 |
|
When I try to update my system I get a problem which I havn't been able to work around:
| Code: | emerge --update --deep --newuse --pretend world
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies -
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=sys-devel/automake-1.5*" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-devel/automake-1.5 (masked by: profile)
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook.
!!! (dependency required by "sys-devel/automake-wrapper-1-r1" [ebuild])
|
I've tried to add automake-1.5 to /etc/portage/packages.unmask but that wouldn't fly.
I can reemerge automake-1.94 and automake-wrapper with the -O switch. But thats pretty much it.
Any tips how to solve the problem? |

| What does your /etc/make.profile point to? |

Ah,
It points at ../usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-1.4
Found the packages file and the mask, works fine when I commented it out.
Never heard of that file before though...
Thanks alot... |

And portage doesn't complain that that profile is way outdated?

And will stop working on your next emerge sync. Maybe you should upgrade your profile? (There is a howto somewhere... but basically, the steps are in /usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-1.4/deprecated.) |
