[gentoo-user] a bit confused by emerge blockers

[michael]

emerge told me that pine was blocking something, so I did an emerge
--pretend to see what:"

emerge -Duv --newuse world
Calculating world dependencies ...done!

!!! Error: the <mail-client/pine-4.64-r1 package conflicts with another
package.!!!        both can't be installed on the same system together.
!!!        Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers.

#  emerge --pretend pine

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

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B     ] <mail-client/pine-4.64-r1 (is blocking
net-mail/uw-mailutils-2004g)
[ebuild  N    ] net-mail/uw-mailutils-2004g
[ebuild     U ] mail-client/pine-4.64-r1 [4.61-r2]




I tried to remove pine, figuring I'd emerge it later after I finished my
big emerge -Duv world, but I get this:

emerge -e mail-client/pine-4.64-r1
--- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.keywords: =mail-client/pine
Calculating dependencies

!!! Problem in mail-client/pine-4.64-r1 dependencies.
!!! "Specific key requires an operator (mail-client/pine-4.64-r1) (try
adding an '=')" exceptions




What's the best way to resolve this? My goal is to update everything
as it's been awhile since I last updated (over a year).

Thanks,
Michael

I don't understand. Where do I add the "="? What do I put before or after the "="?

Here is the result of "emerge pine". Not much better:

  # emerge pine
  Calculating dependencies ...done!

  !!! Error: the <mail-client/pine-4.64-r1 package conflicts with another
  package.!!!        both can't be installed on the same system together.

Do as it is written there: add a "=". Or simply "emerge pine"

HTH...

Sorry didn't read that you tried to use "-e" to remove pine. There was a 
weird dependency problem with pine and uw-mailutils. Your idea to remove 
pine and re-emerge it later was indeed right, but "-e" (aka --emptytree) 
doesn't remove. Use "emerge unmerge pine && emerge pine".

HTH...

Yes, '-e' is --emptytree, you want unmerge. Also, portage tells us that in
/etc/portage/package.keywords you have a bad entry, namely "=mail-client/pine".
You should only you use the '=' prefix when you specify a version - so, you
should remove the = from the entry.

HTH =)
