Beat you to it! Here's the new link. I thought about that from my experience using dialog in shell scripts.

Hmm. That wasn't as informative as I'd hoped. Could you install just gentoolkit and then report the output of

Code: Select all

equery depends virtual/perl-Module-Metadata-1.0.19

please? (You can use wgetpaste again, if you like.)

There is nothing to paste. It says "These packages depend on virtual/perl-Module-Metadata-1.019:" and returns. Nothing depends on it.

Hmm again. Let's try some piecemeal updates:

Code: Select all

eselect profile set 1
emerge --update @system

OpenRC blocks it now. Here is the output.

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Okay, this is a known issue with the Portage dependency resolver right now. It should be able to solve this block but it doesn't right now. Run

Code: Select all

emerge --oneshot openrc
emerge --update @system

I know I am going to give you a heart-attack, but that doesn't work either.

Also, i grabbed the stage3 from the link below if you want to know where I got it from.

Post by **John R. Graham** » Thu Feb 12, 2015 4:32 pm

Ugh. The above was wrong. I meant to ask for

Code: Select all

emerge -1 udev-init-scripts

If this fails, add the --nodeps option and run again. If successful, try the @system update again.

Which one of those? I think that's what I used last weekend, though.

The_Great_Sephiroth · Post by **The_Great_Sephiroth** » Thu Feb 12, 2015 4:35 pm

I had to add "--nodeps", but it worked. I then ran the command mentioned above to update the system and it is now updating. I will post back once it finishes. In the meantime, what has happened to make this mess of dependency-hell? I am assuming portage got an update and a few packages have issues with it.

Post by **John R. Graham** » Thu Feb 12, 2015 4:36 pm

We don't have a diagnosis yet, but some subtle issue with the Portage tree is likely (in addition to the aforementioned issues with the dependency resolver).

- John

The_Great_Sephiroth · Post by **The_Great_Sephiroth** » Thu Feb 12, 2015 4:39 pm

Alright, fair enough. I used the stage3-amd64-20141204.tar.gz file.

The_Great_Sephiroth · Post by **The_Great_Sephiroth** » Thu Feb 12, 2015 4:44 pm

Done! The system update completed.

Post by **John R. Graham** » Thu Feb 12, 2015 4:45 pm

Expand to the rest of the potentially out-of-date @system set dependencies:

Code: Select all

emerge --update -deep --changed-use @system

- John

The_Great_Sephiroth · Post by **The_Great_Sephiroth** » Thu Feb 12, 2015 5:08 pm

That appears to work, but it wants to pull in all kinds of junk I do not want. I ran with "-a" also and told it not to update. I then selected the KDE profile and ran the same command. It did not report any blocks or errors. I then tried it with @world and it appeared to be OK also. Should I now proceed with my install as normal?

Unfortunately, all of that junk is part of the @system set (or its dependencies), so you've already got it (or, at least, already depend on it to build).

The_Great_Sephiroth wrote:Should I now proceed with my install as normal?

Yep.

Edit: Well, one proviso. I still think you should do the @world update before proceeding with the install. It won't really waste much time, if any. It's always better to install new software on an up-to-date Gentoo box.

The_Great_Sephiroth · Fri Feb 13, 2015 12:32 am

Well the @system update was over 1GB of downloads with the normal/default profile set. With KDE it was monstrous. This is why I install in a specific order. I will share my bash script tomorrow, but needless to say, I do NOT install everything KDE has to offer as I do not need it.

Oh, and the @system update has almost entirely new packages. Only a few rebuilds/upgrades.

Post by **John R. Graham** » Fri Feb 13, 2015 1:13 am

It wouldn't've been had you done the @system update before changing the profile. All those extra USE flags bring in optional dependencies. Regarding KDE, you know about kdebase-meta, right?

-John

The_Great_Sephiroth · Post by **The_Great_Sephiroth** » Fri Feb 13, 2015 3:25 pm

Yeah, I use startkde and then pick exactly what I want. Here's my package list, as promised.

Code: Select all

Live CD Phase:
gentoo-sources linux-firmware
genkernel sys-boot/grub
syslog-ng cronie logrotate

Services to add:
syslog-ng - default
cronie - default
sshd - default



Once in the system:
gentoolkit <pcmciautils (only for laptops with PCMCIA)> pciutils usbutils app-misc/screen ntp sudo ftp openssh-blacklist dosfstools ntfs3g fuse-exfat exfat-utils ppp

libreoffice

codeblocks virtualbox

cpupower - boot
ntp-client - default
consolekit - default
lm_sensors - default (run sensors-detect first)
cupsd -default

This works great for us and seems to be stable and fast. Note that Code::Blocks and VirtualBox are only installed on specific systems.
