 |
|
On a relatively minimal system, after a sync a couple of days ago, portage suddenly wants in install more than 40 new packages (almost 300 MB of downloads) without updating anything. Looking at the output of emerge -Ddpu world, this fragment stands out:
| Code: |
Parent: (app-text/djvu-3.5.28-r3:0/0::gentoo, installed)
Depstring: || ( gnome-base/librsvg media-gfx/inkscape )
Priority: optional
installed: gnome-base/librsvg-2.40.21::local
ebuild: media-gfx/inkscape-1.2.1-r2::gentoo
ebuild: media-gfx/inkscape-1.2.1-r2::gentoo
Candidates: ['media-gfx/inkscape']
Child: (media-gfx/inkscape-1.2.1-r2:0/0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) USE="X cdr exif jpeg openmp readline spell -dia -graphicsmagick -imagemagick -inkjar (-jemalloc) -postscript -svg2 -test -visio -wpg" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_9 -python3_10 -python3_8"
Parent Dep: media-gfx/inkscape required by (app-text/djvu-3.5.28-r3:0/0::gentoo, installed)
|
Why does app-text/djvu insist on installing media-gfx/inkscape when the system already has gnome-base/librsvg installed?

Most likely because gnome-base/librsvg is not "visible" in a repository for one reason or another (because it is not listed in Candidates).
A simple test:
| Code: | | portageq best_visible / gnome-base/librsvg |
This should return the librsvg-2.40.21.
Also check with:
| Code: | | emerge -pv1 gnome-base/librsvg |

Is there any particular reason for you to have a (custom?) librsvg ebuild in the repository "local"?
Also you can see what pulls in what with --tree switch to portage.

Probably because 2.40.21 is the last Rust-less librsvg.

I didn't notice that the librsvg in my local repository did not have an amd64 keyword. I added it to the local repository, and now portage seems happy with the current state of the system. :)
Thank you.

We have a winner! I have a machine where the last compilation of gcc took 23:45 (and I don't mean 23 minutes and 45 seconds), and I intend to keep rust (which I believe requires an even more resource-intensive compilation) off of this machine for the remainder of its life. |

I have a similar machine where gcc takes in the vicinity of 30 hours. I moved it to rust-bin.
