Subject: [gentoo-user] Updating a system....catch-22...
Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2008 06:09:37 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <490366.10796.qm@web65405.mail.ac4.yahoo.com> (raw)
I have a system that I'm just bringing back online after a few months down due to hardware issues and lack of resources to get new hardware.
Some things are going okay - I got it past the e2fsprogs/e2fsprogs-lib update fiasco (after hosing it and using GRML to get it back up).
However, I'm now stuck.
emerge world -vuDN won't complete because a package can't use "java-config", complaining about python-updater needing to be run.
However, python-updater won't run because the of blocks due to software being outdated and masked.
So it's a catch-22. I need to install a new java-config and other software before I can get python-updater to run, but the emerge won't go through without running python-updater for at least one package.
Any ideas on how to resolve?
TIA,
Ben
