Can't install steam due to virtual/rust [solved]

[xiwi]

I followed the Gentoo steam wiki page but when trying to emerge steam-overlay I get thrown the following error

Code: Select all

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "virtual/rust[abi_x86_32(-)?,abi_x86_64(-)?,abi_x86_x32(-)?,abi_mips_n32(-)?,abi_mips_n64(-)?,abi_mips_o32(-)?,abi_s390_32(-)?,abi_s390_64(-)?]" have been masked.

(dependency required by "x11-libs/extest-1.0.2::steam-overlay" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "games-util/steam-launcher-1.0.0.81::steam-overlay[joystick,wayland]" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "steam-launcher" [argument])

As I understand it, virtual/rust is obsolete, does it mean the ebuild just isn't updated yet? I'd prefer not to start unmasking packages left and right

Thanks

This should be solved by uninstalling virtual/rust and install either dev-lang/rust or dev-lang/rust-bin.

According to the output shown, the ebuild from the steam-overlay explicitly requires virtual/rust. Installing one of dev-lang/rust or dev-lang/rust-bin is necessary for actually compiling Rust code, but will not satisfy this ebuild's stated dependency. I think the ebuild needs to be updated.

Right, as I thought. I haven't installed virtual/rust bit i do have dev-lang/rust-bin, so it isn't enough. After looking at the git page there is this awaiting implementation, in the meanwhile I'll patch the ebuild. Thanks
