 Posted: Thu Mar 21, 2019 5:09 pm Post subject: [Solved]Satisfy ebuild with package installed out of portage |
 |
|
Hi all,
The dev-lang/go-1.11.5 package is too far out of date for use with my company. Therefore I un-emerged the go package (emerge -aC dev-lang/go) and installed the newest binary into /usr/local/go. Go works well now upgraded to 1.12.1.
However I want to update some other packages, such as Docker. Yet emerge asks to re-emerge the go-1.11.5 ebuild, which makes sense, because to portage it isn't installed.
How can I tell portage it is already installed outside of the portage tree?
From my quick skimming of the man docs and searching through the forums I was not able to find an answer. Is there some form of package.mask that refers to a locally installed binary rather than a different ebuild?
Thanks,
Grellyd

But dev-lang/go-1.12.1 is in tree
| Code: | [I] dev-lang/go
Available versions: 1.11.5(0/1.11.5)^st 1.12.1(0/1.12.1)^st **9999(0/9999)^s {gccgo}
Installed versions: 1.12.1(0/1.12.1)^st(06:57:22 PM 03/18/2019)(-gccgo)
Homepage: https://golang.org
Description: A concurrent garbage collected and typesafe programming language |
You run emerge --sync for update tree?

Ha that is my error.
Thanks @fedeliallalinea.
Do you know how far the tree generally lags behind a release schedule? |

If you want to tell portage that a package should be considered installed, you can put it in /etc/portage/package.provided (man portage for the syntax)
