 Posted: Thu Jul 22, 2021 6:53 pm Post subject: sys-apps/fwupd minimal build |
 |
|
So I have this headless minimal box with a Samsung SSD and I want to update the firmware on that.
OK, fwupd should support that, I already did that once some time ago.
| Code: | emerge -av sys-apps/fwupd
The following REQUIRED_USE flag constraints are unsatisfied:
exactly-one-of ( elogind minimal systemd )
|
No systemd here.
Also no elogind.
So minimal appears to be the right choice:
| Code: | equery u fwupd
* Found these USE flags for sys-apps/fwupd-1.5.9-r1:
+ - minimal : Install a very minimal build (disables, for example, plugins, fonts, most drivers, non-critical features)
|
let's try again:
| Code: | emerge -av sys-apps/fwupd
Calculating dependencies... done!

??? ...the minimal flag is not working?
Any ideas? |

According to fwupd ebuild minimal means
| Code: |
minimal? ( !introspection )
|
All other deps are intact.

So, what you are saying is the use flag description is wrong and I should file a bug? |

I saw that - but the font thingies should not be pulled in anyway, so I shouldn't even get to this circular problem? |

Try
| Code: |
USE="-man minimal" emerge -1av fwupd
|
Does it still pull fonts?
Does it really matter to you if it will pull some fonts?

No change.
Well, it's a minimal headless system and extra packages are extra packages :-)
(But yes, I could remove them after the update again... hmm...)
And it does not make sense for a CLI tool to install fonts packages?
Meanwhile I think Samsung SSD are not generally supported yet, only a few select. I do faintly remember doing a Samsung SSD upgrade on a Thinkpad but I'm no longer so sure.... :-/ |

As a test plz try
| Code: |
USE="minimal" emerge -pva fwupd
USE="elogind" emerge -pva fwupd
|
and you might see if "minimal" works in any meaninful way or no...
Also "dell" and "uefi" will pull fonts according to the ebuild but yours are switched off...
Strange.....

Nope, both pull in the extra packages.
Meanwhile I found a workaround how to unpack the iso image and manually extract and run the updater: https://blog.quindorian.org/2021/05/firmware-update-samsung-ssd-in-linux.html/
...and it worked! :-) |

USE=minimal seems to work fine. USE=minimal does not mean no dependencies, only that dependencies are avoided where possible. In this case, if you look at the ebuild, you see that fwupd has a hard DEPEND on pango[introspection]. Pango has an RDEPEND on harfbuzz, and thus you hit this problem.
I cannot say whether it is right that fwupd has a hard DEPEND on pango, but as the tree stands today, it has that. As long as that is there, you will need harfbuzz. You could disable USE=truetype to make harfbuzz not need freetype. |

Thank you for confirmation and your time investigating this!
If someone stumbles over this also - the search function will find it :-) |
