 |
|
I recently did an emerge sync. It completed fine. But when I do emerge -up world, I get this message:
| Code: |
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies |
aux_get(): (3) Error in sys-libs/cracklib-2.7-r6 ebuild.
Check for syntax error or corruption in the ebuild. (--debug)
-
aux_get(): (3) Error in sys-apps/texinfo-4.5 ebuild.
Check for syntax error or corruption in the ebuild. (--debug)
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-apps/texinfo-4.3" have been masked.
!!! (dependency required by "sys-devel/autoconf-2.57-r1" [ebuild])
!!! Problem with ebuild app-office/gnumeric-1.0.12
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.
!!! Depgraph creation failed.
|
Could someone give me some guidance as to what I can do to try to fix this? |

hhmm...today i did an emerge sync and as a normal user when I did emerge -p world here's what i got:
| Quote: |
bash-2.05b$ emerge -p world
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies /
aux_get(): (3) Error in sys-libs/cracklib-2.7-r6 ebuild.
Check for syntax error or corruption in the ebuild. (--debug)
-
aux_get(): (3) Error in sys-apps/texinfo-4.5 ebuild.
Check for syntax error or corruption in the ebuild. (--debug)
...done!
|
Then I tried the same thing as root and I got:
| Quote: |
rooster root # emerge -p world
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
|
Strange. Does anyone know whats going on? |

Hunh. When I run it as root, it works fine as well... maybe it's a permissions thing?
(Looks like I missed out on a boatload of updates, too...) |

cracklib here would not update unless I updated portage. But portage wanted cracklib (DOH!).

Yeah that suggestion does make sense... but I looked at the permissions on /usr/portage/sys-libs/cracklib and it seems to be ok.

It is a permissions problem.
Non-root users of Portage should be in the "portage" group.
Use a command like the following to check:
| Code: | # groups username
wheel audio users |
In this example the user is not in "portage" and must be added: | Code: | # usermod -G wheel,audio,users,portage username
# groups username
wheel audio users portage |
Now the user can emerge and all will be well

| Thanks you chris! When did this change take effect do you know? because before I was able to query portage as a normal user. I wonder if they ever announced this change. Does anyone have any info on this change? |

| That's new for 2.0.47. All 2.0.47 versions have that behavior, but I believe backwards compat with the wheel group was retained until recently. |
