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

Moved from Portage & Programming to Duplicate Threads.
See threads cited, plus device-mapper blocks udev, but needed for cryptsetup.
