Problem with ebuilds, possibly cflag mixup

[Joseph Powers]

When I try updateing the system I get a bunch of ebuilds failing.

You can post also your emerge --info?

You can post also your emerge --info?

I edited my post.

This also shows up at the beginning of a emerge. Is my openssl outdated?

You have an out-of-date overlay that contains an ebuild for an outdated openssl. You may or may not have that openssl installed, but the mere presence of that ebuild provokes the warning because the ebuild contains a serious quality control violation. You should disable that overlay.

Thanks, that fixed the message. I have a bigger problem with Xorg crashing every five minutes at the moment. I'll get back to this.

I've haven't read the news item. I don't see it there.
I don't quite understand this. my current profile is

[40]  hardened/linux/amd64 (stable) *

and the other three profiles that seem to be what I want are

Code: Select all

I've found the news item on the forums though so thanks in advance.

Okay, back again. I needed to change some config files in order to update @world (following the instructions for the news item) and I'm having trouble compiling slatex.

I'm getting kind of tired of this.

For ghc the problem is that you disk have less than 2GiB on /usr, probably you have in /usr/portage/distfiles very old sources

What's the solution? manually delete some of them?
Is there a automated tool to delete older sources?

After twelve hours the thing failed to update. Something about cairo and slatex.
as it was updating the other kernel sources changed back to 4.9.76 from 4.16.2. (I'm really pissed right now).
Thanks for the information. I can't update it anymore, I'll post the error message later.
I've deleted some kernel sources in order to get the necessary space.
edit: here is the message.

The eternal error hell, I don't even use pulseaudio, I even have it disabled in my portage make.conf
edit: May 24 2018: I haven't updated this in a while so I'm hoping it will work fine. apparently I'm still having the xorg crashing on me.
