[SOLVED] gnome-vfsmm-2.x.x build errors

[FiNCH]

Hey guys, baffled here. I get this error when i build gnome-vfsmm-2.6.1 as well as gnome-vfsmm-2.12.0

Code: Select all

I've seen this error all over the boards, and I've tried everything stated. Nothing in Bugzilla helps me either =/

Does anyone have any ideas?

[moocha]

What's the version of gnome-base/gnome-vfs you have installed? I speculate it should match the version og gnome-vfsmm (at least in the major and minor version numbers), i.e. if you want gnome-vfsmm-2.6.1 you probably need gnome-vfs-2.6.x, for vfsmm-2.12.x you need vfs-2.12.x and so on.
Please note that it's pure speculation, though.

Hey Moocha thanks for the quick reply

Was actually just looking into that.

I have gnome-vfs-2.16.1 installed.

Another thing I should add to this, is when i tried to unmask gnome-vfsmm-2.16.0 and build it, i get this error:

Code: Select all

--- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.keywords: dev-cpp/gnome-vfsmm-2.16.0
--- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.keywords: dev-cpp/gnome-vfsmm-2.16.0

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies   
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=dev-cpp/gnome-vfsmm-2.16.0" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-cpp/gnome-vfsmm-2.16.0 (masked by: package.mask)
# Daniel Gryniewicz <dang@gentoo.org> (06 Sep 2006)
# GNOME 2.16 mask for testing

I'll look into that as of now, to see if I can figure that out (totally new to gentoo here if you can't tell =P) ...but in the meantime, any help would be appreciated And if anyone has any other ideas that would be great!

[FiNCH]

Well, I got it all fixed. Fell back to gnome-vfs-2.12.2, and I could build gnome-vfsmm-2.12.0 ...duh

Thanks moocha, you got me thinking in the right way

Peace all.

[moocha]

Glad to hear you managed to fix it. Have fun!

Unmasking gnome-vfsmm-2.16.0 also solves the problem.

FiNCH: you need to add a "=" before the line in /etc/portage/package.unmask if you specify a version number, like so:

Code: Select all

=dev-cpp/gnome-vfsmm-2.16.0

That will take away that error message of yours

Thanks for the information, putting in comments ">=dev-cpp/gnome-vfsmm-2.16.0"
from "/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask" solved the problem, now it installs gnome-vfsmm-2.16 instead of the 2.12 version.

This bug is also documented : http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147331

That's not really a good way to do it. Changes in "/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask" will get overwritten on the next "emerge --sync".
Such modifications should always be made in "/etc/portage/package.*".

So true, I just emerge --sync and it wants to re-emerge gnome-vfsmm-2.12

So I've put ">=dev-cpp/gnome-vfsmm-2.16.0" in "/etc/portage/package.use" but doing emerge -Dup world shows that it wants to re-install the 2.12 version. I need to keep the 2.16 version.

What should I do to make the changes permanent?

[Kuhndog86]

put it in package.unmask instead of package.use

[zurd]

Neat! That worked perfectly well, thanks for the info!

[j4miel]

Perhaps it is masked for a good reason?

[david.stevenson]

late jan, and I was still having the same problem. But 2.16.0 is now keyworded not masked so it is easier.

Code: Select all

echo "dev-cpp/gnome-vfsmm" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
