 |
|
I can't do an emerge -u world because I keep getting this error:
| Code: |
emerge app-text/docbook-sgml-utils
Calculating dependencies /
emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy "=app-text/docbook-sgml-dtd-3.1".
!!! Error calculating dependancies. Please correct.
|
I followed the instructions here:
http://cvs.gentoo.org/~satai/sgmlfix.html
but that didn't help anything, I still get the same error. Any ideas?

just to emerge -u world you should be able to go to /var/cache/edb/world and delete the entry out of the file. However, I am in the same situation, I can emerge -u world, but I can't emerge -u --deep world because this is a dependency of something I have. I would really like to get this resolved.
Hope this helps...

I had a similar problem today, and those sgmlfix instructions helped me.
But I thought I might suggest a work-around that I used until I found out about the sgml-fix; the technique might help you get past your problems...
| Code: |
[ebuild U ] app-text/sgml-common-0.6.3-r3 [0.6.3-r2]
[ebuild UD] app-text/docbook-sgml-dtd-3.1-r1 [4.1]
[ebuild UD] app-text/docbook-sgml-dtd-3.0-r1 [4.1]
[ebuild U ] app-text/openjade-1.3.1-r6 [1.3.1-r4]
[ebuild U ] app-text/docbook-sgml-dtd-4.1-r1 [4.1]
[ebuild U ] dev-perl/SGMLSpm-1.03-r4 [1.03-r3]
[ebuild N ] app-text/jadetex-3.12
[ebuild U ] app-text/docbook-dsssl-stylesheets-1.77-r1 [1.77]
[ebuild U ] app-text/docbook-xsl-stylesheets-1.57.0 [1.54.1]
[ebuild UD] app-text/docbook-sgml-dtd-4.0-r1 [4.1]
[ebuild U ] app-text/docbook-sgml-utils-0.6.11-r2 [0.6.11-r1]

This process died with the emerge of docuboot-sgml-utils. I had a lot of other stuff to update/break  after this, so I needed a work-around...
I cheated by forcing Portage to think that it had already installed the offending package:
| Code: |
emerge inject app-text/docbook-sgml-utils-0.6.11-r2
|
This isn't great, but it should work -- because (look at my first code listing) I already have a relatively recent version of this package installed. This is an important caveat -- I sort-of know that I can get away with skipping this package for now. I wouldn't try this with a significant upgrade of a major package.
Someday Real Soon I can go back and get rid of this kludge by deleting the place-holder entry in the Portage db:
| Code: |
# rm -rf /var/db/pkg/app-text/docbook-sgml-utils-0.6.11-r2/
|
