Posted: Tue Nov 24, 2009 2:50 pm Post subject: sys-fs/device-mapper" is blocking sys-fs/udev-146-r1 |
|
|
Hi
Can anyone advise me on the best way over the following 'blocked packages' problem.
This results in a broken system (which I have had to re-install) and me being unable to boot as udev is not recognised.
I have read extensivly on this and I have so far been unable to find a solution. I was directed to https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-801954.html
but still not resolved.

That thread explains in completely - you need to replace device-mapper
with lvm2. |

Thanks for that, there have been quite a few additions to this link since I was last there but it still seems that there is no certain fix. I have already had to re-install my system twice because of this bug and really do not want to have to do it again. So I am going to wait until there is a patch that is guaranteed to work.

Oh, no need to completely reinstall. That is way overkill. All you need to do is unmerge device-mapper and re-emerge lvm2 Code: | emerge -C sys-fs/device-mapper
emerge world -uDN |
or Code: | emerge -C sys-fs/device-mapper
emerge -1 emerge lvm2 |
If you use crypt there may be another issue. If so please repost. |

I unmerged device-mapper to get udev to emerge. Now I get an error booting up. dmcrypt is giving me an error message complaining about the lack of device-mapper. I'm not sure why I need dmcrypt. |

I am using encfs.
I had previously carried out what you have suggested but ended up with an unbootable system.

Oh, I see. Sorry I don't know encfs. Don't know what would make a difference.
There is another thread and another one here relating to this and crypt |
