emerge --update fails [solved]

[publius]

I emerge sync'd and upon emerge -p --update --deep system I get:

Code: Select all

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

Calculating system dependencies -
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "sys-apps/coreutils" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-apps/coreutils-5.0-r6 (masked by: missing keyword)
- sys-apps/coreutils-5.2.0-r2 (masked by: missing keyword)

- sys-apps/coreutils-5.2.1 (masked by: missing keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or 
section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook.
!!!    (dependency required by "sys-apps/debianutils-1.16.7-r4" [ebuild])


!!! Problem with ebuild sys-apps/debianutils-1.16.7-r4
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.

!!! Depgraph creation failed.

I've tried a few different keywords and it always has trouble with coreutils. Any suggestions?

Code: Select all

mkdir /etc/portage
ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-macos-10.3 profile

(if you use tiger.. symlink with default-macos-10.4 , and if 10.2..? symlink with default-macos )

Thanks! I got it working.

My symlink was pointing some place weird. And it needs to link from make.profile, not profile.
