I'm trying to understand how portage works here. I've been using the ~x86 keyword and the gs-sources kernel for quite a while now. The last time I did an emerge sync; emerge -uDpv world, I get:

Code:


These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N   ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r5  -build +crypt -evms2 -aavm -usagi



I really don't understand why portage wants to emerge gentoo-sources all of a sudden. I already have 2 versions of gs-sources emerged. I tried this with and without the 'crypt' use flag set in make.conf with no difference.

Any ideas anyone?

Did you ever have gentoo-sources installed? Maybe you deleted the directory in /usr/src instead of using emerge -C, so gentoo-sources would still be in your world file...

look at current version of gentoo-sources (I'd guess ur on r4), look at that version - its a new one (r5).

it wants to update the kernel sources - ofc, needing a recompile :)

No, I've never installed gentoo-sources, I'm using gs-sources...

Code:

emerge -s gentoo-sources

Nope. Both of my gentoo computers now want to emerge gentoo-sources even though I'm using gs-sources on both. I don't have lm_sensors installed on either. This is blowing my mind man...

OK, I think I've figured out the problem. I had acpid installed which depends on virtual/linux-sources which was set to sys-kernel/gentoo-sources in the virtuals file. I changed this to read sys-kernel/gs-sources and all is good again.

Is this acceptable practice to change the virtuals file??

That is precisely what you do.
