Description Jaak Ristioja 2004-12-10 10:57:53 UTC

i just did an "emerge sync" some minutes ago, and the result:

root /usr/portage $ emerge -pv world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies -
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "virtual/fam".


!!! Problem with ebuild kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.3.1
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.

!!! Depgraph creation failed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. su root
2. emerge sync
3. emerge -pv world
Actual Results:  
can't do "emerge -pv world" or similar.


after removing kde-base/kdemultimedia from the world file, it reports the same
error, but this time with kde-base/kdegraphics (which of course is in the world
file)

According to my information you seem to use an outdated profile. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-upgrading.xml tells you how to change it. If this is not the case, please reopen.
