[solved][liguros-repo] udev migration broke my system

[Tariella]

So, I recently realized that my system still used eudev, which caused a block with systemd-utils +udev.
A short research later, I decided to migrate away from the deprecated eudev to systemd-utils +udev, since that seems the way to go now.

I uninstalled eudev and followed the udev gentoo wiki to install systemd-utils with the correct use flags (mainly +udev and +kmod) and encountered a system-breaking error:
Openrc cannot start udev, as it is unable to find the executable.

A check showed that the existing init script at /etc/init.d/udev calls for the following executables:
/sbin/udevd
/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd

Since

Code: Select all

equery files systemd-utils

claims that none of these files, nor the /etc/init.d/udev script itself are even provided by systemd-utils (which installs an executable named /sbin/udevadm), I speculated that maybe the init script was a leftover from eudev.
So I downloaded a fresh stage3 file to check the pre-installed init scripts, but there the /etc/init.d/udev file looks exactly the same.

Does anyone have any idea, where I went wrong, or which package provides the correct executables and/or the init script?

[Administrator note: updated title to note use of an overlay for udev; moved to Unsupported Software due to both the overlay and the use of INSTALL_MASK to block files installed by the affected package. -Hu]

Here I see:

Code: Select all

$ equery belongs /sbin/udevd /lib/systemd/systemd-udevd /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd
 * Searching for /sbin/udevd,/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd,/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd ...
sys-apps/systemd-utils-256.17 (/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-udevd -> ../../bin/udevadm)
sys-apps/systemd-utils-256.17 (/usr/bin/udevadm)

If none of them are present on the system, I wonder if 'INSTALL_MASK' will hold the answer.

OP: what is the output of emerge --info --verbose sys-apps/systemd-utils sys-fs/udev-init-scripts ; equery files sys-apps/systemd-utils?

[Tariella]

Emerge --info shows INSTALL_MASK is indeed set:

Code: Select all

INSTALL_MASK="/etc/systemd/ /usr/lib/systemd/ /lib/systemd/"

Since this is not in my make.conf it must be defined somewhere else.

I tried

Code: Select all

INSTALL_MASK=" " emerge systemd-utils

but no change.

Any idea where this is defined?
I guess this setting is deprecated as well, since there is a -systemd use-flag now for the purpose of preventing systemd stuff from being installed.

What is the output of grep -rn INSTALL_MASK /etc/make.conf /etc/portage/? Why are you pulling these from the liguros-repo overlay instead of the main Gentoo repository?

[Tariella]

Grep -m shows no results.

My installation was originally liguros, which is mainly gentoo with extra quality control.
The repo is basically the gentoo repo but with automated overnight build checks before release, so I kept it.
The profile presets might be at a different path though. I'll see if I can find them.

edit
I switched to gentoo desktop profile and while it solved the udev problem after re-emerging systemd-utils and udev-init-scripts, it opened a ton of other problems, namely split-usr vs merge-usr stuff, missing multilib and a legion of changed use flags to be double-checked.. Following the execution of the merge-usr script (which btw refuses to emerge on split-usr :facepalm:), the emerge -avuDN system failed for about half the packages because of the changed usr directories. I decided to do a reinstall from scratch.

Thanks for the help, marking this as solved now.
Technically, it probably was a 'very aged-system' problem, more than a liguros-repo problem. I found a similar problem on google from back in 2011, which was pure gentoo.

I don't think that's expected wrt merge-usr (not something I've seen or heard reported) but done with now.
