 |
|
hy people i get this strange situation:
[blocks B ] <x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4 (from pkg x11-base/opengl-update-2.1_pre1)
[ebuild N ] x11-base/opengl-update-2.1_pre1 0 kB
[ebuild U ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.1.902 [6.8.0-r3] (-3dfx) (-3dnow) -bitmap-fonts -cjk -debug -dlloader -dmx -doc -font-server -hardened -insecure-drivers -ipv6 -minimal (-mmx) +nls +opengl +pam -sdk (-sse) -static +truetype-fonts* -type1-fonts (-uclibc) -xprint -xv 43,266 kB
so im getting blocked whit a dependecy from a pkg that hasnt been installed yet. 
if a search for opengl pkgs on my system:
[1107]<<GeN@BoX>>~]$ qpkg -I | grep opengl
[1109]<<GeN@BoX>>~]$
i get nothing, any idea whats happening?
thnx People!:

It looksl iek you are beingasked to upgrade your xorg which depends on a new version of opengl-update. Unfortunatly the new opengl update is not compatible with your current version of xorg.
The solution would be to uninstall xorg-x11, then install the new version. |

i have injected:
>>> Injected x11-base/opengl-update-2.1_pre1
and the problem is the same:
[blocks B ] <x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4 (from pkg x11-base/opengl-update-2.1_pre1)
[ebuild U ] x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.1.902 [6.8.0-r3] (-3dfx) (-3dnow) -bitmap-fonts -cjk -debug -dlloader -dmx -doc -font-server -hardened -insecure-drivers -ipv6 -minimal (-mmx) +nls +opengl +pam -sdk (-sse) -static +truetype-fonts* -type1-fonts (-uclibc) -xprint -xv 43,266 kB
i can try and unmerge the release of Xorg i have currently but i dont see the point, because the pkg that is bloking the update is 6.8.0-r4 wich i dont have installed.
 im getting all confused.
thnx for the help!!

| I'm pretty sure you do have xorg-6.8.0-r4 installed, the r4 refers to the ebuild revision not any version of xorg. |

...it rather looks like you have xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3, but I think unmerging xorg-x11 may solve the problem nervertheless.
Btw, you can find out which "portage" version of xorg-x11 you have installed easily by typing
or
...which would be a little faster in this case.
qpkg belongs to gentoolkit and epm... well, just to epm

| Same problem here. I'm running xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3, too. I don't see any reason why xorg should block opengl-update. What does xorg have to do with it? Maybe this is a bug in the ebuild? |

Try
| Code: |
emerge -O opengl-update
emerge xorg-x11
emerge opengl-update
|
It's evidently a circular dependency; you have to have each present and compiled for the other to compile properly.
But, somebody should file a bug report if they haven't already; the ebuild should take care of this.

you get this output with that command:
$ S qpkg -I xorg-x11
x11-base/xorg-x11 *
something like qpkg -l xorg-x11
gives me xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3 1100864099
also:
S qpkg -i xorg-x11
x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3 *
but anyway the thing is to unmerge Xorg, shit im scared!

i have the same problem and cannot get rid of it:
| Code: |
# emerge -O opengl-update (no errors)
# emerge xorg-x11 (no errors)
and then this
# emerge opengl-update
Calculating dependencies ...done!
!!! Error: the <x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4 package conflicts with another package.
!!! both can't be installed on the same system together.
!!! Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers.
c1 root # emerge opengl-update -pv
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B ] <x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4 (from pkg x11-base/opengl-update-2.1_pre4)
[ebuild R ] x11-base/opengl-update-2.1_pre4 0 kB
Total size of downloads: 0 kB
|
i have x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r3 installed (amd64)
this error drives me mad i reemerged xorg more than 2 times and its quite annoying )-:
what else can i do?????? wait until emerging works some day after an emerge sync????

It's not an ebuild bug. As of 6.8.0-r4, the location of the X libraries changed, and so the newer opengl-updates deal with the new locations. The 2.0_pre opengl-updates can handle both locations seemingly (no blocker on old X implementations); the 2.1_pre versions can't. X versions newer than 6.8.0-r4 need an opengl-update newer than 1.99.
So, from looking at the ebuilds, a possible solution would be: | Code: | emerge --oneshot =opengl-update-2.0*
emerge --oneshot xorg-x11
emerge --oneshot opengl-update |
NB: The above is untested, since I already have 6.8.1 and opengl-update-2.1_pre |

But 2.1_pre is newer than 1.99. Why does the 6.8.0-r4-ebuild need support for both old lib-locations and new lib-locations? 6.8.0-r4 themself doesn't, it runs fine with opengl-update-2.1_pre (installed using -O). |

The 6.8.0-r4 version of xorg does not need "need support for both old lib-locations and new lib-locations". it can very well coexist with opengl-update 2.1 (which only supports new lib locations, according to spb and that sounds reasonable).
That quote
| likid0 wrote: | | [blocks B ] <x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4 (from pkg x11-base/opengl-update-2.1_pre1) |
only indicates that you can't install opengl-update 2.1 with xorg versions lower than 6.8.0-r4
Thus, having still installed 6.8.0-r3 (which is lower than 6.8.0-r4, obviously), you can't emerge opengl-update 2.1
I think it would be a nice feature for portage to automatically recognize this kind of "deadlocks". After all, the -u option is there to select the best available version of a certain package. So, in this case, it should note that 2.1 cannot be installed because it's not compatible with the current system, and should thus select the 2.0 version, which is the newest one that would work with the system. Or did I miss the purpose of the -u option?

Now I will admit to not fully understanding how to make the full transition from Xfree to Xorg, but why on earth is syncing trying to get me to go backwards? Did Xfree get on there knees and beg to be let back into the opensource GPU community or did I screw something up making the transition?

Yah, it appears that way but why? Why on earth would I want to go back to xfree when gentoo had pushed to get us to go to xorg. I am just trying to understand the motivation of the developers here. I mentioned it in this post beacuse i think that the problem is somewhat related... Or at least to the extent that I can grasp. I have not allowed emerge sync update that above file and I am also having this blocking issue when trying to emerge -puDv system, occuring beacuse open-gl and xorg.

At the point when xfree was removed from portage, an entry went into the updates file to move xfree to xorg-x11. This has a few effects:
(1) When processing a world update, Portage will treat xorg-x11 as a newer version of xfree and upgrade it (not strictly true, but a close enough approximation).
(2) Any references to xfree in /etc/portage/package.* will be updated to read xorg-x11 via etc-update. In this case, it so happens that updating package.mask like this is not what's wanted, but in the majority of cases it is. |

|
|
This is in response to the blocking issue. I found that it is a problem when trying to upgrade with the "-D" option for the dependencies. I was able to work around the problem by entering the following commands:
| Code: | emerge -O opengl-update
emerge -uDp xorg-x11 |
the second still had a blocking issue as stated above, but what I was able to do was recreate the list without the "-D" flag and nothing was blocked and re-emerged opengl-update for completeness. So my update command was as such:
| Code: | | emerge -u gpm '=sys-libs/db-1.85-r2' libpng freetype xorg-x11 xterm && emerge opengl-update |
You'll note that gpm, db, libpng, freetype, and xterm were all to be updated according to the dependency tree.
Everything is upgraded as expected... |

| I simply un-emerged the older opengl-update, then re-emerged the newer one with --nodeps and now I can upgrade xorg-x11 without the blocker. |
