[truc]

Hello there, zxy is not here, and he was asked to make a new paludis support thread when 0.24.2 would be out, so.. here it is!

• ABOUT
  
  This thread is the part 3 of the old Paludis Support thread - Part 2. It has been splitted with the 0.24.1 version of Paludis.
  
  
  This front post will be updated from time to time. The old first post will not.
  
  
  Paludis is a portage alernative.
  
  I created this thread for everybody that has problems with using paludis or has something useful to contribute to others about paludis.
  
  Paludis is different than portage in command line and configs differ, too.
  
  Any help, info, shortcut, howto or a tip is welcome here.

Hello, I have a Problem with my virtuals repository.
Yesterday, I created a rather strict rsync_excludes file, and now I get a warning about all these virtuals that are no longer in my tree:

[jkoerner]

First sync then clean unused and regenerate cache.
A good choice is to read FAQ

btw if you're more comfortable with German, https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-535319-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-0.html

I get this error while trying to update paludis. The version I have is 0.22.2. The error comes from coreutils, a search on the forums comes up with nothing, and a search on google comes up with nothing useful.

While updating my system, CUPS has decided to not merge due to "lib64 detected on x86" I have no clue what it's on about, as I'm on amd64 (my host in paludis/bashrc says so), and therefore I should have a lib64. This is following an ordeal in which I deleted KDE cause of a ton of nonsensical linker errors (More on this after paludis sees that I'm not using x86).
In reality, I'm not even sure if this is paludis's problem, but I assume that keeping track of what architecture I'm using is the package manager's job.
Sorry if I sound like a jerk, I've typed this out 4 or 5 times cause I keep hitting the wrong buttons in lynx, any help is greatly appreciated.

"sudo paludis -pi world"

/me is trying to add local overlay - ebuilds that I get from gentoo bugzilla etc.
I have added mine.conf file and put it into /etc/paludis/repositories/ . Content is:

[zxy]

Profiles should probably point to gentoo's profiles folder, not local ... profiles folder.
You can also try and use

[Ssl]

solved. that was it. thanx zxy!

I needed also to rename file "mine" in /usr/local/portage/profiles" to "repo_name" to avoid warning:

[Devrethman]

I tried to paludis -i world, and it stalled on firefox, giving this error

Packages sys-apps/attr and sys-apps/acl fail with paludis, but emerges fine with portage.

This is with paludis tells me (acl):
