I'd like to install dev-util/darcs, but cannot do so: --($:~/git-bin)-- USE=-doc emerge -vpt darcs These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] dev-util/darcs-1.0.9 USE="-doc" 1,035 kB [ebuild N ] dev-haskell/html-1.0.1 USE="-doc -profile" 1,884 kB [ebuild N ] dev-haskell/quickcheck-1.0.1 USE="-doc -profile" 0 kB [nomerge ] dev-util/darcs-1.0.9 USE="-doc" [nomerge ] dev-lang/ghc-6.6.1 USE="-bash-completion -binary -doc -ghcbootstrap" [ebuild N ] dev-haskell/regex-compat-0.90 USE="-doc -profile" 4 kB [ebuild N ] dev-haskell/regex-posix-0.92 USE="-doc -profile" 12 kB [ebuild N ] dev-haskell/regex-base-0.91 USE="-doc -profile" 9 kB [ebuild N ] dev-haskell/mtl-1.0.1 USE="-doc -profile" 0 kB [ebuild N ] dev-haskell/filepath-1.0 USE="-doc -profile" 9 kB [ebuild N ] dev-haskell/cabal-1.1.6.2 USE="-doc -profile" 537 kB [ebuild N ] dev-lang/ghc-6.6.1 USE="-bash-completion -binary -doc -ghcbootstrap" 29,760 kB [ebuild N ] dev-lang/ghc-bin-6.4.2 18,914 kB [blocks B ] dev-lang/ghc-bin (is blocking dev-lang/ghc-6.6.1) As you can see, according to the emerge output, cabal requires BOTH ghc *AND* ghc-bin. But ghc-bin blocks ghc. This doesn't seem to be right, I think. --($:~/git-bin)-- emerge --info Portage 2.1.3.16 (default-linux/x86/2007.0/desktop, gcc-4.2.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.22-gentoo-r8.r08.mit-ide-mod i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.22-gentoo-r8.r08.mit-ide-mod i686 Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2400 @ 1.83GHz Timestamp of tree: Wed, 31 Oct 2007 08:20:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p17-r1 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.2-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r4, 2.5.1-r3 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.10-r5 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.24 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.22-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium-m -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/Gentoo/Portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--alphabetical" FEATURES="buildpkg ccache collision-protect distlocks metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS=" http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/gentoo/ http://ftp.gentoo.or.kr/ http://distfiles.gentoo.org/ http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo " LANG="de_CH.UTF-8" LINGUAS="de" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/Gentoo/Portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages --filter=H_**/files/digest-*" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/Gentoo/Portage/build" PORTDIR="/Gentoo/Portage/tree" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/Gentoo/Portage/local-tree/misc" SYNC="rsync://winds02:10873/gentoo-portage" USE="X acpi alsa berkdb bitmap-fonts bluetooth cairo cdr cli cracklib crypt cups dbus dmi doc dri dvd dvdr dvdread encode fam firefox fortran gdbm gif gnome gnutls gpm gstreamer gtk hal iconv isdnlog jpeg kde kdeenablefinal kdehiddenvisibility ldap libnotify mad midi mmx mp3 mpeg mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg opengl openmp pam pcmcia pcre pdf perl png pppd python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection samba sdl session spell spl sse sse2 ssl svg tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode vorbis wifi win32codecs x86 xine xinerama xml xorg xv zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m usb-audio usb-usx3y" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" CAMERAS="ptp2 directory" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev keyboard mouse synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="de" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nv nvidia vga none" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
