Description Canek Peláez Valdés 2007-10-18 21:05:16 UTC

When trying to update to GNOME 2.20, portage complains about app-text/scrollkeeper (needed by, at least, gnome-base/gnome-desktop and gnome-base/gnome-panel) blocking app-text/rarian (needed by gnome-extra/yelp), and thus GNOME 2.20 cannot be emerged.

I was under the impression that rarian was a backwards compatible replacement for scrollkeeper; if rarian is needed for GNOME 2.20 (because of yelp), why gnome-panel, gnome-desktop and others still depends on scrollkeeper?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to upgrade to GNOME 2.20 in ~amd64
2. Fails for conflicts between rarian and scrollkeeper
3.

Actual Results:  
GNOME cannot be upgraded

Expected Results:  
GNOME should be upgraded

No, they don't block unless you mix stable app-text/scrollkeeper with unstable rest of Gnome, which is entirely unsupported and purely your problem.
Read the scrollkeeper-9999 ebuild.

jakub: totally bogus. I hit this on both my machines and I only run ~amd64.

Comment 3 Canek Peláez Valdés 2007-10-18 21:43:11 UTC

No, Jakub is right: you just need to unmask scrollkeeper so the dummy 9999 version (which depends on rarian) gets installed.

Sorry, I thought that the 9999 version was the SVN or something like that.
