depmod location with "split-usr" flag effects genkernel


I was updating my kernel and genkernel reported:

Code: Select all

*         >> Kernel config was not modified!
/usr/share/genkernel/gen_configkernel.sh: line 445: /sbin/depmod: No such file or directory
* ERROR: depmod does not support ZLIB/GZIP, cannot build with CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_GZIP

depmod was found in /usr/bin/ I think due to an upgrade of kmod with the "split-usr" flag

sys-apps/kmod-32-r1 (/usr/bin/depmod -> kmod)

rollback to "emerge -1 =sys-apps/kmod-31" seemed to fix the issue for the moment:

sys-apps/kmod-31 (/sbin/depmod -> ../bin/kmod)

For the non-working version, what is the output of emerge --pretend --verbose sys-apps/kmod ; emerge --info?

[rufnut]

Code: Select all

# emerge --pretend --verbose sys-apps/kmod

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

I prefer to keep emerge --info quiet but I do notice USE="split-usr" in /etc/make.conf

hope this is OK ?


will have a read of:

I asked for emerge --info because I wanted to see if you are on a split-usr profile or a merged-usr profile. You shouldn't be setting USE=split-usr explicitly, though in this case the flag appears to be forced, so a local setting is irrelevant. You should pick a profile that sets split-usr the way you want it.

I would not expect a split-usr system to put kmod in /usr/bin, but I have not looked at this particular package.

[rufnut]

I apologize,

I am a split-usr and that USE="split-usr" appears to be taken from the profile setting,
not from /etc/make.conf as I previously stated.

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Merge-usr << appears pointless for me.

That is strange, then. I can find no fault in your current configuration, so I would have expected kmod-32 to work for you. I think the next step would be to inspect its build log to try to understand why it installed files where it did.

sys-apps/kmod-32 initially removed all symlink creation in /sbin with this commit. Shortly after, a follow-up commit restored modprobe for the kernel's /sbin/modprobe calls on split-usr.

Genkernel has a hardcoded /sbin/depmod check.

Time to file a bug on one or the other.

Genkernel has a hardcoded /sbin/depmod check.

Time to file a bug on one or the other.

I'd say genkernel, haven't looked but I doubt it has a reason to hardcode the full path rather than rely on PATH.

[rufnut]

Ionen, too

thank you all.

I will look further, then maybe log a bug on "genkernel."

[UlvHare]

The same story with me. Downgrade to kmod-31 let genkernel work.
