 Posted: Fri Jul 01, 2016 12:37 am Post subject: xorg-server conflicts. |
 |
|
Hello everyone.
I am attempting to change from amdgpu to fglrx to compare their performances. I am currently using the unstable branch on portage. When changing the VIDEO_CARDS variable to fglrx then attempting to remerge with | Code: | | emerge -av --changed-use --deep --verbose-conflicts @world |
I get the following output:
| Code: |
!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:
x11-base/xorg-server:0
(x11-base/xorg-server-1.18.3:0/1.18.3::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.18[udev] required by (x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.10.3:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)
^^ ^^^^

<=x11-base/xorg-server-1.17.49[-minimal] required by (x11-drivers/ati-drivers-15.12-r1:1/1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)
^^ ^^^^^^^

I saw this in another thread and made it's suggested changes to /etc/portage/package.mask/xorg-server:
| Code: |
>=x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.10.1
>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.18.0
>=x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.18-r1
|
and then attempting to remerge using the previous command I get this new output:
In the package installed list I see:
| Code: |
<x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.10.0 ("<x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.10.0" is blocking x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.18-r1)
|
and after it I see:
| Code: |
* Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
* installed at the same time on the same system.
(x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.18-r1:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
>=x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.17 required by (x11-base/xorg-server-1.17.4:0/1.17.4::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)
|
When I look at the list of things being emerged I see:
| Code: |
x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.18-r1::gentoo
|
Why is it ignoring the fact that I'm masking out that version of xorg-drivers? What am I doing wrong? Changing from unstable branch to stable would probably fix this, but I'd really rather not and I want to see if there is another solution.
EDIT: Just tried masking out ati-drivers to the stable version, same error.
Thanks for your time. |

Try the option "--backtrack=30" for the emerge command.
This resolved the issue here. |

Maybe a newer ebuild/patch for ati-drivers is needed?
I needed an update from nvidia-drivers-304.131 to nvidia-drivers-304.131-r4 to be able to update xorg-server. However this update was only possible with --backtrack=30, otherwise it showed similar blockers. |

| Forget about fglrx, it is dead. It will never be updated to modern X server or kernels. |

Exactly this, + if you want to compare them anyway, try to use the same Xorg version otherwise it is not much of a comparison.
So instead of updating all of your xorg, try the fglrx on the new xorg (if possible)
But yeah, you probably want to look at the new AMDPRO drivers instead of old fglrx. |

| I am having this exact same problem but other than some brief references to getting rid of fglrx I don't understand the solution being suggested. Can someone clarify? What are we suppose to be doing? I tried masking package versions as well and it did nothing. Thanks. |

| It means if you want to use fglrx you need to mask recent xorg-server and kernel versions, or migrate to radeon or amdgpu. |

OK. Let me back up. So this exact same error message came when I did my world update and although I do have fglrx and Intel in my make.conf file this isn't occurring because of a change that I have made on my box.
So I removed fglrx from make left intel and added amdpro but that didn't do anything.
I did mask most recent xorg srever too. I assume the requested upgrade of xorg is what kicked this whole shebang off in my case but too many oter things are also asking for the new version as well. |

Because a manual rebuild in the past without using --oneshot might have put it in your world file? Or did you forget to rebuild xorg-drivers? |

I'm sorry but I am confused. Can you clarify a bit. I am pretty sure that xorg is in my world file and should be. Is that incorrect? Orare you talking about fglrx, which isn't in it?
Basically, any emerge I do at this point, including trying to rebuild xorg-drivers, bombs out with the same error as the original poster. Masking doesn't work because other packages are asking for the new version of xorg-server.
I am not trying to hijack this thread but since this is the exact same issue seems better not to duplicate it in a new thread.

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in
the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
not be installed simultaneously.
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man
page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

Basically my post and your portage output tells you everything you need to know. Just editing make.conf and removing a use flag from there achieves nothing unless affected packages (in this case xorg-drivers) are rebuilt with -N. If emerge is not able to remove the ati-drivers blocker by itself after/while doing that, then the package is part of your world file (in case you emerged it manually in the past without --oneshot or -1). So you unmerge it manually. Also, the new driver is correctly called 'amdgpu' and only supports relatively new chips, so you need to check if that is the right thing to do for your card rather than selecting the established AMD opensource drivers.
Taking the other route (keeping fglrx), well, if other packages are requiring the xorg-server upgrade then these other packages' versions would need to be added to the mask as well, again you can see from portage output which one that is. |

I understand that but am having the same problem as the original poster in that portage won't rebuild it when using -N. It kicks out the package block error.

