Hello, all ...

It's been months since i've updated my Gentoo machine (like my Debian box, it just runs and runs ...). However, I tried this morning and get this:

jmzorko@pugspoo ~ $ sudo emerge --update --deep world

[ebuild N ] app-admin/apache-tools-2.2.8 USE="ssl"
[ebuild U ] dev-libs/boost-1.34.1-r2 [1.33.1] USE="-icu% -tools%"
[ebuild N ] dev-util/boost-build-1.34.1 USE="python"
[blocks B ] <dev-libs/boost-1.34.0 (is blocking dev-util/boost-build-1.34.1)
[blocks B ] sys-apps/pam-login (is blocking sys-apps/shadow-4.0.18.2)
[blocks B ] >=sys-apps/shadow-4.0.14-r2 (is blocking sys-apps/pam-login-4.0.14)

* Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
* installed at the same time on the same system.

For more information about Blocked Packages, please refer to the following
section of the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook (architecture is irrelevant):

www.gentoo.org/doc/en/han...ook-x86.xml


... so, I try to remove boost, but ...

jmzorko@pugspoo ~ $ sudo emerge --unmerge boost*

--- Couldn't find 'boost_1_34_0' to unmerge.

--- Couldn't find 'boost_1_34_0.tar.gz' to unmerge.

>>> No packages selected for removal by unmerge

Can anyone give me a clue as to what I should do here? Yes, I use Boost, but I don't mind unmerging it for a bit ... i'm mainly interested in getting the emerge --update --deep world to complete right now.

Regards,

John
