|
|
I've been trying to update world for quite some time now to no avail.
When I type
emerge -up world
or
emerge -up evolution
a mozilla dependency
>=app-crypt/gnupg-1.2.1
fails and claims that all builds to satisfy
>=app-crypt/gnupg-1.2.1
are masked. I have manually and successfully emerged gnupg-1.2.1 as well as gnupg-1.2.1-r1 to no avail and continue to receive the same error regardless of which version happens to be installed. An
emerge -s gnupg
shows that gnupg-1.2.1 is indeed installed.
grep -i gnupg /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask
does not yield any results, so I am unable to explicitly unmask gnupg here by editing the file, as has been suggested to me in the #gentoo irc channel.
So I have a few questions:
1) What may be the cause of the problem?
2) How do I fix it?
AND
3) Why does
emerge -up --deep world
fail instead of continuing and successfully upgrading those packages not affected by the phantom masked gnupg so I can at least have a mostly up-to-date system?
4) Flamebait, but relevant: Why would anyone want to use Gentoo when a package-specific error prevents an upgrade of the rest of your system?
I appreciate any help the list can offer a struggling new Gentoo user; Thank you all in advance for your help. |

Try to comment out the ACCEPT_KEYWORD line in make.conf or pass it as a parameter with
Code: |
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -up your-program
|
(x86 if you have a x86) Anyway, take a look at this section in the make.conf and here.
Regards,
Sébastien. |
