It's not a matter of emerge being confused or not knowing enough to remove = the=20 old packages. It's a matter of emerge not being permitted to remove any=20 packages that temporarily break things without the user knowing about and=20 permitting it first. So instead it aborts while informing the user about th= e=20 block and allowing the user to make a decision. In this particular case it's not even about anything needing to be removed = (at=20 least not anymore). It's simply that when accepting ~arch keywords for xfce= 4=20 you need to accept ~arch keywords for xfce4-extras too for them to be=20 compatible. =2D-=20 Bo Andresen --nextPart1845300.O7i0zbaPM5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBF2o1T8/kKEzmwNNoRAr+YAJ9eLC+8U1J5k9zDCoC6kSVLDkMsPQCgkJrT ghyOdgWRNpIxZvQKElot7Wk= =1zdQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1845300.O7i0zbaPM5-- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
