Hi,

When I trie to emerge php i get the folowing error:

gentoobak etc # emerge apache php
Calculating dependencies -
emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy "sys-apps/bzip2".

Now I can't find the "packages.mask" file.

Can I make that file myself or is there a command to do that.

TiA

Code:
emerge sync && rm -rf /var/cache/edb/dep/* && emerge regen

That fix it?

So I ran into the same problem, but I was wondering why it would be needed to run 'emerge regen', given this snippet from the man page:

Quote:
regen Causes portage to check and update the dependency cache of all
ebuilds in the portage tree. The cache is used to speed up searches
and the building of dependency trees. This command is not recom-
mended for rsync users as rsync updates the cache using server-side
caches. If you do not know the differences between a 'rsync user'
and some other user, then you are a 'rsync user' :). Rsync users
should simply run emerge sync to regenerate the cache.

I know I am an "rsync user", so why is the 'emerge regen' required to fix this?

regenworld may fix this too (rebuilds /var/cache/edb/world).
