 |
|
Hello there,
yesterday I installed dropbear in order to extract the public key from my tv receiver (running openatv).
Went well, but forgot to unmerge the package again (nevermind since it's tiny anyway).
Today, I went through the usual update cycle followed by emerge -a --depclean.
| Code: | Calculating dependencies... done!
>>> Calculating removal order...
>>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:
!!! 'net-misc/openssh' (virtual/ssh) is part of your system profile.
!!! Unmerging it may be damaging to your system.
net-misc/openssh
selected: 9.0_p1-r2
protected: none
omitted: none
All selected packages: =net-misc/openssh-9.0_p1-r2
>>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
>>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.
Would you like to unmerge these packages? [Yes/No] n
Quitting. |
I was pretty baffled, when I found out that portage wants to remove openssh instead.
It really should not do this.
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/virtual/ssh/ssh-0-r1.ebuild shows clearly that openssh
should have a higher priority if minimal use flag is not set (which isn't).

[ Colors : set, unset ]
* Found these USE flags for virtual/ssh-0-r1:
U I
- - minimal : Prefer net-misc/dropbear over net-misc/openssh

Should I file a bug report or is there something I overlooked?

When you emerged dropbear, did you emerge with -1/--oneshot or without?
If dropbear is in your world file, and openssh isn't, then dropbear has priority.
Also, ultimately the virtual's order is mostly about what to pull by default rather than what to "keep". Keeping specifics over others is done through world file. |

^^ That makes sense. Of course I didn't emerge with --oneshot, since I was neither aware of
the virtual package at this point of time, nor thought about openssh not being in world and dropbear taking precedence.
After removing dropbear from world openssh is protected and the minimal use flag of virtual/ssh works as it should.
Okay, --depclean nagging to remove dropbear now, but I can live with that.
Thanks for clarification, great help Ionen! [/quote] |

If you want both dropbear and openssh, put them both in the world file.
Why do you need dropbear to extract a public key from a different device? Is OpenSSH's ssh-keyscan not sufficient for this? |
