[SOLVED] Circular dependencies - libcrypt, libxcrypt, etc.

Message

Hello there,

I've been trying to upgrade my Gentoo server, but keep getting this 'circular dependencies' error, typically looking like this:

Code: Select all

 * Error: circular dependencies:

(dev-lang/python-3.9.9-r1:3.9/3.9::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) depends on
 (virtual/libcrypt-2:0/2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime_slot_op)
  (sys-libs/libxcrypt-4.4.25-r1:0/1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (runtime)
   (sys-libs/glibc-2.33-r7:2.2/2.2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)
    (dev-lang/python-3.9.9-r1:3.9/3.9::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)

I've read through the news article 'migrating from glibc[crypt] to libxcrypt in stable' and followed the advice there, but to no avail.

I've also followed the advice here (linked from the news article): https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:To ... ementation

. . . but, again, I'm still stuck with circular dependencies and fast running out of options.

I've noticed that a few posts exist with a similar problem to the above, but the advice given there hasn't applied in my particular scenario.

Any ideas on what to try next would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

jonath

Thanks for your post.

Right, so as you've observed, the circular dependency advice here doesn't quite work if it's Python 3.9 and not Python 3.10.

Can you look here please (I'll also update the first page)?

As a general tip, when you post output, please post the full output. Start with your shell prompt and what you typed, and end with the next shell prompt. For this particular case, the people who can help you can probably guess from the news item what you did that led here. However, that won't always be true, and if they guess wrong, they may then be wrong about some other aspect of your system configuration. That could, in turn, lead them to assume you can do something you can't or otherwise give advice that isn't applicable to your particular case. From sam_'s post, it looks like he has already identified a likely way forward for you.

Hello

I had a problem with a server i don't updated since 2 months

Try

Code: Select all

emerge -1 portage

And update again, the dependancy must be solved

I'm not sure I understand. If you're hitting a problem, please start a new thread with the output of that command and an attempted world update, and we'll go from there.

I send the solution which works for me.
Updating portage manually before running the update and the circular dependancies solved

Many thanks for getting back to me.

I followed steps 1, 2 and 3 from the guide referred to.

Step 3 now gives a different error (see below - slot conflict) but I have been able to update some packages (presumably ones without dependencies on libcrypt / libxcrypt). There were quite a few packages pending updates (200+), but I've got this down to 91:

Code: Select all


These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

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. You may want to try a larger value of
the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if
that will solve this conflict automatically.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man
page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

As a general tip, when you post output, please post the full output. Start with your shell prompt and what you typed, and end with the next shell prompt. For this particular case, the people who can help you can probably guess from the news item what you did that led here. However, that won't always be true, and if they guess wrong, they may then be wrong about some other aspect of your system configuration. That could, in turn, lead them to assume you can do something you can't or otherwise give advice that isn't applicable to your particular case. From sam_'s post, it looks like he has already identified a likely way forward for you.

My apologies - it was my first post to the Gentoo forums! I thought I had paid attention to the various 'before you post' guidelines, but clearly I missed something. Always wary of bombarding people with too much information to begin with, but I appreciate the points made.

In this case, pyblake2 is a deprecated package that has been removed from the repository. So it is safe to attempt "emerge -avc dev-python/pyblake2" to clean up this small issue.

If something is still clinging to pyblake2 from that command (it will complain if so), then post that full output here or update said package --oneshot. Though, I doubt it should be a problem.

Ah ha! I think you've found the problem! I removed pyblake2 as suggested, and everything went absolutely fine after that.

I also have a Gentoo-based laptop that I've not used for over a year and was having similar problems trying to update everything on that. I also removed pyblake2 from the laptop and it's now busy updating 860 packages!

Many, many thanks. I don't think I would ever have stumbled upon the answer here without help.

I think the problem can be considered solved. The original server I was having issues with is now bang up-to-date with everything.

Be sure to clean out all other unnecessary packages with 'emerge -ac' after a full update. Just ensure nothing in that list is directly used by you before committing to it.

I've seen plenty of first posts worse than yours.

My intent was to reduce round trips for you next time, by ensuring you post the needed information first off. Some people search for posts with zero replies. If your opening post is vague and unhelpful, then the first reply will be a request for the information that we need in order to help you. That gets you above zero replies, so the people looking for zero-reply threads cannot see you anymore, and will not notice when you post back with the required information. In contrast, if you open with the required information, the first response may well be an answer for your problem. Also, reducing round trips is good for you anyway. If you post, wait a day to get a request for more information, then reply with that information, you may need to wait another day for someone to apply your response to produce an answer. If you post the information first off, then after that first day, you might get a real answer.

Indeed. Thank you for that. I hadn't done a deplean for a long time on that server and there were a LOT of packages flagged for removal! All safely removed now and server now up-to-date and working great.

Many thanks for everyones help here.
