revdep-rebuild for GCC5...how it works?

[LukynZ]

revdep-rebuild --library 'libstdc++.so.6' -- --exclude gcc

Found 373 packages for rebuild. After 123 rebuilt packages emerge stopped due to missing ebuild in my local overlay.

Next revdep-rebuild found again 373 packages to rebuild, that means 123 I've previously rebuilt is ignored.

Is it normal behavior for this function? It just shows all needed packages for rebuild without check if they have been already rebuilt with new ABI...

[dol-sen]

add the -i option to ignore the caches and do a fresh search.

[jburns]

The fresh search will come up with the same files because when the packages are rebuilt they still link with libstdc++.so.6. The way I did it was to save the list of files that were being rebuilt so that I could do the rebuilds in sections and remove the packages that were rebuilt.

Code: Select all

emerge --resume

is your friend.

Code: Select all

emerge --resume

is your friend.

Yes I know, but first I've unmerged this not needed package and some others..

I didn't realize it start all again

Anyway now everything is rebuilded and working fine

Thanks for answers

So maybe

Code: Select all

emerge --resume --skipfirst

then?

Did you find a solution to this? I'm having the same problem (except with 542 packages that keep being rebuilt). I tried the emerge --resume --skipfirst as shown below but it didn't work:

emerge --resume --skipfirst
!!! Repository 'x-portage' is missing masters attribute in '/usr/local/portage/metadata/layout.conf'
!!! Set 'masters = gentoo' in this file for future compatibility

* IMPORTANT: 3 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
* Use eselect news read to view new items.

* One or more packages are either masked or have missing dependencies:
*
* >=dev-libs/icu-4.8.1.1:0/58.1= pulled in by:
* (app-misc/tracker-1.8.0:0/100::gentoo, installed)
*
* >=app-text/poppler-0.16:0/65=[cairo,utils] pulled in by:

*
* >=media-libs/libass-0.9.10:0/5= pulled in by:
* (media-video/mplayer-1.3.0:0/0::gentoo, installed)
*
* The resume list contains packages that are either masked or have
* unsatisfied dependencies. Please restart/continue the operation
* manually, or use --skipfirst to skip the first package in the list and
* any other packages that may be masked or have missing dependencies.

emerge: It seems we have nothing to resume...

I'm re-running revdep-rebuild now but it's starting all over again.
