 Posted: Sun Dec 11, 2016 1:11 am Post subject: ncurses - got completely stuck... 5.9-r5 vs. 5.9_r101 |
 |
|
I am completely stuck with the ncurses versions 5.9-r5 and 5.9_r101 blocking each others.
In fact, I don't even understand, how this did happen, as I never did fiddle around with them.
First I tried to unmerge the lower version, and hoped, this would solve the block (in vain).
And then there is this line in scarlet letters, which bogs my mind...
| Code: | | [blocks B ] <sys-libs/ncurses-6:0 ("<sys-libs/ncurses-6:0" is blocking sys-libs/ncurses-5.9-r101) |
Where does the condition "<sys-libs/ncurses-6:0" emanate from?
Here is the complete output from my last of many, many tries...
| Code: |
styx portage # emerge --ask --update --deep --backtrack=50 @world
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

For more information about Blocked Packages, please refer to the following
section of the Gentoo Linux x86 Handbook (architecture is irrelevant):
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:X86/Working/Portage#Blocked_packages
|
The whole thing happened on one of my Raspis, which is one of my backup domain controllers.
I seems both versions were happily on the system, until (apparently after syncing) something
strange happened. I decided to go to Gentoo two years ago, and I had the impression, that I
have mastered the worst part of the learning curve. But right now it looks not so good...
Maybe someone could explain, what measures can be taken, to fill the slots in a predefined
way, and get the thing working again. What puzzles me the most is this: part of the system
packages use r5, others r99, resp. 101. While I never did fiddle around with these system
packages, as I would like to avoid the kind of hazzle I got now. 
Thank You anyway for the assistence! And best regards
Peter |

thanks for the reply josef.95
If I run
| Quote: | | emerge --oneshot --tree --verbose --ask ncurses:5/5 ncurses:0 |
the (predictable, sadly) result is:

NOTE: Use the '--verbose-conflicts' option to display parents omitted above
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.

I had the same issue and tried a lot of methods to end this (n)cursed story.
I found the right solution here
| Polynomial-C wrote: | Alright, here comes a last resort solution. Please try the other solutions suggested in this thread FIRST!
The dangerous step in this help is step 2. Enabling preserve-libs (step 1) won't do any harm to a Gentoo installation.
- Make sure you have preserve-libs enabled. (See our Wiki article about preserve-libs). If you don't want to enable it or don't know if it's really enabled, don't proceed! Otherwise you can break your whole Gentoo installation.
- Now run
| Code: | | emerge -uDav --with-bdeps=y --ignore-built-slot-operator-deps=y @world |
- After that don't forget to run
| Code: | | emerge -av @preserved-rebuild |
Now your system should be up-to-date again.
Really, this is nothing but a last resort solution. Please try any other possible solution first!
[edit]Added an explanation about preserve-libs[/edit] |
I didn't know the --ignore-built-slot-operator-deps=y option and it showed a very interesting difference to all other attempts as it pulled in sys-libs/ncurses-5.9-r101:5 and not sys-libs/ncurses-6.0:5/6.
My dependency tree showed the same requirement for sys-process/procps-3.3.12:0/5 and net-misc/dropbox-14.3.17:0/0 on >=sys-libs/ncurses-5.7-r7:5/5 and sys-libs/ncurses:5/5 sys-libs/ncurses:0/5.
[edit] As I didn't trust emerge -av @preserved-rebuild I performed good old | Code: | revdep-rebuild --library=libncurses.so.5 -i -p
|
This seemed to be needed as some important programs like bash and grub were broken. I had to remove ncurses manually from the list in order to avoid circular references.
Note that the following command still fails as expected: | Code: | # emerge --oneshot --tree --verbose --ask ncurses:5/6

What ever went wrong in the slot-system - the --ignore-built-slot-operator-deps=y option was the key.

that **seemed** to work on my test system but then - guess
what - the ncurses-6.0 came out over night in the other slot

^^^^^
NOTE: Use the '--verbose-conflicts' option to display parents omitted above
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.
* Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be

This would be laughable if it wasn't so sad 
I'll try your method again - it will probably work ...

Is it only vlc that wants :0/6? Then unmerge vlc and re-install later |

well, further rebuilding / re-emerging / etc finally
got my system into an apparently stable state
(emerge -uDav world says "nothing to emerge"  )
of course, ruby was kicking up a fuss but that too
was fixed by a bout of rebuilding
