[gentoo-user] emerging gnome - blocked package
András Csányi
I have a little problem with gnome.
I wanted to install gnome, but I got this error message:
[blocks B ] <gnome-base/gail-1000 (is blocking x11-libs/gtk+-2.14.4)
I thought isn't a problem because I'm using Gentoo for 3 years. I
uninstall gail and gtk+ and emerge is working fine... But after this
the blockign situation is same.
Okay, nothing problem I thought, I install the gail and after I can
install gtk+ BUT - and this is a really big BUT - gail depending of
gtk+.
softwarealchemy sayusi # emerge -avt gail
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] gnome-base/gail-1.22.3 USE="-debug -doc" 659 kB
[ebuild N ] x11-libs/gtk+-2.14.4 USE="X jpeg jpeg2k tiff
vim-syntax -cups -debug -doc -xinerama" 0 kB
[blocks B ] <gnome-base/gail-1000 (is blocking x11-libs/gtk+-2.14.4)
Total: 2 packages (2 new, 1 block), Size of downloads: 659 kB
After this I tried to install gtk+ first and gail second, but blocking
situation is same.
So my knowledge is over and I have to ask others...
What can I do in this situation?
Thank you for help!

Unmerge gail and install gnome and you should be fine.
Gail is now part of gtk+ since gtk+-2.14.
For reference http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/gnome-base/gail/

Hi Daniel!
Gail isn't installed on my system.
Can be the cause of this problem that few packages - below - have ~x86 keywords?
media-video/totem ~x86
x11-libs/gtk+ ~x86
dev-libs/glib ~x86
media-plugins/gst-plugins-gio ~x86
dev-util/intltool ~x86
dev-libs/totem-pl-parser ~x86
I these packages hasn't ~x86 keyword I can install only firefox-2.x.

You're trying to use a ~arch gtk+ with an arch gail. The block message
shows that gail versions less than 1000 block, and you are trying to
emerge 1.22.3 because gail-1000 is keyworded ~arch. Add it
to /etc/portage/package.keywords and the block will go away.
This is one of the disadvantages of running a mixed arch/~arch system.

Okay from your first mail I got the intention you want to install gail.
Anyway Neil's recommendation should do the trick. gail-1000 is just a
dummy ebuild to make the transition from gtk+ with separate gail to
gtk+ with integrated gail easier.

Maybe you don't have to install gail at all? What depends on gail? I
heard that recent versions of gtk+ integrate gail functionality. So
for each package that depends on gail, you could see if a more recent
version of that package does not have the gail dependency.

Hmmm... good idea. I will try it!
On other hand. I like stable system. If I can I avoid the ~x86
packages, but sometimes I have to... :(
Thank you for yours suggestion.
