[gentoo-dev] Dependency/conflict resolution with emerge

[gentoo-dev] Dependency/conflict resolution with emerge

[Marc Soda]

Gentoo dev team,

First let me say that Gentoo rules.  It has become my new distro of
choice. Thank you.

Ok, my issue is with dependency/conflict resolution with emerge.  This
morning I updated my Gentoo box, with the new stuff in portage.  One
of those packages was Mozilla 0.9.8.  I use Galeon as my web browser
which, as you know, depends on Mozilla.  The Galeon in Portage is
version 1.0.2, which depends on Mozilla 0.9.7.  After this update
Galeon will not run.  Not a big deal for me and I am not asking for a
solution, but it seems to me that emerge should have detected that
dependency and given a warning, similar to the way rpm does.  Is this
functionality plan for Gentoo 1.0?

Also, I would like to contribute to Gentoo's development.  I have many
skills which I believe would be beneficial to the project.  Please let
me know if your interested in more developers/maintainers, and if so,
how I can help.

Thanks again,

As far as I know the newest versions of Galeon in Portage are:
1.0.3-Stable and 1.1.3-Devel. That still doesn't answer the question as
to why our ebuild of Moz-0.9.8 does not build libtimer_gtk.so... :)

Your right they are there, why then, when I do an 'emerge --world 
system'
does galeon not get updated.

Should be doing an emerge --world update :)

'system' as far as I know, only update those things that are essential
to your system, while update updates everything.
