 Posted: Fri Jul 15, 2011 8:43 am Post subject: [SOLVED] updating old system. Circular dependencies |
 |
|
Hi all.
I've an old server with gentoo that hasn't received updates in a while...
Using this post update old system to 10.0 or 2008.1 i've managed to update portage, bash and python.
Now, i want to update the entire system, and i'm stuck with "circular dependencies":
| Code: |
emerge --update --deep --newuse world -av
* IMPORTANT: 5 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news to read news items.
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

I've tried to emerge gcc and glibc independently :
| Code: |
emerge --nodeps -1av gcc
emerge --nodeps -1av glibc
|
but no luck...
This is an important server  and i want to install it from scratch only if necessary....
Cheers,
Bruno Santos

gcc-4.4.5 needs at least 2.8 version of glibc. But glibc >= 2.11 needs at least 4.3 version of gcc.
glibc-2.11 ebuild has:
| Code: | x86? ( >=sys-devel/gcc-4.3 )
amd64? ( >=sys-devel/binutils-2.19 >=sys-devel/gcc-4.3 ) |
lower versions don't, but I'm not sure if they don't require at least gcc-4.3 as well.
Try to emerge glibc-2.10 with gcc-4.1.1 then gcc-4.4.5 then glibc-2.12. |

try to emerge a lower version of either one first and after that the later ones; you can check the versions in the ebuilds, eg like that:
| Code: | grep gcc- /usr/portage/sys-libs/glibc/glibc-2.*.ebuild
grep glibc- /usr/portage/sys-devel/gcc/*.ebuild |
you have glibc-2.5 and gcc-4.1.1-r3 installed, so eg the latest version of gcc you can install with your glibc is gcc-4.2.4-r1, which can in turn be used to install a version of glibc-2.13.
GOOD LUCK!

didn't think of it.... so blind with updating the server, never thought of doing it progressively! i've done that with python... - but gcc takes for ever to compile  !
thank you both for the answers...
I'll try and post the luck !
Cheers

Hi again.
Thank you all for the replys.
It's done.
I've emerged glibc-1.10.1-r1 (with gcc-4.1.1 - the installed version) with success. Next i've emerged gcc-4.4.5, again with success and next glibc-1.12.2 (latest stable version) and now i have the server fully updated.
Thank you all.
Cheers,
Bruno Santos
