My Problem:

I just updated portage for the first time in 10 days, and attempted to emerge -puDN world...

Code:

rogue ~ # emerge -puDN world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

!!! Problem resolving dependencies for gnome-base/gnome
!!! Depgraph creation failed.


How can the package.mask file block something that an emerge world needs? That ODBC thing is the same version I currently have installed!

Any help on how to get around this wold be most helpful.

Thank you!

Gnome 1, and therefore everything that hard deps on it, is going away.  You'll need to unmerge everything that depends on it, and find alternatives, or upgrade them to newer versions that use gnome 2.x.

[Comment 2 Scott 2006-11-17 11:49:30 UTC]

It seems that something GNOME is pulling this in.  It seems odd that something your ebuilds require depends on something you are trying to eliminate.

So, I am reopening this bug since I have found at least 1 GNOME library that still needs this in 2.14!

I removed the unixODBC, gnome-libs-1.*, libgda (which is what was requiring this), the gnome-python-extras (for gnome 2.14, which gnome wants to put BACK, which needs to unixODBC as well)...

I was able to track my dependancy tree up to root cause, as you asked.

I have run emerge -C gnome.

This resolved it.  Please fix your dependancies and close this when done so I can re-emerge gnome-2.14

Thanks.
