hal and linux-headers

lawa42 · Posted: Wed May 04, 2005 11:08 am Post subject: hal and linux-headers

Hi!

For some reason I can't emerge hal

Thats what I get from emerge:

g4634m ~ # emerge -puDv hal

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies \
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.8.1-r2 (masked by: profile)
- sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.8.1-r4 (masked by: profile)
- sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.6.11 (masked by: profile)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook.
!!! (dependency required by "sys-apps/hal-0.4.5-r2" [ebuild])

So I looked for my version of linux-headers and tried to upgrade

g4634m ~ # emerge -puDv linux-headers

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild UD] sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.22-r1 [2.6.8.1-r2] -build 28,836 kB

Total size of downloads: 28,836 kB

For some reason linux-headers should be downgraded and I actually have a version required by hal (2.6.8.1-r2)

I have this line in package.keywords:

sys-kernel/linux-headers ~x86

Any ideas? How can I "unmask" packages masked by profile?

What does /etc/make.profile symlink to -- i.e. what does file /etc/make.profile say?

I guess that there should be an 2.6 dir in make.profile but I don'tknow how to get it

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 49 Apr 8 10:18 make.profile -> ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/

newton ~ # ls -l /etc/make.profile/
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 21 23:08 2.4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 679 Mar 29 00:35 packages
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 343 Dec 3 15:37 parent

No I didn't even create that one. I just have a package.keywords file

Have you run emerge sync lately? .. If not, try that.

Yes more than once. I have to update package by package instead of doing emerge -puDv world.

I come across this forum thread. It seems to be the same problem you are having, yet from what I read it looks like you have done everything that thread says to do. You might give it a look over anyways though.
