[gentoo-user] emerging blockes by non-existing (?) ebuild

[Thierry de Coulon]

Hello,

I'm in the process of emerging kde-meta. However, the process is stopped by 
the kopete ebuild that says I should reemerge x11-libs/qt-3* with USE=opengl.

Now emerge --pretend does not return anything that looks like qt-3, neither 
does emerge --search.

In any case, what I would like is to simply say "forget about kopete", as I 
don't need or use that thing.

Is there a way top do thsi?

You should not search for qt-3 but simply qt.

If you want to specify a certain version you need to write equation marks in 
front fo the package name. In your case you have to write

emerge -pv =x11-libs/qt-3*

The best way to activate USE=opengl for just one package would be to create a 
file called package.use in /etc/portage and write the package and the 
useflag(s).

Anyway, just become root and then type in this command

echo "=x11-libs/qt-3* opengl" >> /etc/portage/package.use

=x11-libs/qt-3*  opengl

Is more likely to succeed, I think.

Thanks to all!

I had added the use flag (in make.conf because I do want opengl), what I had 
missed was the "=" in front of the package name. Too long since I last 
installed gentoo, I guess.

Thanks for the quick help.
