Ehh...I don't even know what these programs do, but these are stopping me from updating my portage along with other softwares.

Code:
emerge -uDp world

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

Calculating world dependencies ...done!

[blocks B     ] sys-apps/utempter (is blocking sys-libs/libutempter-1.1.2.1)
[ebuild     U ] sys-apps/portage-2.1_pre1 [2.0.53]



The output is something like this.
I'm using ~amd64 tree.

They allow unprivileged users to write utmp entries.

Both utempter and libutempter provide virtual/utempter, interestingly utempter-0.5.5.6 does not depend on virtual/utempter being absent before its install I suspect that to be an oversight. Basically choose one, discard the other.

I suggest libutempter for the simple reason that something seems to want it instead of utempter.

today i emerge --sync'ed my portage tree, tried to -DuN world and got this:
Code:

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[blocks B     ] sys-apps/utempter (is blocking sys-libs/libutempter-1.1.2.1)
[ebuild  N    ] sys-libs/libutempter-1.1.2.1  0 kB

What am I supposed to do with this? Thanx in advance

"emerge --unmerge utempter" then "emerge libutempter", then continue on with your world update. You could always skip the second step since the world update is going to merge libutempter, anyhow.

I have just done this and haven't had any issues yet.

Does it mean that utempter is no longer needed?
And libutempter is his replacement?

I'm not a dev, but that's usually what the case is. When things are this similar in name, you can check out the portage tree, and you'll see that it's probably a switch. Something like this isn't as critical as the shadow/pam-login block, but with a little research you can make a good educated guess.

[edit]

I actually just did

Code:

emerge -C utempter
emerge libutempter


which seems to have broken the odd .so.# link or two. This is pretty easily fixed by running something like

Code:

revdep-rebuild --library=libutempter.so.0


though in this case what broke was xterm, which was the next thing to in a -uDa world, and probably why the upgrade got pulled down.

I just synced and got this same issue today. This is the 2nd time in the past couple of weeks this has happened (pam / shadow was the other). If this is a common issue that is going to happen to everyone else, isnt' there someway to keep it from happening?

To some extent it's above our heads. The gentoo devs or project devs decide to change how their linking structure works, or what the name of something really should be -- in this case it looks like they (ebuild maint folks, or the project devs -- I'm really just speculating here) began to think utempter was more of a library than a program, and that its name should reflect that. Or something major changes, like which program best takes care of login authentications (pam_login vs. shadow). It's just that portage is polite enough to ask us instead of thinking it's smart enough to decide on our behalf.

If you do a
Code:
emerge -avuDt world
you can see that it is xterm who requested the change. However, I did a
Code:
equery depends utempter
which showed me that no package is currently using utempter, so I safely could unmerge it.

Another little something to make some of those have a bit more warm and cozy feeling about this.

When you umerge utempter, you will notice it gets rid of /usr/lib/libutempter.so and all the likes. and libutempter is just going to put them all back.

Just FYI, you don't need -D and --deep they are both the same thing.

As said before this type of 'blockings' are traditional minor issues we, gentoo users, suffer. The inpact will vary depending on your system, and as a rule of thumb I recomend you either check here in the forum where you'll find the solution (my experience is 100% of the times) or continue learing on Portage and how to find out dependencies and how to solve them by yourself.

You'll see that your dependencies will vary depending on what you've installed, just as an example look at my case, I first did:
Code:

 # emerge -C utempter
 # emerge libutempter



Them the reverse dependency rebuild show interesting dependencies (I've left only interisting output here):
Code:
 # revdep-rebuild --library=libutempter.so.0
:
:
Checking dynamic linking...
  found /usr/bin/Esetroot
  found /usr/bin/Etbg
  found /usr/bin/Eterm
  found /usr/bin/Ettable
  found /usr/bin/xterm
  found /usr/lib/libEterm-0.9.3.so
 done.
  (/root/.revdep-rebuild_bf98354d.3_rebuild)
:
:
All prepared. Starting rebuild...
emerge --oneshot  =x11-terms/eterm-0.9.3-r4 =x11-terms/xterm-207
..........
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 2) x11-terms/eterm-0.9.3-r4 to /
:

etc...


So, in this case libutemper got installed and also eterm & xterm recompiled (installed). See the output from the log of installed packages in my system:
Code:

# genlop -l | tail -n 4
     Sat Jun  3 12:15:37 2006 >>> sys-libs/libutempter-1.1.2.1
     Sat Jun  3 12:27:50 2006 >>> x11-terms/eterm-0.9.3-r4
     Sat Jun  3 12:28:46 2006 >>> x11-terms/xterm-207

HTH, therisen


Code:

[ Searching for packages depending on utempter... ]
kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.3
root@smoker / # 


Seems that if you use KDE 3.5.3, it needs it.

I have the same dependency. Does this mean that I cannot unmerge utempter?

Even kde 3.5.2-r6

Code:
natasha ~ # equery depends utempter
[ Searching for packages depending on utempter... ]
kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.2-r6


But I just removed it anyway and emerged libutempter instead.
It seems both packages contain the same files anyway. It shouldn't break kdelibs.

For those curious of what got removed and what added...

natasha ~ # emerge --unmerge utempter

Of course you can put it on the world file, but it better if you have only your main packages, and that doesn't mean that the ones that are not there won't be updated.
That's why we have the "--deep" (or "-D") clause on the emerge program, if you make:

Code:
emerge -uDav world


...then every packages that are on the world, and every dependencies will be updated.

And the ultimate reasoning behind the change is:

Code:

*libutempter-1.1.2.1 (13 May 2005)

  13 May 2005; Seemant Kulleen <seemant@gentoo.org>
  +libutempter-1.1.2.1.ebuild:
  New package as a replacement for sys-apps/utempter. This seems to be the
  package we will move to as the preferred utempter, as it works better for
  freebsd, and also mike harris of redhat/freedesktop is rumoured to be
  rejumping the development of this.  At any rate, at least Flameeyes will
  be happy.

The real question is the other way around: Is there a particular reason to have this package in world? This reason might actually exist, but I think it does not in this case.

--oneshot has nothing to do with future updates (alejandrobiondo explained this). If the package is a dependancy of an other world package, it will be updated.

^^same issue here

Code:

plato ~ # emerge -av --update --newuse --deep world

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

Calculating world dependencies ...done!
[blocks B     ] sys-apps/utempter (is blocking sys-libs/libutempter-1.1.2.1)
[blocks B     ] sys-fs/cryptsetup-luks (is blocking sys-fs/cryptsetup-0.1-r3)



^^and I had uninstalled it befor ??)

^^whats going wrong there ??
