asked on
gentoo emerge portage
I'm new to Gentoo and emerge.
How do I get past this point (look below)?
What exactly is going wrong?
It looks to me like I can't upgrade portage because bash is the wrong version...???
right?
localhost ~ # emerge portage --pretend
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild U ] sys-apps/sandbox-1.2.18.1-
[ebuild NS ] dev-lang/python-2.5.1-r5 USE="berkdb gdbm ipv6 ncurses readline ssl -bootstrap -build -doc -examples -nothreads -sqlite -tk -ucs2"
[ebuild N ] app-admin/python-updater-0
[ebuild U ] sys-apps/portage-2.1.5_rc2
*** Portage will stop merging at this point and reload itself,
then resume the merge.
[ebuild U ] app-shells/bash-3.2_p33 [3.1_p17] USE="-plugins%"
[blocks B ] <sys-apps/portage-2.1.4_rc
localhost ~ #

I have exactly the same problem, but i'm not sure I understand this solution.
Can you clarify or explain how to "emerge the portage anyway".
emerge portage runs, tells me there is placked packages and to use emerge --pretend or directs me to look at a web guide.
emerge -p portage gives:
[blocks B ] <sys-apps/portage-2.1.4_rc
How do you force it to do it anyway??
Many Thanks,
Phil.

I guess was just a little hesitant to do that...
