emerge - UD fails here

do I remove/change the ~x86 flag ?

Actually, the compile error message was reported on the lines above the erroe message you posted - it is just portage message saying that compilation failed.

You should definetely try with reemerging with "x86" keyword. Do either

First of all do not really know what the error message means, but somehow
KEYWORDS seetings is not working as expected, since "x86" should merge latest stable which is 4.5 and not 4.6.
Try doing
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" emerge info
and see if ACCEPT_KEYWORDS is set corretly. If not then you should change it in make.conf. Run emerge info to see if KEYWORDS change was accepted.

As for as 4.6 version, I would try trying to compile with O2 instead of O3 and if it still fails report it as a bug.[/code]

i it ANDs the new one, not ORs it.
i'll change it in make.conf

bash-2.05b# ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" emerge info
Portage 2.0.50-r1 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r3, 2.4.20-gentoo-r5)

Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.2

but this is now the problem - wherer is the portage tree that i have to delete to allow it to start over again?

bash-2.05b# emerge -pUD world
>>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies -
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-devel/automake-1.8.2" have been masked.
!!! possible candidates are:
- sys-devel/automake-1.8.2 (masked by: ~keyword)
!!! (dependency required by "sys-apps/coreutils-5.2.0" [ebuild])

!!! Problem with ebuild sys-apps/man-pages-1.65
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.

!!! Depgraph creation failed.

I do not see your portage tree is broken, the problem is the keywords, in emerge info you should either have

thecooptoo · Veteran Joined: 27 Apr 2003 Posts: 1353 Location: UK

changes to /etc/make.conf
bash-2.05b# cat /etc/make.conf |grep ACCEPT
# would add '~x86' to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to enable unstable/testing packages.
#ACCEPT_KEYWORDS='~x86'
#ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86"
bash-2.05b# emerge info | grep ACCEPT
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86"
bash-2.05b#

then changing the line in /etc/make.conf
bash-2.05b# cat /etc/make.conf |grep ACCEPT
# would add '~x86' to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to enable unstable/testing packages.
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS='~x86'
#ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86"
bash-2.05b# emerge info | grep ACCEPT
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86"
bash-2.05b#

not sure if this is what should happen

Ive then done
bash-2.05b# emerge -pUD world
bash-2.05b# emerge sync
emerge sys-apps/texinfo

and it fails

Your KEYWORDS setup seems OK now. Since the the thing still does not want to build, file a bug report. Also mask the sys-apps/texinfo-4.6 in /etc/portage/package.mask to be able to use emerge -pUD world without errors.

You can also try to compile with O2 instead od O3, the error like you are getting can be due to optimizations in O3.

BTW, there are two more threads about this problem, none of them contains the solution, so quite possibly this is a bug.
