Description Nikos Chantziaras 2008-11-16 02:13:25 UTC

I can't emerge x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.552-r1 because it is blocking x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3 (from the x11 layman overlay):

[ebuild  N    ] x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.552-r1  USE="acpi -debug" 74,042 kB
[blocks B     ] x11-drivers/ati-drivers (is blocking x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3)

I tried to make my own ebuild, but I don't see anywhere where the block occurs.  All I see is an "x11-base/xorg-server" in RDEPEND.  So I don't even know if this is an issue with the ebuild.

Note that ati-drivers-8.552-r1 is currently masked in portage (I keyworded this bug with PMASKED).  I'm just trying to test it, since Catalyst 8.11 is the first version to support XServer 1.5.x.

Comment 1 Nikos Chantziaras 2008-11-16 02:51:56 UTC

I removed the x11 overlay and downgraded all packages to the portage versions. Still no luck:

[ebuild  N    ] x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.552-r1  USE="acpi -debug" 74,042 kB
[blocks B     ] x11-drivers/ati-drivers (is blocking x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.2)

I think I'm going insane. I can't figure out where the block occurs.

Comment 2 Nikos Chantziaras 2008-11-16 04:30:03 UTC

I found the problem. The message from emerge:

x11-drivers/ati-drivers (is blocking x11-base/xorg-server-1.5.3)

is false.  It's the other way around; it's xorg-server that is blocking ati-drivers.

I this bug still valid or should I submit a new one for xorg-server?

I think this is a dupe of #236871 and it's the other way around. xorg-server is blocking ati-drivers

Comment 4 George Wu 2008-11-17 07:03:33 UTC

Oh.. whoops.. you already caught that it's the other way around. Sorry about that. I was going off of the Summary of this bug.

Still looks like a dupe to me. :)
