 |
|
I've never had revdep-rebuild succeed. I always get an error like the following:
| Code: |
Calculating dependencies \
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "app-text/gpdf:0" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- app-text/gpdf-2.10.0-r2 (masked by: )
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
|
This time, I was prompted to run it after emerging ghostscript and gutenprint. My system has always been setup as "x86", so I don't understand why anything would require a masked package. That seems to undermine the whole idea of ACCEPT_KEYWORDS. Can someone shed some light on this?
Thanks

Is gpdf from an overlay?
| Code: | # emerge -s gpdf
Searching...
[ Results for search key : gpdf ]
[ Applications found : 0 ]
# locate gpdf

Thanks for the reply. When I run the command you suggested, I get this:
| Code: |
Hedley lorenzot # emerge -s gpdf
Searching...
[ Results for search key : gpdf ]
[ Applications found : 1 ]
* app-text/gpdf
Latest version installed: 2.10.0-r2

|
But the error suggests that revdep-rebuild wants a masked version of gpdf. How do I work around this?
