[gentoo-user] Blocking package cannot be removed...

[Meino Christian Cramer]

Hi,

 I conjunction with

   emerge --verbose --update --deep world

 I got the message, that a package would block another one.

 So I did a

   emerge --pretend --verbose --update --deep world
 
 and it was reported, that

   dev-java/java-config

 is blocking

   dev-java/java-config-wrapper

 . I decided to remove java-config by

   emerge -C java-config

 but it was not found and therefore not removed.

 Deadlock?
 How can I proceed?

 Kind regards,
 mcc

You really should include the actual output from emerge! In this case, 
however, it won't be necessary. Just `emerge --sync` and try again. The new 
java system was stabilised a couple of hours ago and apparently you've caught 
the stabilisation of java-config-wrapper but not of java-config..
