Problems updating

[JoeDuncan]

Ok, I am trying to update my system with:

emerge -uDv world

However, I keep getting this:

Code: Select all

emerge -uDv world
Calculating world dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 89) kde-base/kde-i18n-3.4.1 to /
>>> md5 files   ;-) kde-i18n-3.3.2.ebuild
>>> md5 files   ;-) kde-i18n-3.4.2.ebuild

>>> md5 files   ;-) files/kde-i18n-ru-3.3.2-kmplot.diff

 * You must define a LINGUAS environment variable that contains a list
 * of the language codes for which languages you would like to install.
 * Look at the LANGS variable inside the ebuild to see the list of
 * available languages.
 * e.g.: LINGUAS="sv de pt"


!!! ERROR: kde-base/kde-i18n-3.4.1 failed.
!!! Function pkg_setup, Line 35, Exitcode 0
!!! (no error message)
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

I have tried the follwing:

Code: Select all

LINGUAS="en"
export LINGUAS
emerge -uDv world

as well as

Code: Select all

LINGUAS="en" emerge -uDv world

but they both give me the same results as above. Also, I have added LINGUAS="en" to /etc/make.conf and that doesn't help either... what's the problem here?

This is what emerge --info gives:

Code: Select all

Thanks!

kde-i18n doesn't have the "en" LINGUA, as that is the base language. If you only want American, you don't need kde-i18n.

[JoeDuncan]

Ok, that makes sense, but then why is "emerge -uDv world" trying to install it?

I have never had this problem before, if I'd have had kde-i18n installed before, I would have run into this, no?

[ecatmur]

Not necessarily; it could be a new feature of the updated ebuild. The emerge --ask or emerge --pretend output will show whether this is an upgrade or a new package.

[JoeDuncan]

<shrug>meh...</shrug>

I don't need it so I did "emerge -v unmerge kde-i18n" and now "emerge -uDv world" doesn't bitch anymore.



Thanks!
