 |
|
I just installed Gentoo 1.4_rc2 from the gentoo-basic-x86-1.4_rc2.iso a few days ago without any problems, until now. I did an emerge rsync and emerge -up world with somewhat of a weird error that I've never seen before.
| Code: | dakzer ~ # emerge -u world
Calculating world dependencies |
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=media-libs/xvid-0.9.0" have been masked.
!!! (dependency required by "media-video/avifile-0.7.29.20030204" [ebuild])

I thought maybe there might have been an rsync server out of sync or something, so I tried emerge rysnc again with the same result.
I checked the /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask for any mention of xvid. There wasn't any mention at all. I checked for avifile, but anything greater than avifile-0.6.0 was not masked.
I searched the forums and the only suggestions I could find were to unmask one of the offending programs, but none seem to be masked.
So, in my desparation, I'm asking you, the gentoo community, to light the dimming lightbulb in my head and gimme some ideas. |

| I had the same problem, could not find the solution, then went away, drank a beer, and tried again. That did it. Must have been the beer. |

A maybe related question. What's the difference between
and
? |

As far as I can tell, they do the same thing. I did a man emerge and under rsync, it says to see sync and sync says:
| Code: | sync
Initiates a portage tree update with one of the rsync.gentoo.org mirrors. Note that any changes you have made to the portage tree will be erased. Except for in special circumstances, this uses rsync to do the update. See make.conf's description of PORTDIR_OVERLAY for a method to avoid deletions. |
So, I'm guessing unless you really know what you're doing, they do the same thing. |

| Please, please do a search on sync and rsync before a moderator sees this deviation to the thread and yells at us. Its one of those "highly duplicated ones." (Fast answer emerge rsync = old, sync =new, both do same thing, eventually sync will win) |

DakZer,
Do this:
| Code: |
emerge /usr/portage/media-libs/xvid-0.9.0
|
and then
Your just missing an ebuild. It should work. |

Well, emerging xvid as mentioned worked, but didn't solve the problem. It did, however give me the idea to try emerging avifile too. That worked and did seem to solve the problem. I can now emerge -u world, but emerge -u --deep world doesn't work: same problem. At least I can update the system though. So, temp solution: emerge avifile. Thanks, daelight for the idea. |
