(In reply to comment #0) > 1. Enable media-libs/libpng in /etc/portage/package.keywords Then you need to also keyword libpng-1.4, because -r3 is designed to be co-installed with it. and closing as invalid I don't understand the suggested fix. Old /etc/portage/package.keywords had: media-libs/libpng ~x86 Tried adding: media-libs-libpng-1.4 ~x86 that failed with a syntax error. Tried changing to media-libs/libpng that still generates the error: [blocks B ] media-libs/libpng:1.2 ("media-libs/libpng:1.2" is blocking media-libs/libpng-1.2.43-r2) [blocks B ] <media-libs/libpng-1.2.43-r3 ("<media-libs/libpng-1.2.43-r3" is blocking media-libs/libpng-1.2.43-r3) Is there some document I should have read/be reading? My last emerge of libpng (May 9 2010) had no instructions at the end of the emerge listing. It looks like libpng may be in the process of being "slotted". Is there documentation on this anywhere? Thanks. *** Bug 322707 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** - 1.2.43-r3 is a special version designed to be co-installed with libpng-1.4.2 - both 1.2.43-r3 and 1.4.2 are in ~arch - 1.2.43-r2 is stable - as such, there won't be any hardblockers unless you have done something wrong in /etc/portage yourself, instead portage will autoresolve this for you with softblockers. - ... or your /var/lib/portage/world might be broken, shouldn't have libpng there. so this bug and the bug marked duplicate here is really invalids, there really isn't any problem.

Only the creator knows this detail. Days on the IRC channel and no one knows this. The description you gave for the package would be great. Instead it just reads "Portable Network Graphics Library" Search the forum and blogs and you will find many people bitten by and just masking 1.4 out to get buy. Maybe this is a "Documentation Bug". Mostly I find people say the libpng situation is a mess. *** Bug 325265 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
