 |
|
Hi
I'm having trouble with updating my system with emerge -uDp world. This topic is being discussed already, but none of the proposed solutions worked for me. It seems to me that portage is sort of confused. When I type emerge -uDp world, it tells me things like:
| Quote: | !!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-apps/util-linux-2.11z-r6" have been masked.
!!! (dependency required by "sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.6.10-r1" [ebuild])
!!! Problem with ebuild sys-apps/man-pages-1.64
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.
!!! Depgraph creation failed. |
Another example: if I omit the "uD", portage wants to downgrade gnome to 2.2.2 for some reason.
Does anybody have ideas?

what about using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~arch" (replace arch with x86 or whatever your architecture is) maybe that will allow you to emerge the masked stuff.
a while back i used to cd into the portage directory and unmask stuff manually in one of the files that is in that directory. perpahs that will help you.
good luck.

Didn't help. What finally did help was the following brutal method:
cd /usr
mv portage portage_old
emerge sync
somehow, the tree was corrupt... |

I had the same problem a while ago and found a less brutal method to fix it
If you edit
/var/cache/edb/virtuals
and remove any line that reference the first package it lists
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-apps/util-linux-2.11z-r6" have been masked.
you should be good togo.
Hope it helps.
