 Posted: Sun Jul 06, 2008 11:33 am Post subject: [solved] emerge does not update the whole world |
 |
|
Hey Gentoo-Users,
maybe I found a really strange bug in emerge:
At first I ask emerge for updating the world (the whole system):
| Code: | mysystem ~ # emerge --verbose --update --deep --newuse world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating world dependencies... done!
Total: 0 packages, Size of downloads: 0 kB
>>> Auto-cleaning packages...
>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.
mysystem ~ #
|
Then I search with eix for packages which can be updated (with an up-to-date eix index)
| Code: | mysystem ~ # eix -u
[U] app-arch/lzma-utils
Available versions: 4.32.5 4.32.6 {nocxx}
Installed versions: 4.32.5(21:14:00 04/12/08)
Homepage: http://tukaani.org/lzma/
Description: LZMA interface made easy
[U] sci-mathematics/pari
Available versions: 2.1.6 2.1.7-r1 2.3.2 ~2.3.2-r1 ~2.3.3 {X doc elliptic emacs galois gmp static}
Installed versions: 2.1.7-r1(17:34:47 11/08/07)(-doc -emacs)
Homepage: http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/
Description: A software package for computer-aided number theory
Found 2 matches.
mysystem ~ #
|
Because eix found two packages for updating I ask emerge to update them:
| Code: | mysystem ~ # emerge --verbose --update lzma-utils pari --pretend
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild U ] app-arch/lzma-utils-4.32.6 [4.32.5] USE="-nocxx%" 468 kB
[ebuild U ] sci-mathematics/pari-2.3.2 [2.1.7-r1] USE="-X% -doc -emacs" 1,969 kB
Total: 2 packages (2 upgrades), Size of downloads: 2,436 kB
mysystem ~ #
|
And now portage wants to update both packages. But why does not emerge wants to update them when it should update the whole system? Both packages are not in the world file, but they are needed by other packages and hence emerge --depclean does not want to remove them.
| Code: | mysystem ~ # equery depends lzma-utils
[ Searching for packages depending on lzma-utils... ]
media-libs/libpng-1.2.26-r1 (app-arch/lzma-utils)
sys-apps/coreutils-6.10-r2 (app-arch/lzma-utils)
sys-devel/m4-1.4.11 (app-arch/lzma-utils)
mysystem ~ # equery depends pari
[ Searching for packages depending on pari... ]
dev-perl/math-pari-2.010709 (~sci-mathematics/pari-2.1.7)
mysystem ~ #
|
Do you have an idea why an emerge world update does not want to update these packages?
Thanks for your replies.

| Add "--with-bdeps=y" to your emerge update command and see if that helps. |

| How can they not be in the world file? Aren't they installed yet? Anyway, the role of "world" changed in Portage 2.2. "emerge World" doesn't include "system" anymore, and by default it rebuilds installed packages. There's also a "@everything" set, which might be the sum of "world" and "system", but I suspect it's not that easy. Personally, I don't get the point of the whole thing, but take a look here. |

Thanks DarrenSmith and Xenon for your fast reply.

DarrenSmith, I tried your suggestion and it partially works.
| Code: | mysystem ~ # emerge --verbose --update --deep --newuse --with-bdeps=y world --pretend
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating world dependencies... done!
[ebuild U ] app-arch/lzma-utils-4.32.6 [4.32.5] USE="-nocxx%" 468 kB

mysystem ~ #
|
But it just finds one of the two updates. Want does "--with-bdeps=y" do in detail? Until now I thought that "emerge --update --deep --newuse world" checks for updates and new use-flags for all local installed packages!? Was this behavior changed? Furthermore, one packages with an update is just missing in the update list of emerge.

At the moment I am using the x86 stable portage package in version 2.1.4.4 and I do not have portage 2.2. On my system a lot of installed packages are not in the world file. In this file there are just the packages which I installed with "emerge package-name" and not their dependencies. Both of the missing updates are just dependencies as I showd in my first post. Maybe they are in the system set. I don't know. I thought that an emerge deep world update checks for updates of all installed packages.
Thanks.

| The system set only contains packaged that are actually system-related, so I would rule that out. And of course, all I wrote about Portage 2.2 does not apply here. |

From the man page:
| Code: | | In dependency calculations, pull in build time dependencies that are not strictly required. This defaults to ´n´ for installation actions and ´y´ for the --depclean action. |
As for pari, it looks like math-pari specifically requires version 2.1.7:
| Code: | # emerge -tpv math-pari
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

[ebuild N ] dev-perl/math-pari-2.010709 1,617 kB
[ebuild N ] sci-mathematics/pari-2.1.7-r1 USE="-doc -emacs" 0 kB |
Yep, look in /usr/portage/dev-perl/math-pari/math-pari-2.010709.ebuild:
| Code: | DEPEND="~sci-mathematics/pari-2.1.7
dev-lang/perl" |

Thank you very much for your fast help!
I was just wondering why these two packages do not appear in the update list of a deep emerge world update. But now it is clear. I will close this topic in adding "solved" to the subject.
Have a nice day.
