[gentoo-user] memoir blocking tetex?

[Jules Colding]

Hi,

I'm trying to emerge memoir but it is blocking its own dependency -
tetex:

##################################################
omc-2 ~ # emerge -va dev-tex/memoir

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N    ] app-text/tetex-3.0_p1-r4  USE="X -Xaw3d -doc -lesstif -motif -neXt -tk" 0 kB
[ebuild  N    ] dev-tex/memoir-20060211  1,720 kB
[blocks B     ] dev-tex/memoir (is blocking app-text/tetex-3.0_p1-r4)

Total: 2 packages (2 new, 1 block), Size of downloads: 1,720 kB
##################################################


What can I do about that?

Best regards,
  jules

Theoretically you could downgrade tetex to 2.x and mask tetex 3.x. I doubt you 
want to do that though since the reason for the block is that memoir is part 
of tetex 3.x...

Yes, I've just leaned that.

Sorry for the noise,
