Description Henrique Ferreiro 2005-11-20 07:23:05 UTC
xcolor-2.00, tetex-3.0-r3
The files svgnam.def and xcolor.sty are exactly the same in both packages.
Moreover, xcolor has no more files.

The problem is that I wanted to install latex-beamer that depends on xcolor and
I have tetex installed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

tetex-3 blocks xcolor and latex-beamer (see DEPEND in
/usr/portage/eclass/tetex-3.eclass), so I don't know how you managed to have
both at the same time on your system...
I believe that beamer and xcolor are both already provided by tetex-3, so
there's no need to emerge them separately.
Comment 2 Henrique Ferreiro 2005-11-20 07:52:37 UTC
I have noticed that now but why can I do this:

localhost infhfg00 # emerge -vp latex-beamer

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

Calculating dependencies  ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] dev-tex/latex-beamer-3.01  0 kB

Total size of downloads: 0 kB

On the other way:

localhost infhfg00 # emerge -vp latex-beamer tetex

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

Calculating dependencies                 ...done!
[blocks B     ] dev-tex/latex-beamer (is blocking app-text/tetex-3.0-r3)
[ebuild  N    ] dev-tex/latex-beamer-3.01  0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] app-text/tetex-3.0-r3  +X -Xaw3d -doc -lesstif -motif -neXt

Total size of downloads: 102,063 kB
Comment 3 Alexandre Buisse (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-20 08:10:20 UTC
I think I found where his does come from : tetex-3.0-r2 and -r3 ebuilds have
DEPEND="" in them, so they simply ignore the blockers...
I'm currently reemerging tetex, I'll tell you if it changes anything.
Comment 4 Alexandre Buisse (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-11-21 06:02:20 UTC
Forget what I said, the DEPEND="" thing changes nothing. But the problem is
actually that at the moment, only tetex-3 blocks latex-beamer, while
latex-beamer should also block tetex-3.
