 Posted: Mon Apr 15, 2013 9:53 am Post subject: [Solved]Problem with emerge blocking |
 |
|
My system was a little bit old which was installed last year without any updates. And currently I wanna update all packages and bring up a gui. But when I emerge --update world, I was told that sys-apps/man-pages and sys-libs/glibc is blocking the libiconv. Since I don't know any portage mechanics I unmerged libiconv and it is removed from my computer. But when I emerge --update again the blocking message still pop up. So what shall I do? Thanks beforehand.
The message goes like following
| Code: |
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] dev-libs/libiconv-1.14
[ebuild B ] sys-apps/man-pages ("sys-apps/man-pages" is blocking dev-libs/libiconv-1.14)
[ebuild B ] sys-libs/glibc ("sys-libs/glibc" is blocking dev-libs/libiconv-1.14)
* Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be

Because your glibc is just too old, it block that update.
It's easy to kept an old gentoo running, but it's than harder to update it.
If you think you can handle to update it, first step would stop asking portage to do everything for you, it just can't.
Reducing the causes of blocking will higher your chance of success. So first step is emerge -u system (yes no deep or anything, and yes certainly not world !)
If this fail you will have to go with even smaller steps (updating only the toolchain, portage... needed tools).
So it's not hard, but if your knowledge is limited to emerge world, it will take you times, but you will learn.
If you don't wish that, you better download a livecd and install a fresher system. |

| This looks like a bit more than a case of an old system - glibc setup shouldn't pull libiconv. |

the virtual/glibc need a glibc-2.2, pam need glibc-2.7...
Maybe not libiconv, but the too old glibc will stuck him until fix (so toolchain need to be fix before going futher). |

the dev-libs/libiconv has the following depends:
| Quote: | DEPEND="!sys-libs/glibc
!sys-apps/man-pages" |
I don't really see why you would need dev-libs/libiconv ?
On my system I only have a virtual/libiconv and no dev-libs/libiconv.
So may be you should start by finding who is pulling dev-libs/libiconv.
Show output of : " equery d dev-libs/libiconv"
(nb you need app-portage/portage-utils for equery).
Regards,

This is not a good idea without --deep and --newuse on old System,
better use | Code: | | emerge --update --deep --newuse @world |
or shortly | Code: | | emerge -avuDN @world |

| Well Thanks for you all guys. The problem was caused by the eselect profile that was set to something like hardened linux. I don't know why cuz I didn't even see this option when I installed system. By the way can anyone explain what's the propose of these hardened linux profile? Thanks once more for your answers! |
