[gentoo-user] gnome-desktop blocking gnome-core

[Chris Bare]

I'm still getting this after doing an emerge -u (without the -D)

rygel ~ # emerge -puD world -t   

These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
 [blocks B     ] gnome-base/gnome-desktop (is blocking gnome-base/gnome-core-1.4.2-r1)
 [nomerge      ] net-misc/whois-4.7.2  
 [ebuild     U ]  net-dns/libidn-0.5.15 [0.5.13] 
 [nomerge      ] x11-plugins/gkrellm-sensors-0.1  
 [ebuild  N    ]  sys-apps/lm_sensors-2.9.1  
 [nomerge      ] net-wireless/gtkskan-0.2  
 [ebuild  N    ]  gnome-base/gnome-core-1.4.2-r1  

How can I tell what wants gnome-core? It is not installed now because I
deleted it when this problem first arose.

Any other suggestions on how to solve this problem?

gtkskan, as it says in the output above. running with the --verbose flag
may give more useful information. Putting

net-wireless/gtkskan  -gnome

into /etc/portage/package.keywords may help.

emerge -puDt world (not -puD world -t)

should give you a tree view of what's calling what.

My guess, for what it's worth, is that the gkrellm-sensors is the gtk1
version (requiring gnome 1 support) rather than the gtk2 version
(requiring gnome 2 support). In fact, I don't think the package
'gkrellm-sensors' is even used for gkrellm2, but is integrated into the
main package (I'm running gkrellm2, but I don't use sensors. However, I
see that the first lising in the Configuration =>Monitors=>Inbuilt
section is in fact 'Sensors'. I'd paste the info, but it's all in Dutch.