So are you indicating that ati-drivers should not be in the world file and if it is I should remove it? It is impossible to manually unmerge ati-drivers or xorg-drivers because xorg-server has them as a dependency. I suspect manually unmerging and re-emerging xorg-server isn't the answer.

I am not partial to either. That is jsut the way my system was originally setup. This thread is the first that I heard fglrx is essentially dead. As I indicated I wasn't making changes to my system, as the original poster did, that caused this. It was just a regular world update.
I apologize if I am missing something that seems obvious to the more seasoned Gentoo'ers
ICannotStandXorg were you able to resolve this on your box? |

No, it's not impossible if you do, as I said, _rebuild_ xorg-drivers after the use flag change. Nowhere did I talk about xorg-server or removing xorg-drivers.
Of course, at that point it should be clear what driver you are migrating to, if you want to be greeted with an X server on next restart. |

Thanks asturm. I appreciate your patience and help.
I guess I didn't make it clear but I can't rebuild the xorg-drivers. When I do the package block message is kicked back. |

Then be creative, just remove ati-drivers before rebuilding xorg-drivers  |

I'm not communicating well. I can't do that because ati-drivers is being pulled in by xorg-drivers...and xorg-drivers is being pulled in by xorg-server. So "no" I am unable to do that. Any other ideas? |

How about finding out the packages that is depending on ati-drivers. If you remove/disable that part, you can easily remove ati-drivers; and since nothing else should would depend on it, it shouldn't be pulled in.
You can use this to find any packages that is depending on this package.
| Code: | | equery d ati-drivers |
After this package is removed, you can easily add this temporarily to your package.mask to prevent it from being pulled in. The nice part of this is that portage will tell you what packages are pulling that in too.
| Code: | | x11-drivers/ati-drivers |
Once this is resolved, you should be able to remove that line if you like. |

Thanks for the info! But...I relly feel like I am missing something in the conversation. As I said it is xorg-drivers/xorg-server that is asking for this.
| Code: | # equery d ati-drivers
* These packages depend on ati-drivers:
x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.17 (video_cards_fglrx ? x11-drivers/ati-drivers)
# equery d xorg-drivers
* These packages depend on xorg-drivers:
x11-base/xorg-server-1.17.4 (xorg ? >=x11-base/xorg-drivers-1.17)
|
And not sure if relevant but as I indicated if I rety to rebuild at--drivers without fglrx it throws the block error.
Thanks everyone. |

It appears that the root cause is the following
| Code: |
(x11-base/xorg-server-1.18.3:0/1.18.3::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
>=x11-base/xorg-server-1.18[udev] required by (x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.10.3:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)
^^ ^^^^
(x11-base/xorg-server-1.17.4:0/1.17.4::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
<=x11-base/xorg-server-1.17.49[-minimal] required by (x11-drivers/ati-drivers-15.12-r1:1/1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) |
The first line says that xorg-server-1.18.3 is available for update (nothing special there), but the second line says that that ati-drivers-15.12-r1 can only be used with xorg-server version lower than 1.17.49. So this indeed is a conflict.
Looking in the ebuild file, /usr/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers/ati-drivers-15.12.ebuild you can see that it is true:
| Code: | DEPEND="
<=x11-base/xorg-server-1.17.49[-minimal] |
Basically, what is happening is that xorg 1.18 became stable, but the available ati-drivers cannot use this version. This should be reported as a bug (maybe it already has been reported, not sure). Or perhaps ati-drivers package is deprecated now? I am not sure, I am not using this package myself.
In the meantime to get around this, the best thing is to actually mask anything forcing the update, the 3 packages mentioned above and probably more. However, please use this only as a temporary measure and remove these from package.mask as soon as the issue is resolved, otherwise you will hit other problems later. |

Yes you can.

As I said, it is dead. It's not a bug because the dependencies are correct. |

Budoka,
asturm already told you everything you need to know. ati-drivers is a deprecated package will not work with the latest xorg version. Therefore you need to do the following:
1. unmerge ati-drivers
2. Replace the drivers with either xf86-video-amdgpu (better, but only supports relatively new chips) or AMD opensource drivers (not sure what the exact name is).
This should resolve your blockers.
asturm, correct me if I am wrong. |

| x11-base/xorg-drivers will only request x11-drivers/ati-drivers if told to do so by USE=video_cards_fglrx. Budoka: please confirm that you have set VIDEO_CARDS in /etc/portage/make.conf to a value that does not include fglrx. Then, run emerge --oneshot --verbose x11-base/xorg-drivers && emerge --ask --depclean --verbose x11-drivers/ati-drivers. If either of those fail, post the output. |
