Quick fix for e2fsprogs, com_err, and ss blockers

OK, but can I just remove mit-krb5 without causing any problems to my system? As far as I know, I don't think I'm using it.

ok, all the posts above are related to mit-krb5 package. but is this also related to nft-utils? the machines i tested this fix all have mit-krb5 package installed so the fix works like a charm. but my last machine does not. can someone confirm this fix working if the initiator is nuf-utils?

I think a lot of these problems for me are stemming from when I was having a bright idea about putting samba on this machine using the following use flags (ads,kerberos,winbind). I was going to use LDAP like Active Directory - but since I never got around to this I just removed those three use flags.

Now, from issuing the update it didn't mention anything about ss or com_err as it's removing these flags from the packages that had the dependency for mit-krb5.

So, now I expect that this will fix the problem for me, and I can then just clean up the packages that don't need to be on my system - or in this case mit-krb5. Of course, if you're using kerberos for something, then don't do this.

snIP3r: by the looks of it running this should fix your system, you can ignore the mit-krb5 stuff:

I broke my rule: Look at forums before deleteing blocks. lol.

That will teach me. Of course mount and umount spit out a list of missing libraries, which I restored from my backup with the help of knoppix.

Then emerge -pUDN world showed no blocks!?! revdep-rebuild came up clean. Time to update my backups...

Good thread guys, your solutions are spot on.

Just had the same problem and solved with this:

Why do stable x86 packages depend on unstable ~x86 packages? Is there a reason that the kerberos packages that are needed to fix this issue are still listed as unstable?
A stable system should be just that, stable and not depend on ~keyworded packages. Once you start allowing ~ keywords, then you'll need another package added to the packages.keywords file, then another. Soon it will just be easier to go ~x86. None of these packages should have been release to stable until they were all ready to release.

looks like mit-krb5 is now stable. no need to unmask it.

OK, my efforts to correct the the damage to my gentoo functionality as a consequence of dealing with this problem left me with a borked system.

I no longer have sys-apps/util-linux on my system...

I'm now chrooted using gentoo min install cd and tried to emerge sys-apps/coreutils-6.10-r2, and have come up with:

unmerge util-linux and emerge coreutils :-)

Wow, so many solutions.
Between this and other posts there must be a dozen.
I'm sure several of them work. Maybe one will work for me.
On the other hand, I already broke my gentoo once this week.
I think I'll sit this one out until the devs straighten this out.
