PostPosted: Tue May 07, 2013 7:38 am    Post subject: [SOLVED] use flags don't work - removal of policykit Reply with quote

I was running a xfce Desktop without polkit, consolekit, upower, udisks and was happy. Now I wanted to update the machine and all of a sudden my use flags get ignored. I cannot understand, how I could fix this. Fact is, I don't need nor want any of those *kit packages.

When I run emerge -uDN world I get the following error:
Code:

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

sys-auth/pambase:0

  (sys-auth/pambase-20101024-r2::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
    (no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot)

  (sys-auth/pambase-20101024-r2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
    sys-auth/pambase[consolekit] required by (sys-auth/polkit-0.110::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)


It seems that gconf and xfce4-session depend on policykit:
Code:

$ equery d sys-auth/polkit
 * These packages depend on sys-auth/polkit:
gnome-base/gconf-2.32.4 (policykit ? sys-auth/polkit)
xfce-base/xfce4-session-4.10.0 (policykit ? >=sys-auth/polkit-0.104-r1)


But I disabled the policykit use flag:
Code:

$ euse -i policykit
global use flags (searching: policykit)
************************************************************
[- cD   ] policykit - Enable PolicyKit authentication support

local use flags (searching: policykit)
************************************************************

        [-  ] 0.18 [gentoo]

        [-  ] 0.4.5_p20120320-r1 [gentoo]
        [-  ] 0.4.5_p20120320-r2 [gentoo]


Why is this not working as expected? What am I doing wrong?

I can't replicate this. When I pretend to emerge those packages, policykit is not being forced upon me.

What is the output of
Code:
emerge -p gconf xfce4-session


What happens after you run another emerge --sync and try it?

This is probably caused by using the wrong profile.

Hmmm... I wonder if he's using this profile:

profiles/targets/desktop/kde/

which seems to contain

use.force:policykit

I am using the default desktop profile. But now I found it - the problem probably was that I got other error messages concerning other packages that caused errors (chromium-binary-plugins). I then removed those other packages emerge was complaining about, now it is clear, why polkit gets pulled in:

Code:

The following USE changes are necessary to proceed:
 (see "package.use" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
#required by sys-auth/polkit-0.110, required by sys-power/upower-0.9.20-r2, required by xfce-extra/xfce4-weather-plugin-0.8.3[udev], required by @selected, required by @world (argument)
=sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.5_p20120320-r1 policykit
#required by sys-auth/polkit-0.110[pam], required by sys-power/upower-0.9.20-r2, required by xfce-extra/xfce4-weather-plugin-0.8.3[udev], required by @selected, required by @world (argument)
=sys-auth/pambase-20101024-r2 consolekit
#required by dev-libs/icu-51.1[doc], required by media-libs/harfbuzz-0.9.12, required by www-client/chromium-26.0.1410.43, required by @selected, required by @world (argument)
=app-doc/doxygen-1.7.6.1 dot


Its the udev use flag of the weather-plugin.

Thank you!!!
