 |
|
So, I emerged the latest portage (V2.0.51).
My first trial to execute
| Code: | | #emerge -puvD world |
generated a high number of warnings. Unfortunately, I didn't save them and subsequent execution of the same comman does not reproduce the warnings. (Auto healing?)
Now, I get the information:
| Code: |
schaffter root # emerge -puvD world
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies ...done!

Before I go off and unmerge modutils plus module-init-tools, can someone confirm that this corresponds to other peoples experiences and that this didn't brake anything?
I'm a little bit worried, since this computer should preferrably remain stable and functional. People are depending upon it.

Hi
I solved it by unmerging modutils. Then I emerged module-init-tools: the update of this package needs another version of modutils and fixes the problem.

Which kernel do you have? For 2.4, you need modutils; and for 2.6 you need module-init-tools. You shouldn't have both at once, but if you don't have the right version, you won't be able to load any modules.

I use the 2.6.8-r10 gentoo-dev-sources kernel.
Your current modutils version is 2.4.25.
You have to unmerge it.
The new module-init-tools-3.0-r2 uses the modutils-2.4.27 version [have a look at the ebuild]. But in your portage tree you will not have any more any modutils package.
When i do etcat:
| Code: |
hostname serge # etcat -v modutils
[ Results for search key : modutils ]
[ Candidate applications found : 5 ]
Only printing found installed programs.
* sys-apps/modutils :
[ ] 2.4.23 (0) OVERLAY
[ ] 2.4.24 (0) OVERLAY
[ ] 2.4.25 (0) OVERLAY
[M~ ] 2.4.26 (0) OVERLAY
[M~ ] 2.4.27 (0) OVERLAY
|
So you can do what i did without any fear...
