 |
|
Hi..... I recently made a fairly big change to my system... I had been using the kde-sunset overlay, and using from it, certain parts of the KDE3 environment. On my most recent emerge world, kde-sunset was causing "problems" as it usually did, and I decided to finally send it to the dustbin of (my) history, remove the overlay, and begin the process of replacing the apps and other parts of the framework that I depended on. So far, so good.... except there's one thing now that's troubling me.
Each time I do an emerge, I am advised about existing preserved libraries, and that I should | Code: | Use emerge @preserved-rebuild to rebuild packages using these libraries
|
However, when I try to do this, the emerge aborts with: | Code: | emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "dev-qt/qt-meta:3".
(dependency required by "@preserved-rebuild" [argument])
|
How can I clear out this remnant of the past from portage? I've finded and grepped around /usr and /etc to try to find where it lives, but no luck....
Thanks.

Could you check in the world set file: | Code: | | /var/lib/portage/world |
I'm hopeful that it'll just be mentioned in there. |

Does (assuming gentoolkit is installed) | Code: | | equery d dev-qt/qt-meta:3 |
give any indication what is pulling it in? |

No, ian.au... that command gives no output. I think because the qt-meta:3 package is now gone, and in fact nothing is pulling it in, but it has somehow been recorded as a member of the package set @preserved-rebuild, and that is (I think) what is causing the problem.

D'oh.... always nice when you can solve your own problem 
I found that qt-meta-3.3.8b-r2 was in fact still installed on my system.... I had thought it was removed. After I removed it, problem went away
And, of course, the reason for the error message ("no ebuilds") was because I had removed the kde-sunset overlay.
Thanks for the ideas. |
