setarch blocks util-linux but util-linux depends on setarch?

Tonglebeak · Guru Joined: 23 Mar 2006 Posts: 356

Ayayayayyayayaya. I remove setarch and util-linux pulls it in and gets blocked. I can't remove util-linux as it's part of the system profile.

Geez. Any help?

Don't emerge the new util-linux then. Or, unmerge setarch, then "emerge --oneshot util-linux" by itself, then update world.

setarch is only blocked for util-linux 2.13, the 2.12 version you have installed shouldn't conflict, so you could just mask the later version for the moment.

It does include setarch, so just get rid of sys-apps/setarch. Or remove util-linux from package.keywords.

Looks like nspluginwrapper and x86-chroot are fixed. Should be in the tree soon, if not already there.

hi all!

today i got the same problem here. i hope i fixed it by unmerging setarch, then updating util-linux to the new version 2.13-r2 as portage displayed.

tools setarch, linux32 and linux64 are available.

can someone confirm that everything is ok, and i have not to try to get setarch installed again?

thx in advance

Hi snIP3r,

I had the same problem as you and dealt with it in the same way, by unmerging setarch first and then updating util-linux. It would appear that util-linux now provides setarch, linux32 and linux64. You can check what else it includes with:

I also confirm on my architecture that unmerging setarch first, then updating linux-utilities followed by world works. Maybe SOLVED should be added to the topic of this thread.

Hello all,

I would like to emerge "nfs-utils" and attempt to run:

emerge nfs-utils

results in:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] net-nds/portmap-6.0 USE="tcpd (-selinux)" 22 kB
[ebuild N ] dev-libs/libevent-1.4.3 469 kB
[ebuild U ] sys-apps/util-linux-2.13.1.1 [2.12r-r5] USE="crypt nls unicode%* -loop-aes% -old-linux% (-selinux) -slang% (-old-crypt%) (-perl%*) (-static%)" 2,764 kB
[ebuild N ] net-libs/libnfsidmap-0.19 USE="-ldap" 319 kB
[ebuild N ] net-fs/nfs-utils-1.1.0-r1 USE="tcpd -kerberos -nonfsv4" 764 kB
[blocks B ] sys-apps/setarch (is blocking sys-apps/util-linux-2.13.1.1)

....

1. I try to emerge sys-apps/setarch

2. this package is already installed:

>>> Original instance of package unmerged safely.
>>> sys-apps/setarch-2.0 merged.
>>> No packages selected for removal by clean
>>> Auto-cleaning packages...
>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.

3. I am stuck unable to install my nfs-utils ...

Any pointers on links that could help me resolve this? have been googling but could not find any tips.

thanks in advance,

aspasia.

Just unmerge the setarch package, the binaries it provides are included in recent versions of util-linux (which is why they block each other).
