[gentoo-user] Portage problem with xfce4-panel

[gentoo-user] Portage problem with xfce4-panel

[Grant]

I just did an emerge --sync; emerge world and I'm having some trouble with:

<xfce-base/xfce4-panel-4.4 (is blocking xfce-base/libxfcegui4-4.4.0)

I unmerged xfce4-panel but I still get the above blocking message.  A
pretend emerge of xfce4-panel confirms that it is not installed.  How
can I resolve this?

This really is a great example of a question with too little information 
provided? What were you trying to emerge? What's in your package.keywords 
(only xfce entries are relevant here)?

Removing all of this from package.keywords fixed it:

xfce-extra/terminal
>=xfce-extra/exo-0.3.2
>=xfce-base/xfce-mcs-plugins-4.4.0
>=xfce-base/libxfcegui4-4.4.0
>=xfce-base/libxfce4util-4.4.0
>=xfce-base/xfce-mcs-manager-4.4.0
>=xfce-base/libxfce4mcs-4.4.0

That is all required for the terminal package though.  I guess I
should wait until I upgrade to xfce-4.4 before I bring terminal back
into the loop?

Exist a much easier way to avoid unmasking packages. Go to your
/etc/make.conf. Change your architecture from "x86" to "~x86". Now emerge
xfce4-panel. If you don't want to be in the testing architecture. Go back
and change "~x86" to "x86". That's pretty easy... and no need to unamsk!

Regards.

I would worry that the emerge of xfce4-panel might then bring in other
testing packages as dependencies (but I don't know for sure).

I would think it saver to add xfce-panel to package.keywords

    echo xfce-extra/xfce4-panelmenu >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

(mkdir /etc/portage    if you don't already have it.)

There are various prefixes and suffixes you could add.
See    man portage     for details

For example my package.keywords is currently

x11-misc/googleearth
app-editors/emacs-cvs
~x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8774
~net-print/cups-1.2.1-r2
~app-text/libpaper-1.1.14.8
net-wireless/bcm43xx-fwcutter
#~media-gfx/graphviz-2.12
