 |
|
What's going on here. I had xfree emerged, then saw some stuff about xorg, so I was following the guide found here http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xorg-config.xml
and it says to
so I ran
emerge unmerge xfree (it removed successfully)
then this
| Code: |
root@nix portage # emerge xorg-x11
Calculating dependencies
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "xorg-x11" have been masked.
!!! possible candidates are:
- x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0 (masked by: ~keyword)
!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.
root@nix portage # emerge xorg-x11-6.7.0
Calculating dependencies
!!! Problem in x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0 dependencies.
!!! "Specific key requires an operator (x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0) (try adding an '=')"
root@nix portage #

This means that the xorg-x11 package is marked "unstable" in portage. That's what the little "~" means. If you're running an x86 arch, which you undoubtably are, then you can use:
| Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -pv xorg-x11 |
That will let you see xorg-x11 dependencies.
| Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge xorg-x11 |
That'll emerge it. This is how you emerge any package which is marked unstable in portage.

Hi,
I had the same problem and used the other solution which works also: using the file /etc/portage/portage.keywords , add:
| Code: | =x11-base/xorg-x11 ~x86
=x11-terms/xterm-184 ~x86
|
Greetings,
