 Posted: Mon Oct 20, 2008 4:23 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Update of libssl kills wget; no emerges possible |
 |
|
My last emerge upgraded libssl to 0.9.8 and revdep-rebuild somehow didn't recompile wget with this new library. Since libssl.so.0.9.7 is no longer on the system, wget no longer functions and, hence, no emerges are possible.
Is there any way I can get wget back again so I can continue to emerge?
Thanks.
[SOLVED]
I have another Gentoo system and I built a package, /usr/portage/packages/All/wget-1.11.1.tbz2, with 'quickpkg wget'. I then scp'd it to the same spot on the broken system and emerged it with 'emerge -k /usr/portage/packages/All/wget-1.11.1.tbz2' and now wget works.

| For future reference, emerge can be made to build such packages by default by adding either -b or the equivalent --buildpkg to EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS in /etc/make.conf. Another alternative is available in the form of package repositories which include most basic packages built with default USE settings. |

Many thanks. I wasn't aware of the EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS but probably will conserve disk space by not enabling the -b flag. I will bookmark the tinderbox repository (of which I was not aware). |
