I don't know if it helps any but I get a similar error when portage tries to upgrade to nvidia-drivers 96.43.11 from 96.43.09. Yes, I have an old card.

Because I don't have any issues, I'm going to mask the newer version but this is a bit annoying.

I'm not able to help, unfortunately, but I have exactly the same problem.

When I looked for /var/log/messages, I didn't find anything (not even the file) so I can't help with that and right now, my Gentoo box is compiling X so it will be busy for a while. :) If anyone wants to see some output from ...

Yes if you don't touch (i.e. don't format) /dev/hdb1 then all will still be on there if you decide to re-install.

I've no idea about the passwd=foo option. Why not just change the root password when the cd loads i.e. use the passwd command.
You can then start ssh and login remotely as root ...

I ran into this one too. After some offline weeks due to me moving to another city, I finally got my internet connection back. When trying to fix things after removing e2fsprogs, my internet connection died (as it turned out, due to a scheduled maintenance downtime that I didn't know about because I ...

Thanks, that worked, dhcpcd4 needes a longer time I believe.

Strangely enough, it didn't work here. I downgraded to 3.2.3 but I still have an empty resolv.conf. Did version 4 get mad at being uninstalled and added a write protect to the file? :)

Seriously, though, becuase this used to "just ...

Sir, I am eternally (or thereabouts) in your debt. While I suspected this was the answer, it is always nice to get confirmation.

Thank you very much.

I've searched around but found nothing so I figure the only option left is to make a fool of myself in public so here goes...

This is really, really stupid and entirely my own fault but before I mess up any further, I tought I'd ask if anyone has any advice.

I somehow (don't ask, please) managed ...

I'm sure this is no help whatsoever but a few days later I simply tried again (after synching) and this time it worked. Either there was something temporarily wrong with my system or someone fixed something. I don't know...

I got this error today from Subversion 1.4.5. It does indeed say that it wants Berkeley DB 4.0.14 and there is no sign of 4.0.* in the tree.

I have 1.85-r2, 4.2.52_p4-r2, 4.3.29-r2, 4.5.20_p2 and 4.6.21 installed.

Any ideas? I'll try to look at this a bit later but I have no time right now so I ...

One of the things that made me stay with Gentoo is the community. How do you fork a community?

Personally, I'm staying until the last rsync mirror is dead.

Well, I have no idea what happened but downgrading to 0.24.2 broke something so I had to fall back on portage. A reemerge of paludis 0.24.5 solved the problem and everything works now.

1) Yes I meant 0.24.5
2) Do you mean you got the error when you called /usr/local/bin/paludis or after you uninstalled that local copy?

I got it when I called /usr/local/bin/paludis. That's what worries me so I wonder if there is something else broken on my system.

I also tried downgrading but ...

paludis -if paludis

Now it downloaded the 2.24.5 tarball for you.

Now unpack it somewhere
tar xvjf /path/to/distfiles/paludis-2.24.5.tar.bz2 && cd paludis-2.24.5 && ./configure && make && make install

Now you have a 2.24.5 executable at /usr/local/bin/paludis

And since you don't want to do ...

Apart from the personal conflicts that happen in any sufficiently large group, I sometimes get the feeling that people push themselves too hard. This isn't exactly work (to most people) but it can sure seem like that sometimes.

Perhaps quitting and returning is the only way to really get a break ...

What might it mean? This is with Paludis 0.20.2 and amd64 system.

I don't have the answer, unfortunately, but I get the same with Paludis 0.20.2 on an x86 system so I'm interested as well.

[Edit: grammar...]

So... I'm thinking... should I go ahead with trying 4.4. I'm fairly new to Xfce but I like it a lot.

I've also recently switched to Paludis (on the same day as Xfce, actually, but afterwards) and I wonder if anyone else has successfully used it for installing Xfce? I've had issues with a few ...

Problem solved. I've added qt-3.3.6-r4 to package_mask and then 'paludis -pi world' showed me, that gtk-engines-qt depends on it. This is not the fact, so I reinstalled this one and now everything is fine.
Thanks for the help.

Similarly (is that a word?) here. It turned out that I had klibido ...

Just to make it clear,
there are two qt libraries. qt3 that most of the programs use for now, and qt4 that may be used by some programs (kde4 will use it when it gets out). There are qt3 and qt4 useflags, too. So don't worry, the qt4 installs in a separate slot.

I knew that... No scratch that ...

@arlsair see here, may be a lead,

Nope, 'fraid not. :wink:

I get this too. The funny thing is that if I let Paludis downgrade and then immediately afterward do a new paludis -pi world it wants to upgrade again, but ...

Glad I could be of help to someone.

Make that two someones. :)

I didn't notice the message at first (probably because I was occupied with iPod troubles). When I did notice it today I went in here and searched for "kernel" "support" "inotify" and this thread was on the top of the list.

@staffan : My iPod works fine with the new udev. I'd double check your fstab and make sure you weren't depending on coldplug to load any usb-related modules. You might need/want to set up some udev rules. If so, here are two excellent resources: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml and ...

I suppose there has been some changes. My iPod used to work but after the update it keeps saying that /dev/ipod doesn't exist. I've written a rule based on information available elsewhere and it has worked flawlessly until just now.

I didn't get any udev errors, though.

Hopefully someone will be ...

Har du testat att ha både sunrise pathen och din egna path i PORTDIR_OVERLAY samtidigt? Man kan ha flera pathar där, separerade med mellanslag.

Ja, självklart kan man det... Det står ju till och med i dokumentationen... Jag var nog väldigt trött igår.

Stort tack för hjälpen, nu fungerar det bra ...

Hejsan!

Nu är jag förvirrad och vänder mig till det skandinaviska forumet i stället för att göra bort mig globalt. (Danskar och norrmän vet redan att vi svenskar är korkade så jag avslöjar inga hemligheter... :wink: )

Jag använder sunrise men vill installera en ebuild jag fann i Bugzilla (oolite ...

Inte just... Jag är kemist (fil. mag.) och jobbar med kemikalielagstiftning.

Det blir visserligen en hel del datoranvändande men för den sakens skull kan jag inte säga att jag jobbar inom IT.
