Hey guys, libevent got upgraded yesterday and downgraded again today. Now I get this message after every emerge, any fix?:

Code: Select all

Same here.

[UPDATED]

The issue seems to be an nfs-utils-1.3.1-r1 ebuild dependency. It's looking for <=dev-libs/libevent-2.1, and only 2.0.22 and 2.1.5 now exist in the tree.

I see. But I couldn't find anything related in Bugzilla yet.
Let's just hope this will solve itself within the next few days.

New nfs-utils-1.3.2-r1 finally fixed the issue for me.

Problem is still here in 2017, slightly different. The stable nfs-utils-1.3.1-r5 still wants <=libevent2.1, and some time recently libevent 2.0.x was removed from the tree. For today I'm adding a keyword for nfs-utils-1.3.4 to work around. It's basically the dame thing that was done two years ago.

How is such a mess possible?

Unmask nfs-utils-1.3.4 and problem is solved.

Moved from Portage & Programming to Duplicate Threads.

Searching for 'libevent' in Portage & Programming brings up the other thread, so other users should be able to find it.
