|
|
When I do a
I get the following reply:
Code: | eagle bin # emerge -u -p world
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating world dependencies |
emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy ">=dev-libs/lxml2-2.4".
eagle bin # |
Which tells me that something is wrong... However I do not know what this is, and I also do not know who is referring to this dependency.
In other words: I am lost.
I would appreciate any help getting rid of the problem, which blocks any further activity... |

This kind of things come and go. They usually show up after one sync and disappear if you wait some time and sync again. |

I presume there is a way to get rid of the problem, however I do not know how... I have been looking at the options of the emerge command, and I also have been 'playing' with qpkg. To no avail however. |

Sometimes the portage dependency cache gets fubar'd and this could be the cause of your problems.
To clear the cache:
Code: | rm -r /var/cache/edb/dep/* |
Then sync to make sure you have the latest tree and try your world update again:
Code: | emerge sync
emerge world -up |

I too had this exact same problem, I kept rsync'ing and it still wouldn't go away.
It wasn't until I did a 'emerge-webrsync' then all my troubles went away.
(note there is no space around the dash)
gl hope it werks for you

Great; the suggestion of CaptnJazz solved the issue.
Apparently I missed the information on the emerge-webrsync command. Where could I have found that ?
Thanks very much !
