When I use emerge -upD world I receive this output: Barbara portage # emerge -upD world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! [blocks B ] sys-apps/sysvinit (from pkg sys-apps/baselayout-1.9.4-r6) I tried to remove this block but... It doesn't work! Someone had the same problem? What must I do? Another problems is a messagge after an emerge: * Caching service dependencies ... * Service 'postfix' already provide 'mta'!; * Not adding service 'sendmail'... I want to remove this messagge (I use postfix). What must I do? Thanks a lot, Luigi -- Public key gpg(0xE716D548) on http://keyserver.linux.it/
