[gentoo-amd64] nvidia-settings blocks nvidia-drivers

[gentoo-amd64] nvidia-settings blocks nvidia-drivers

[david]

I unmerged nvidia-settings, looks like it is included in the new
drivers. But I still can't update world;
amd64 ~ # emerge -p nvidia-settings

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N    ] media-video/nvidia-settings-1.0.20070302 
[blocks B     ] media-video/nvidia-settings (is blocking
x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-100.14.09)
amd64 ~ # emerge -pv nvidia-drivers

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-100.14.09  0 kB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB

I see no problem in this merge, it's ok, isn't it?

anyway, do an emerge -p --tree nvidia-drivers, and see what still
needs nvidia-settings. I had gnome-extra/sensors-applet compiled with
nvidia (and thus requiring nvidia-settings).

Hi, I sync & update, and I had to deinstall it:

emerge --unmerge media-video/nvidia-settings

After that, all Ok

That was the first thing I tried;

amd64 ~ # emerge -p nvidia-settings

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N    ] media-video/nvidia-settings-1.0.20070302 
[blocks B     ] media-video/nvidia-settings (is blocking

That must be what is blocking it;

amd64 ~ # emerge -uND world
Calculating world dependencies... done!

!!! Error: the media-video/nvidia-settings package conflicts with
another package;
!!!        the two packages cannot be installed on the same system together.
!!!        Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers.

For more information about Blocked Packages, please refer to the following
section of the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook (architecture is irrelevant):

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?full=1#blocked

but nvidia-drivers merged OK

amd64 ~ # emerge -p --tree nvidia-drivers

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-100.14.09

Once I emerge -C sensors-applet that removed the block. Not sure what
that has to do with nvidia.

sensors-applet has a nvidia use flag.

so the latest nvidia-drivers come with settings in one package. And the 
sensors-applet ebuild is not updated yet.

Unmerge nvidia settings
emerge nvidia drivers

and put nvidia settings into /etc/portage/profile/package.provided

no, it seems the current sensors-applet doesn't support the newest
nvidia drivers. the values aren't detected.

I think the "nvidia-settings" package is included into 
the "nvidia-drivers"-package.

Nvidia-drivers-100.14.09 is marked as ~amd64 (testing). There is no
conflict between the stable packages. Since I want nvidia-settings +
nvidia-drivers with version greater than the current stable
(1.0.8776-r1) I did:

echo x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.9755-r1 >> \
 /etc/portage/package.keywords

This way now I have:

emerge -pv nvidia-{settings,drivers}

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies  ..... ..
... ....... done!
[binary   R   ] media-video/nvidia-settings-1.0.20070302  
[binary   R   ] x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.9755-r1
