|
|
Hi,
Today, I wanted to emerge Lokalize.
Emerge failed because the distfiles were not uncompressed. The problem occured for kde-base/krosspython-4.9.5, kde-base/kdesdk-strigi-analyzer-4.9.5 and lokalize.
Code: | Tar command failed at least partially - continuing anyway |
After updating tar (from 1.20 installed in 2008), emerge succeeds. _________________ With Gentoo since 2002... |

how well do you maintain you system? how (and how often) do you update?
the oldest version of tar available in portage is 1.23-r2, and that version supports xz compression.

I update only what is needed: security issue by GLSA and update to get the last programs for allday uses.
It seems that a newer version of tar never was a dependency. _________________ With Gentoo since 2002... |

Wow. OK. We should make it a dependency somewhere.
As a side note, I'm not so sure this is the ideal update strategy. Also, you'll get a lot of bug reports closed as obsolete... |

I'm interested by any update strategy experience. Feel free to tell me more. _________________ With Gentoo since 2002... |

Start with emerge --update --deep --verbose --ask --newuse --with-bdeps=y @world. |

I know, but it never works. There is always conflicts (eg. qt blocks itself, libreoffice-l10n blocks libreoffice-bin, ...).
I do not tell about all side effects on Xorg and udev which needs to know (tits read eselect news).
To use such force method, I must tweak a lot in package.mask, remove all qt packages, ...
How do you succeed? _________________ With Gentoo since 2002... |

by starting to post error messages.
the qt part can be resolved easily: emerge -a1O $(qlist -IC x11-libs/qt-)
and if you keep your upgrade procedure (emerge -aDu world) to weekly to monthly basis, a lot less will break.

Thanks for the trick about Qt and your interest for my post. _________________ With Gentoo since 2002... |
