 Posted: Wed Oct 30, 2019 6:57 pm Post subject: xorg-server slot conflict [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Ok, I can usually figure these things out myself, but I'm stuck this time.
I'm a regular gentoo user, but lazy admin - typically only updating things once or twice a year.
In the past, I've had trouble because I wasn't use "-1" enough when emerging, resulting in a cluttered world file. I've cleaned this up (I think).
Anyway, I recently sync'd, and am having trouble doing a world update. Debugging it seems xorg-server is my problem child.
So, just trying that:
| Code: | sudo emerge -av1u --verbose-conflicts --backtrack=100 x11-base/xorg-server
[ebuild U ] x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.5:0/1.20.5::gentoo [1.20.3:0/1.20.3::gentoo] USE="glamor ipv6 suid udev xorg xvfb -debug -dmx -doc -elogind% -kdrive (-libglvnd) -libressl -minimal (-selinux) -static-libs -systemd -unwind -wayland -xcsecurity -xephyr -xnest" 5,984 KiB
Total: 1 package (1 upgrade), Size of downloads: 5,984 KiB
!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:
x11-base/xorg-server:0
(x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.5:0/1.20.5::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
x11-base/xorg-server (Argument)
(x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.3:0/1.20.3::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
x11-base/xorg-server:0/1.20.3= required by (x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.10.6:0/0::gentoo, installed)
^^^^^^^^^^
x11-base/xorg-server:0/1.20.3= required by (x11-drivers/xf86-input-void-1.4.1:0/0::gentoo, installed)
^^^^^^^^^^
x11-base/xorg-server:0/1.20.3= required by (x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau-1.0.15-r1:0/0::gentoo, installed)
^^^^^^^^^^
!!! The slot conflict(s) shown above involve package(s) which may need to
!!! be rebuilt in order to solve the conflict(s). However, the following
!!! package(s) cannot be rebuilt for the reason(s) shown:
(x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau-1.0.15-r1:0/0::gentoo, installed): ebuild is masked or unavailable
|
A couple of things going on there. I don't understand the slot conflict, nor why it's occurring. However the latter problem is weird. Checking both my local repo, and gentoo, I have:
xf86-video-nouveau-1.0.16.ebuild
As the only ebuild available I can't figure out who/what is trying to pull in =x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau-1.0.15-r1 (which isn't available)
A few pastebins:
emerge --info : https://pastebin.com/QEwbtyk6
make.conf :https://pastebin.com/J14zA74r
world: https://pastebin.com/JurbX9sx
Any help appreciated.

I think the problem is that gtwrek try to update only x11-base/xorg-server without dependencies.

If you use --update (-u) the --oneshot (-1) isn't required. -1 is required when you try to rebuild a package that is a dependency and should not be writed in the world file.

After a long list up updates (snipped), a similar error message:
| Code: | x11-base/xorg-server:0
(x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.5:0/1.20.5::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
(no parents that aren't satisfied by other packages in this slot)
(x11-base/xorg-server-1.20.3:0/1.20.3::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
x11-base/xorg-server:0/1.20.3= required by (x11-drivers/xf86-input-void-1.4.1:0/0::gentoo, installed)
^^^^^^^^^^
(and 1 more with the same problem)
NOTE: Use the '--verbose-conflicts' option to display parents omitted above
!!! The slot conflict(s) shown above involve package(s) which may need to

!!! package(s) cannot be rebuilt for the reason(s) shown:

And work if you try to update these packages individually (emerge -1 xorg-server xf86-input-evdev xf86-input-void xf86-video-nouveau)?

Ok, that got me closer. I explicty pegged all but the xorg-server version:
| Code: | | sudo emerge -av1 xorg-server =x11-drivers/xf86-input-void-1.4.1 =x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.10.6 =x11-drivers/xf86-video-nouveau-1.0.16 |
Got a successful emerge with that. Weird, the (lack of) "-u" seems to make a difference here that I don't understand.
My world is still failing. Similar errors now on different ebuilds. I'll see if I can apply the same type of solution here. I may return here with more questions...
Thanks,
Mark |

Hope you see this. I've discovered this way of solving slot conflicts myself and it is the only one that works for me. I am surprised the mods here and people maintaining Gentoo pages haven't put this as a solution for slot conflicts. |

Because "slot conflicts" are often the result of other issues and those huge areas of text are totally useless debug fluff in 80% of cases. The other 20% of the time is often other unresolvable issues such as a removed package or USE flag.
tl;dr: There is isn't one solution for all "slot conflicts" |
