Hi,

Going from 0.3.0-r1, i get the following problem when trying to update to openrc-0.4.1:

Code:

# emerge -puDv world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating world dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N    ] sys-apps/sysvinit-2.86-r10  USE="(-ibm) (-selinux) -static" 0 kB
[ebuild  N    ] sys-fs/udev-124-r1  USE="(-selinux)" 0 kB
[ebuild     U ] sys-apps/openrc-0.4.1 [0.3.0-r1] USE="ncurses pam unicode -debug" 142 kB
[blocks B     ] <sys-fs/udev-133 (is blocking sys-apps/openrc-0.4.1)
[blocks B     ] <sys-apps/sysvinit-2.86-r11 (is blocking sys-apps/openrc-0.4.1)

Total: 3 packages (1 upgrade, 2 new, 2 blocks), Size of downloads: 142 kB



I put sysvinit and udev in package.provided, though portage still tries to pull in udev-124, but then there are no more blockers.


Anyone else upgraded from 0.3.0-r1 to 0.4.x ? What did you have to do?

(Solution was to update udev and sysvinit versions)

That is the worst way to resolve blocks. There is probably a reason why portage requires higher versions of those packages.

Seriously, you need to read about masked and hardmasked packages:

This is resolved.

A package was pulling in udev-133, once that was downgraded, everything else worked. Not sure which package pulled in udev-133 though.

I am aware of the risks of hard masked packages, but I need to run openrc to mount an encrypted volume at boot.

Seriously, if you don't want to screw your system one day, read about masked and hardmasked packages as suggested. And learn to read what portage tries to tell you.

The right thing to do in your case: Quite simple, portage tells you everything you need. Which would have been:

~sys-fs/udev-133
=sys-apps/sysvinit-2.86-r12

or better, since minor releases tend to rather fix more things than break them:
~sys-fs/udev-135
~sys-apps/sysvinit-2.86

...simply to be put into /etc/portage/package.keywords.

From the output I've seen, I think you are still using portage-2.1.x. portage-2.2* already solves a lot of blocks on its own where possible, or gives at least more unmistakable output, so I'd recommend upgrading to 2.2*. Latest version is _rc20, and hardmasked only to give 2.1.x some more testing, but it is actually safe to be used and would be ~ under normal circumstances.

2.1.6 also removes blocks (b ones) by itself. At least the manpage claims so.
