• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Kim Sönksen 2007-02-15 16:29:45 UTC]

I tried this:

gigatest ~ # emerge -avu mod_perl

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

Calculating dependencies... done!

ok, so I've tried to remove it.

gigatest ~ # emerge -avC Apache-Test

>>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:

--- Couldn't find 'Apache-Test' to unmerge.

gigatest ~ # emerge -s Apache-Test

emerging by path implies --oneshot... adding --oneshot to options.

*** emerging by path is broken and may not always work!!!

Any help is welcome ... i face such problems too often; it's frustrating to be a gentoo user.
