Hi,

I have gentoo-dev-sorces (2.6.8-r3) as kernel, nvidia-kernel (1.0.6111-r1) and nvidia-glx (1.0.6111).

When I do a emerge --pretend --update world he wants to downgrade the nvidia drives (its ok because I installed them with ACCEPT_KEYOWRDS="~x86". because the old ones didn't work for me) and install the other kernel.

Code:


baselinux root # emerge --pretend --update world

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

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.26-r9
[ebuild  N    ] media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.5336-r4
[ebuild     UD] media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.5336-r2 [1.0.6111]




How can I tell him not to do this?

If you want to keep some unstable packages on your system, you should add them in /etc/portage/package.keywords (create it if you don't have it):
Quote:
media-video/nvidia-kernel ~x86
media-video/nvidia-glx ~x86

Now you can
Code:
emerge -u world

and it will act just the way it should.
