Slot conflicts related to qt

TheMachinesTeacher · Posted: Fri Mar 30, 2018 5:19 pm Post subject: Slot conflicts related to qt

I am trying to update my system with emerge -avuUD @world and I am getting quite a few conflicts. 3 of them are related to qt, and 2 are related to boost. The handbook recommends installing the latest version of the conflicting package to solve the problem, but as far as I can tell, I have the latest version of everything that is conflicting. There is also an error about there being no ebuilds to satisfy emerging jdk-bin:9, but I think I can solve that one.

Below is what emerge outputs when I try to update:

Please try the 'magic wand' parameter:

Unfortuantely, the magic wand did not work this time. I got exactly the same message from emerge. Higher values for the backtrack value did no solve it either.

It looks like the rev numbers are getting out of sequence between two devs.
I would imagine this would confuse portage.

I blocked dev-qt/*-5.9 (I forget the exact syntax, I'll look it up if you need it)
I don't develop with qt. It's only needed by lumina (I think?). I don't use kde and everything is working fine with 5.7 so why beat my head in trying to figure out what they fscked up?

Qt-5.9 is fine. You should check out another thing going on there:

Tony0945, I see what you mean about the rev numbers. If by blocked, do you mean mask? I already have 5.9.4-r2 installed. I have a feeling there is some solution that will be able to use the most up to date code. I used to have 4.8 installed, and I still got this message. I tried 5.7 and I got the same errors about qt, so I don't think that masking it is going to change the conflict.

asturm, it is strange that it gave me that error because I did emerge-webrsync before trying to update. I just installed dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin-9.0.4-r2 and it still gives me the error related to the jdk when I try to update!

The only explanation for this is that portage is cancelling dep calculation before it found oracle-jdk-bin:9, but for some reason there is no message about that. Did you actually paste the whole portage output you got? Actually this output looks like the result of an update that failed in between Qt, Applications and Plasma updates. Do you know what package failed?

Check if `emerge -avu1 $(qlist -CI dev-qt/*)` makes a difference and if not, try with -D in addition.

Ignore the remark about 'blocking' Qt-5.9, it makes no sense.

emerge -avu1 $(qlist -CI dev-qt/*) installed dev-qt/qttranslations-5.9.4, but this did not change the message generated by emerge -avuUD @world

I followed your recommendation of throwing in the -D flag, and it finds a lot of blocked packages that are related to x11. The output can be found here

I looked in my package.mask, and I don't have anything for x11-proto. I am using the default/linux/amd64/17.0/desktop/plasma (stable) profile.

fedeliallalinea, thanks for the link. Nvidia is slow to update to the latest versions of things. I tried masking >=x11-base/xorg-server-1.19.99, but it doesn't solve all of the problems with blocked packages. Is it really a good idea to just mask all the packages that are blocked like they imply?

Depending on nvidia-drivers can be painful if you want to update your system in the wrong moment.

Glad you got qt-5.9 installed.

Now try "emerge -p --depclean" Don't forget the -p. You want to see what depclean would remove before doing it. It might want to clean up your x11-proto stuff. Also run "grep x11-proto /var/lib/portage/world to see if you inadvertently emerge something without a -1.

So, I (think I) have the same issue. I have had particular gentoo installation since forever, so I suppose this might be related to some old stuff still around. (?)

I have done a depclean, and tried different random solution suggested here and there... But I can not get past this.

I tried to put the full emerge log, but maybe it is too long for the forum, because it gets truncated when I submit.

The short version;

fedeliallalinea · Posted: Fri Apr 20, 2018 3:52 pm Post subject:

In your case problem is dev-qt/qtwebkit:4 (no longer in portage tree) that require dev-libs/icu:0/58.2, but others package like net-libs/nodejs-9.10.1 needs >=dev-libs/icu-60.1

Incredible, I really did not see how that that stopped everything, but now emerge is running just fine, it seams.

Thank you very much!
