Could you show the output of `emerge -C xfce-base/xfce-utils', please? I suspect bad timing. Most likely you did only a partial upgrade to 4.10 and some of the 4.8 leftovers are still pulling xfce-utils. I would add 'xfce-base/xfce-utils' to /etc/portage/package.mask to get more informative output And 'emerge -C xfce4-smartbookmark-plugin xfce4-meta xfce4-session' In any case, this is not a real bug since absolutely nothing is depending on xfce-utils in Portage anymore for 4.10: http://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/genrdeps/dindex/xfce-base/xfce-utils http://qa-reports.gentoo.org/output/genrdeps/rindex/xfce-base/xfce-utils (In reply to comment #1) > Could you show the output of `emerge -C xfce-base/xfce-utils', please? here it is: # emerge -C xfce-base/xfce-utils * This action can remove important packages!

OK, a bad question, the real is: post the full output of 'revdep-rebuild -p -- -v'. Created attachment 316451 [details]
the results of revdep-rebuild -p -- -v
Don't know about the rest, but xfce-extra/xfce4-mixer-4.8.0 doesn't strike me as a part of 4.10. Perhaps 'revdep-rebuild -p -- -tv' will give you a better hint. This still looks like a plain `emerge -vuaDN world' would solve the issue, and not a revdep-rebuild before the world file's targets are satisfied. Also, emerge --depclean might help here in getting rid of unneeded/former xfce 4.8 dependencies.

I'd already done the emerge --depclean before trying revdep-rebuild in the first place. I'll try your emerge -vauDN world, but I wonder, does it differ from emerge --update --newuse --deep -av world (that was the first part of this whole process, ie... emerge --update --newuse --deep -av world emerge --depclean revdep-rebuild which is my usual update procedure) Woop, works now! Seems somethings have changed since I last --rsync'ed. Thanks all, Naveen |
revdep-rebuild gives this .... [blocks B ] xfce-base/xfce-utils ("xfce-base/xfce-utils" is blocking xfce-base/xfce4-session-4.10.0, xfce-base/xfce4-appfinder-4.10.0, xfce-base/libxfce4ui-4.10.0) * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be * installed at the same time on the same system.
