Posted: Fri Oct 22, 2004 7:13 pm Post subject: What to do with blocking packages?[SOLVED]

Today I was recommended to upgrade portage, well doesn't matter when you run emerge -uDav world you'l get it anyway.
Well now I don't think that was so smart. I got this result:

Code:

root@Jupiter larand # emerge -uDav world
--- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.keywords: >=x11-base/opengl
PORTAGE_GPG_DIR is invalid. Removing gpg from FEATURES.
PORTAGE_GPG_DIR is invalid. Removing gpg from FEATURES.

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

How do I proceed? In the sticky they recommended to run:

Code:

emerge -uDpv world

to find the blockers. But that's what I always do. They also told that to do what you like with them. I want the kernel, at least the latest one and sendmail. But I want to get rid of the blocking.

I have asked this question some time ago but forgot what I could do and I don't find my thread.

Any one that can give me some help again. This time I will write it down.

Hmm, I was wrong the recommendation in the sticky had some more than I said, this is how it looks like when I follow the recommendation:

Just unmerge linux-headers and either ssmtp or senmail. That should fix it. You may also want to add the following entires into /etc/portage/profile/virtuals

Code:

virtual/kernel sys-kernel/linux26-headers sys-kernel/development-sources
virtual/os-headers sys-kernel/linux26-headers
virtual/linux-sources sys-kernel/development-sources

This will ensure that all programs will recognise the new linux headers and your kernel sources as being valid headers and sources packages.

linux-headers are for kernel 2.4, so unmerge them (and merge linux26-headers afterwards, of course). If you want sendmail, there's no need for the separate ssmtp, so unmerge it.

Hmm I unmerge all of them but the linuxheader persists to emerge when
running:

Use "emerge -t" to see tree of dependencies and see what is trying to emerge linux-header...

Otherwise, if you were using old profile like 1.4, and switch to kernel 2.6 later, your virtuals may ask for linux-headers. Check your "/etc/make.profile/"

Code:

/usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-1.4/virtuals

for example ask for linux-headers. In that case, i am not sure what to do .. you could upgrade profile but that could lead to even more thing to fix .. or you can try to override the virtuals in :

Code:

/etc/portage/profile/virtuals

Sorry, I forgot to mention that you need an entry in /etc/portage/profile which looks a little like this:

Code:

virtual/kernel sys-kernel/linux26-headers sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources
virtual/os-headers sys-kernel/linux26-headers
virtual/linux-sources sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources

Obviously you should replace gentoo-dev-sources with whatever kernel you actually use.

It doesn't show anything that causes the emerge of the header, or does it?

I'll continue tomorrow. Thanks for your help.

What are this good for and what "entry" in /etc/portage/profile/ do you mean?

From the beginning I didnt' had the directory "profile" in /etc/portage so I had to create that and the file "virtuals". That's why I don't know what you mean when you talk about this "entry" in /etc/portage/profile.

I've heard about profiles earlier but this is compleatly new for me so I would be happy if someone could explain in short about it or give a link to some helpful doc.

Sure, I know that, but I still couldn't find it. I'm not one of the most active here but over 130 post was apparently to heavy for me to browse through. I browsed through all messages but couldn't find it.

Well, at the end I'm happy to say that there are lot of helpful people around here.

So the thing was finally solved. I just got interested in portage profile-matter and want some more info about it.
