Unmasking Sunbird [SOLVED]

Message

MagusWizardo · Post by **MagusWizardo** » Fri Mar 18, 2005 6:15 am

I am trying to install sunbird via

emerge mozilla-sunbird-bin

It tells me that the package is masked by 'package.mask'. Searching the forums for 'unmask sunbird' tells me that I need to put:

=app-office/mozilla-sunbird-bin-2.0.20040812/

Into /usr/portage/package.unmask . Unfortunately, this doesn't work, and portage gives me the same error. For the record, the exact error is:

root # emerge mozilla-sunbird-bin
Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "mozilla-sunbird-bin" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- app-office/mozilla-sunbird-bin-0.2.20041112 (masked by: package.mask)
# <agriffis@gentoo.org> (19 Aug 2004)
# Masking because this package is not ready for prime, but want it in
# portage for better observation (and users are clamoring)

- app-office/mozilla-sunbird-bin-0.2.20040812 (masked by: package.mask, package.mask)

How can I fix this?

=app-office/mozilla-sunbird-bin-2.0.20040812/

Typo. You want

Code: Select all

=app-office/mozilla-sunbird-bin-0.2.20041112

Well, that's the next version, but anyway, you had the first 0 and 2 flipped, and you didn't want the / at the end.

And you'll also need to add

Code: Select all

=app-office/mozilla-sunbird-bin-0.2.20041112 ~x86

to /etc/portage/package.keywords.

P.S. this really belongs in Portage & Programming.

Try to remove the trailing slash in the unmask line.

MagusWizardo · Post by **MagusWizardo** » Fri Mar 18, 2005 6:48 am

I put those lines in, and I still get the same error:

wyvern root # echo "=app-office/mozilla-sunbird-bin-0.2.20041112" > /usr/portag
e/profiles/package.unmask
wyvern root # echo "=app-office/mozilla-sunbird-bin-0.2.20041112 ~x86" > /etc/p

mask, -* keyword)

(I purposely overwrote both files incase anything I've done up till now was causing any cascading errors...)

Am I crazy, or does this seem not normal?

package.unmask isn't in /usr/portage/profiles, it's in /etc/portage.

Moved from Other Things Gentoo.

Oh, right. Now how'd I manage to misread that

Anyway, that fixed, I'm now getting this error:

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-libs/lib-compat-1.0-r2" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-libs/lib-compat-1.4 (masked by: missing keyword)

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 "app-office/mozilla-sunbird-bin-0.2.20041112" [ebuild])

Strange thing is, based on advice in this thread, I looked in /usr/portage/sys-libs/lib-compat/lib-compat-1.4.ebuild , and I see, quite clearly, this:

KEYWORDS="x86 ppc sparc alpha ~ia64"

Now, since I'm running x86, and x86 is in the KEYWORDS, wouldn't that mean it isn't missing the keyword?

donjuan · Post by **donjuan** » Fri Mar 18, 2005 8:29 am

Yes, that's right. I'm a bit confused right now on this. Try emerging it by itself (probably should use --oneshot for good measure).

Would I be right in guessing that this is why Sunbird is masked?

donjuan · Post by **donjuan** » Fri Mar 18, 2005 8:46 am

No, this is something basic that should work fine. When I meant to emerge lib-compat by itself I meant

Code: Select all

emerge --oneshot lib-compat

MagusWizardo · Post by **MagusWizardo** » Fri Mar 18, 2005 8:55 am

*doh* .. I realy need to start thinking when I copy/paste

emerge --oneshot lib-compat still tells me 'missing keyword'.

donjuan · Post by **donjuan** » Fri Mar 18, 2005 9:00 am

Have you synced recently? Try that and see if it fixes things.

MagusWizardo · Post by **MagusWizardo** » Fri Mar 18, 2005 9:17 am

Does about 2 hours ago count as 'recently'?

donjuan · Post by **donjuan** » Fri Mar 18, 2005 9:28 am

Yeah, that's recent.

What's the output of

Code: Select all

emerge -s lib-compat

and

Code: Select all

etcat -v lib-compat

You'll need the gentoolkit for the etcat command.

Code: Select all

emerge info

would also be helpful at this point.

And just for the hell of it, you could try

Code: Select all

echo "sys-libs/lib-compat ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

And after a bit of fiddling because gentoolkit was also masked,

# etcat -v lib-compat

It strikes me as odd that those seem to contradict each other... I read it as the top saying that libcompat isn't installed (or that no version of it is), but the second seems to say that it found lib-compat-1.4 installed. I ran emerge -s again, incase somehow it had been pulled in with gentoolkit, but... same output... or does 'Only printing found installed programs' mean some other connotation of 'installed'?

This is the exact same output as I get and I'm on amd64. Are you sure you're on x86? Because a different architecture is the only thing I can think of that would be causing this problem, and is also why I asked for emerge info.

About the installed programs thing, I'm not exactly sure what that's all about.

Well, this is not right. Can you post /etc/make.conf as well?

MagusWizardo · Post by **MagusWizardo** » Fri Mar 18, 2005 11:41 pm

Ok, I noticed that sometime, somehow, for some reason, that 'ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="-*"' (of all things) had ended up in make.conf

Time for me to stop fiddling around with stuff on the wrong side of midnight, I guess... I removed that and everything works.
Thanks for the help.
