Error while updating world

mike · Guest

Hi there!
I get the following error message, when i try to emerge --pretend --update world:

!!! Error: couldn't find match for ~net-www/mozilla-1.0_rc3 in net-www/galeon-1.2.3

Looks like the ebuild script for mozilla rc3 isn't ready.
Where can I change this dependency so that I can update my system ?

THX,
Mike

If it's unavalible, that means that it's masked and is not considered prime-time for use. If you really must have rc3, you can edit your /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask and search for mozilla.

In mine (rsynced as I posted), it's near the top with the comment " Just masked until more testing can be done. (sandymac, 24 May 2002)"

Unless there is a feature you must have, it's probably best to wait a day or two.

Thanks for your answer, alec!

I do not really need rc3, but I couldn't update my system, because it was searching for rc3.
Now it works, I changed/updated the rsync server.
