but I offer another way, run the livecd, mount the distro, chroot to it and remove sys-apps/util-linux.
update sys-apps/sysvinit which in turn should pull latest non svn sys-apps/util-linux in.
next, run revdep-rebuild, when it is done, reboot.

this should work and most probably won't break the OP's system.
I try your method and it works well. The only thing is that updating sysvinit doesn't put util-linux. You have to re-emerge util-linux after update of sysvinit. Nothing to notice concerning libs given by those packages in revdep-rebuild.

Thank a lot for your help.
strange, sys-apps/sysvinit depends on sys-apps/util-linux and should pull it in, nevermind, glad it worked for you, please mark this as solved.

Being not the author of the topic, I think I can't do that.

Also helped me. Marking solved.

Just a note to add that the method can be applied on a running system for those with servers and no access to datacenter.

This gave me a headache!

What worked for me was remove " util-linux ~x86 " from package.keywords and I had another one in package.accept_keywords
Thanks.

Actually; simplest solution that worked for me is to emerge both these packages at once:

Code: Select all

 sudo emerge --update sys-apps/sysvinit sys-apps/util-linux

No conflict; no package masks, no reboot required.
This should also work on other similar cyclic blocks.
Easy

I can confirm this. It worked for me exactly that way. Thanks for pointing that out

thank you very much!

This saved me a lot of time after 1-2 days experiments how to fix this on a few different gentoo servers ....

Confirmed. Thanks for the quick fix since there still seems to be an issue in portage with this combo of updates.

Confirmed here also. Thank god for that.

Confirmed... after few days of trouble ... tnx!

I had this issue with my system and was looking all over the gentoo forums for a solution until I stumbled upon this, merged both packages at the same time and it worked flawlessly! Thanks much!

I've tried "emerge --update sys-apps/sysvinit sys-apps/util-linux" but it didn't change anything. I've also tried booting into a Live CD and unmerging the packages and re-merging them but that didn't work either.

Here is the output of my emerge:

Code: Select all

Use --autounmask-write to write changes to config files (honoring CONFIG_PROTECT).

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I tried the ~x86 emerge idea but that had no effect on my emerge --update world.

arcwick08 · Post by **arcwick08** » Tue Jan 24, 2012 2:32 pm

I had the same issue when doing an emerge -v system on a fresh build. Yes, running ~x86 system-wide.
My solution;

Fetch sources for both packages:

Code: Select all

emerge -f sysvinit util-linux

Pull sysvinit

Code: Select all

emerge -C sysvinit

update util-linux;

Code: Select all

emerge -v util-linux

remerge sysvinit;

Code: Select all

emerge -v sysvinit

Might not work for all, but did for me.

After I do emerge -v util-linux it says:

Code: Select all

The following keyword changes are necessary to proceed:
#required by util-linux (argument)
=sys-apps/util-linux-2.20.1-r1 ~x86

Surely I don't have to run an unstable system to get this working?

arcwick08 · Post by **arcwick08** » Sun Jan 29, 2012 11:36 pm

Something else you have merged must be requiring a version of util-linux still marked unstable... any system packages manually unmasked?

mcclung · Post by **mcclung** » Tue Jan 31, 2012 4:04 pm

In my case, the update of dracut from =sys-kernel/dracut-014-r1 to =sys-kernel/dracut-014-r2 seems to be the problem. So I'm going back (downgrading) to =sys-kernel/dracut-013-r2. Unfortunately for me, I have a feeling the 014 fixed a problem for me, but I can not remember what it was, and I didn't make any notes for myself on why I unmasked it.
I guess I'll find out next time I make an initial ram disk without genkernel.

dave_deu · Post by **dave_deu** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 9:22 pm

Ah okay, I've removed pam_mount from /etc/portage/package.keywords and things seem to be moving along a bit, however I still have 200 packages to emerge and it fails to emerge the stable version of pam_mount because of a bug in it! (It's this one in case anyone cares: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=652762)

I've masked that version now and am trying another update.

Thanks.

jagland · Post by **jagland** » Fri Feb 17, 2012 2:54 pm

I was trying to install a bunch of packages on a new install (but based on the world file from another box) this included dracut-016.

It asked me to add the following entries to package.keywords

The following keyword changes are necessary to proceed:
#required by sys-kernel/dracut-016, required by dracut (argument)
=sys-apps/util-linux-2.20.1-r2 ~amd64
#required by dracut (argument)
=sys-kernel/dracut-016 ~amd64

However, trying to emerge dracut I got the following;

sys-apps/sysvinit-2.88-r3" is blocking sys-apps/util-linux-2.20.1-r2

Anyway adding the following to package.keywords fixed it for me;

=sys-apps/sysvinit-2.88-r3 ~amd64

dave_deu · Post by **dave_deu** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 1:28 pm

That's good to know. Shame sysvinit has to installed as unstable. I'm currently stuck with a repeatedly failing emerge of pam_mount but that's another story...

Sharp_Rulez · Post by **Sharp_Rulez** » Tue Feb 21, 2012 6:43 pm

Just FYI:

got the same problem on a fresh gentoo install (while doing an emerge system) . Did the following:
emerge --nodeps =sys-apps/sysvinit-2.88-r3
followed by
emerge --nodeps =sys-apps/util-linux-2.20.1-r2

then my emerge system went through

jserink · Post by **jserink** » Wed Feb 22, 2012 1:04 am

Hey Sharp_Rulz:

Followed your advice:
emerge --nodeps =sys-apps/sysvinit-2.88-r3
followed by
emerge --nodeps =sys-apps/util-linux-2.20.1-r1

but kept my util-linux to 2.20.1-r1 which is unmasked in the tree and it all worked!

Thanx for that.

Cheers,
john

worked for me. Thanks for the fix.
