Bug 24439. 

[Comment 5 foser (RETIRED) 2005-06-06 05:20:08 UTC]

Theres nothing wrong there either, I can't help portage isn't smarter than that
(well, i'm not sure it can be in this particular case). Just do as it asks and
you will be fine. It is still not a bug.

[Comment 6 Peter Hyman 2005-06-06 10:34:05 UTC]

Cannot do what it asks because updating gnome-themes fails. Viz:

root@mars /home/peter # emerge -u gnome-themes
Calculating dependencies ...done!

!!! Error: the <=x11-themes/gnome-themes-2.8.2 package conflicts with another
package.
!!!        both can't be installed on the same system together.
!!!        Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers.

root@mars /home/peter # emerge -u gtk-engines
Calculating dependencies ...done!

!!! Error: the <=x11-themes/gnome-themes-2.8.2 package conflicts with another
package.
!!!        both can't be installed on the same system together.
!!!        Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers.

So, either way, I can't update EITHER package. What's the way out of this? Thx

You need to unmerge the offending package... 

[Comment 9 Jonathan Buset 2005-06-09 18:10:57 UTC]

In reply to comment #8

I did remove gtk-engines, and then when I emerge -uDp world, it tries to install
it as a new package and the dependency circle as discussed above continues.

[Comment 10 Peter Hyman 2005-06-10 03:12:54 UTC]

both gnome-themes and gtk-engines need to be removed. Then they will both be
emerged properly. Something is not right, but this works. HTH

[Comment 11 foser (RETIRED) 2005-06-10 08:12:58 UTC]

Let me stress this once again (see comment #2 & #5) it's perfectly alright &
expected behaviour and no, there is not another way to do this.

[Comment 12 Peter Hyman 2005-06-10 08:51:14 UTC]

I respectfully disagree. Having circular blocks should never be acceptable.One
way or the other should work.

[Comment 13 foser (RETIRED) 2005-06-10 09:12:24 UTC]

It's not circular, maybe you should investigate the matter to a level of
sufficient insight before you make unfounded claims. Thank you.
