[gentoo-user] Java emerge problem
Hi,
while doing an emerge --update --deep world
I get the error message
!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been
!!! pulled into the dependency graph:
dev-java/java-config:2
('ebuild', '/', 'dev-java/java-config-2.0.33-r1', 'merge') pulled in by
('binary', '/', 'dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.6.0.03', 'merge')
('binary', '/', 'dev-java/java-config-2.1.3', 'merge') pulled in by
('binary', '/', 'dev-java/jsch-0.1.36-r1', 'merge')
('binary', '/', 'dev-java/junit-3.8.2-r1', 'merge')
('binary', '/', 'dev-java/commons-logging-1.1-r4', 'merge')
(and 20 more)
Looking at dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.6.0.03.ebuild I cannot see where
there is a dependency on dev-java/java-config-2.0.33-r1 .
I had to unmerge dev-java/sun-jre-bin before emerge --update --deep world
Can somebody please explain this to me?
Many thanks,

[gentoo-user] SANDBOX - state of the art?
Hi, I have sys-apps/sandbox-1.2.20_alpha2-r1 installed but still when I install a kernel module I need to disable the sandbox by using FEATURES='-sandbox' I am running kernel 2.6.23-gentoo-r3 and gcc-4.2.2 as standard C-compiler. Am I missing something or is the bug not fixed, yet?

[gentoo-user] how to teach emerge -sync to sync packages?
Hi, I haven't found out how to teach emerge to rsync /usr/portage/packages as well. Both, /etc/rsyncd.conf on the server and /etc/portage/rsync_excludes only exclude distfiles. There is no server problem, since an rsync on the command line does fetch packages, too Many thanks for a hint, Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] baselayout-2.0.0 surprises
Hi, after upgrading to baselayout-2.0.0 ( and openrc ) I've got some unpleasant surprises. Is there an upgrade guide anywhere ? Maybe some problems are causes by myself (accidently) /etc/conf.d/rc seems to have gone (now /etc/rc.conf ?) /etc/conf.d/net seems to have gone this inhibited my network after reboot Has it really gone or did I delete by accident ? After I have replaced /etc/conf.d/net from a backup the network came up on the next boot. While the init scripts is running, I get the following messages never seen before - cruft in proc - net.ppp0 not under our control, aborting Fortunately it didn't abort my ppp connection (otherwise there wouldn't been this email) Are there more problems to be expected?

[gentoo-user] Baselayout 2 - one more (unpleasant) surprise
Hi, on a machine with a ppp (ADSL) connection my atm_over_ethernet bride always dies when started during boot. I first tried to start it (after boot) via /etc/init.d/net.nas0 restart which reliably shows the same effect. 4 # /etc/init.d/net.nas0 restart * Bringing up interface nas0 * Starting RFC 2684 Bridge control on nas0 * start-stop-daemon: caught an interrupt * start-stop-daemon: /usr/sbin/br2684ctl died [ !! ] * ERROR: net.nas0 failed to start But then I do it in two steps /etc/init.d/net.nas0 stop and afterwards /etc/init.d/net.nas0 start which (reliably) works. 5 # /etc/init.d/net.nas0 stop * WARNING: net.nas0 is already stopped 6 # /etc/init.d/net.nas0 start * Bringing up interface nas0 * Starting RFC 2684 Bridge control on nas0 [ ok ] * null ... Needless to say that this has been working for years(!) with baselayout 1.x, and the package net-misc/br2684ctl hasn't changed for a long time. So, what's going on and what to do about it? Shall I make a bug report?

[gentoo-user] portage usage problems
Hi, I have two tiny problems in using portage. - How can I get a list of all packages for which there is a newer version. emerge --update world doesn't work since it doesn't respect my ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 setting, i.e. it doesn't show new packages if they are masked by the ~x86 keyword. - Whenever I install a new kernel I have to reinstall all those packages which generate a kernel module, e.g. nvidia-drivers, openafs-kernel or virtualbox-modules. When emerge has installed the kernel module in /lib/modules/new-kernel/... it removes the corresponding module in /lib/modules/old-kernel Since I want a fall back possibility I'd like to tell emerge not to remove the modules for the old-kernel.

Hi, I'm still struggling with the logic of dependencies in ebuild files e.g. kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.10-r2.ebuild contains the line !avahi? ( !bindist? ( net-misc/mDNSResponder !kde-misc/kdnssd-avahi ) ) This causes a dependency loop since I do have 'avahi' installed which blocks net-misc/mDNSResponder but other packages need avahi.

You can probably avoid these checks by putting -strict in FEATURES.
Unfortunately, this doesn't help.

Hi,

doc? ( app-text/texi2html virtual/texi2dvi )

octave? ( dev-lang/swig[octave] )
What does dev-lang/swig[python] mean?
Since dev-lang/swig/swig-1.3.39 does not
use the useflags 'python', etc, anymore,
emerging sci-libs/mathgl tries to downgrade to
swig-1.3.36 which gives conflict elsewhere.
Do I really need to mask swig-1.3.36 or
is sci-libs/mathgl-1.8-r1.ebuild too old?

[gentoo-user] ebuild syntax question
Hi, dev-util/eclipse-sdk-3.4.1.ebuild from layman/java-overlay contains CDEPEND=. =dev-java/tomcat-servlet-api-5.5.25-r1:2.4 What does that mean?

You should be able to just provide the libraries to the linker when linking your shared object. When *running* the application, your shared object (i.e. the loader) should transitively pull in the libs on which yours depends. You can check those dependencies using ldd your-lib. Hope this helps, Patric Thanks Patric, but unfortunately that's not what I want. In this case, these secondary libraries (e.g. libmpfr.so and libgmp.so) have to be present on the target machines together with an 'rpath' if they are in non-standard directories.

Liviu Yes, but it seems 0.0.21 is not even released, because there is no files to fetch from ftp.gimp.org for this version. It needs gegl svn. To do those I've built an entry in my overlay tree. If your interested I can send this to you by email. But it's not funny since there is patch gegl-21-configure-ac.patch derived ffrom gegl-20-configure-ac.patch which has to be adapted to the current svn version. -- Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany
[gentoo-user] package.keywords syntax?
Hi, I have ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~amd64 in /etc/make.conf and I want to keep it. Is it possible to revoke this for whole bunch of packages like kde-base/* I've tried the following line in /etc/portage/package.keywords kde-base/* -~amd64 but it doesn't help.

[gentoo-user] eclipse plugin installation
Hi, I've emerged dev-util/eclipse-sdk (version 3.4-r2) and comes up nicely. But when I try to download a plugin (e.g. for C++ or Python) using Help - Software Updates I get Cannot launch the Update UI. This installation has not been configure properly for Software Updates. What am I missing? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany
[gentoo-user] packages/All - how to create ?
Hi, I have a (nearly) identical Gentoo system on several machines. On all machines except one, there is a directory /usr/portage/packages/All which contains symlinks to the packages in the specific directories. This is quite comfortable when copying the most recent packages. How can I set up GenToo to create and maintain this directory?

[gentoo-user] more than one package directory ?
Hi, I'd like to use more than one package directory, e.g. /usr/portage/packages plus plus all stuff on a DVD. Is there a Gentoo specific way to do so or do I need an overlay file system like aufs ?
