Description Matthew Daubenspeck 2002-07-28 16:52:44 UTC
Calculating world dependencies |
!!! Error: couldn't find match for sys-apps/groff in update (likely old
/var/db/pkg entry)
Comment 1 Paul Thompson 2002-07-28 17:19:24 UTC
The problem seems to be a typo in /usr/portage/packages/package.mask
>=sys-apps/groff-1.1.17
should be:
>=sys-apps/groff-1.17.1

I think Paul is right. Changing the package.mask fixed it for me
Comment 3 Matthew Daubenspeck 2002-07-29 15:50:34 UTC
*  sys-apps/groff
      Latest version Available: 1.16.1-r1
      Latest version Installed: 1.17.2-r1
      Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/groff/groff.html
      Description: 
      Text formatter used for man pages

But I already have version 1.17.2-r1 installed, and it wants to downgrade to
1.16.1-r1. Is this right?

This should be resolved by now, sorry for taking such long time.
