Description Park Ji-in 2003-09-12 21:17:37 UTC
why it blocks gnome-utils-2.3 or older? I tried to find the reason in
Changelogs, forum and bugzilla, but I cant find it. I can missed it, so if you
know where is the reason tell me where it is, or please explain why.

I dont like see 'B' chracter in emerge -up blahblah, and it is not comfortable. 

so I think requiring newer version of gnome-utils is better than block older
version of it.

like ,

>=gnome-extra/gnome-utils-2.3


thanks.

gucharmap is included in >=gnome-utils-2.3, meaning that it no longer requires the separate gucharmap package.
Comment 2 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-09-13 03:40:50 UTC
To be more exact, gucharmap replaces the <gnome-utils-2.3 character picker. They share a symlink, so the easy solution is just blocking the old gnome-utils.
