Since I have an Ati Radeon card, I thought what would be the purpose of having Nvidia drivers installed on Entropy, and I removed some of them manually. So, now when I try to upgrade...I get this:
- Code: Select all
# equo upgrade

At that time it didn't occur to me that removing Nvidia drivers might mess with dependencies on Entropy.
When I try to search "nvidia-userspace" on Entropy this is what I get:
- Code: Select all
# equo search nvidia-userspace

As you can see the required version is "nvidia-userspace-270.41.06" and the version available for install is "nvidia-userspace-270.41.03".
Also I did update Entropy with --force option & performed "equo deptest" but that didn't fix the problem.
So anyway, how would I go about fixing this problem. I don't have much experience with Portage, so if anyone suggests about installing the required dependency from Portage...I guess you'll have show me how it's done
Also I know I'm coming with a lot of stupid problems on the forum, but please bear with me...I'm a newbie in the Gentoo land and sometimes I learn to fix my own problems when no one responds lol.
