How to install app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs

Message

Kordian · Post by **Kordian** » Mon Mar 13, 2017 2:04 pm

I try emerge and the result is:

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "=app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs-20140406-r1".

Would be grateful for any help!

The emul-* packages was removed about 2 years ago. They were replaced by compiling the applicable packages for 32bit support in addition to the normal 64bit.

If you are updating an system that old, it will be much easier for you to just reinstall (Gentoo is not a forgiving distro when not updating on a regular basis).

Yes, it is an old system. Basically I am trying to install php 5.6 on it and sys-devel/gettext-0.18.1.1-r3 blocks it. Gettext-0.19.7 installation is blocked by both sys-apps/sandbox-2.6-r1 and app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs. Any reasonable way to solve it? I am far from being an expert on that.
Thanks in advance.

Managed to install Sandbox. So only the emul is in the way (theoretically)...

Something on your system is requiring =app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs-20140406-r1. To identify that package, we would need the entire emerge output.

NOTE: Use the '--verbose-conflicts' option to display parents omitted above

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously.  If such a conflict exists in
the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
not be installed simultaneously. You may want to try a larger value of
the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if
that will solve this conflict automatically.

page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

And? No ideas, no hope for me?

ct85711 · Post by **ct85711** » Tue Mar 14, 2017 3:30 pm

Here's the thing, you are going have to decide on what you want to do. Right now you system is seriously out of date. Considering Gentoo is not forgiving on having a system out of date, means you are going to have a lot of trouble.

Now the easiest way to bring your system up to date is reinstall or you have the option of doing the long drawn out battle of slowly updating your system back up. Now if you want to try updating your system, it is going to take a lot of time and you will have to fight for each step you take. We'll help you as we can, but it depends on you on doing the heavy work.

Now if you really want to stay at the place you are now, we are limited of what we can do. Quite frankly, there may be only a few people that have an old machine to help work you through on getting php to install. However, you may run into issues of the files not being available anymore. A good example is the emul-* is long dead and we've moved on. This means you will have to hunt for the applicable files from someone else and hope they are good. Trying to install a newer version of a package on a old system is almost a futile thing, as you have to make sure each any every dependency (cascading through all of them) needs to be satisfied. Either way on that, you will have to troubleshoot any issues you get, as we won't be too much help beyond helping you figure out what the error is.

The last choice for completeness, is you try installing the packages outside of portage. This IS NOT RECOMMENDED and you pick up all the pieces. We will be of little or no help going this route and most of what we can do is say good luck.

So the choice is yours on what you want to do.

Kordian · Post by **Kordian** » Tue Mar 14, 2017 6:01 pm

Thank you for the answer.
I was hoping that maybe I am one/two steps from installing the php, but from what you write I am wrong. I would be happy to have the option of multiple php versions and I do not intend to upgrade the whole system as such.
If installing the 5.6 version of php is as complicated in my situation as you suggest, I will make a new installation as I have a test server ready.
But if I am close to the php 5.6, than I would give it a try.

If you switch away from grub (by e.g. upgrade to grub:2) you could likely remove all the app-emulation/emul-linux-* packages. But that's only about your gettext upgrade, we don't know how many other blockers there are for your whole (php) upgrade.

That's more trouble than it's worth and likely to leave him with an unbootable system. Better to install a recent stage3 and portage snapshot.

Post by **asturm** » Tue Mar 14, 2017 7:03 pm

...but that's the same risk for anyone else who made the switch from grub:0 to :2. But this is moot as long as we only see the tiny bit of blockers by gettext. There's likely a lot more to see for the php upgrade.

Tony0945 · Post by **Tony0945** » Tue Mar 14, 2017 8:15 pm

Asturm? Are you recommending that he wipe the disk?

Post by **NeddySeagoon** » Tue Mar 14, 2017 8:28 pm

The boot loader is like firmware. Once its installed there is rarely any need to update.
Those app-emulation/emul-linux packages may be build time deps but they are not run time deps, so grub could be masked at the current version.

As asturm says, they, are only the tip of the iceberg.
