If the last stable (0.2.0-r2), you might very well want to consider unmasking the unstable version for this package only -- add app-portage/gentoolkit ~x86 to /etc/portage/package.keywords-- as revdep-rebuild is vastly improved (though still not perfect) in the most recent unstable version. app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.0-r2 is what I have. I may update it when it gets through with -ev world. It is within the realm of possiblility that your version of revdep-rebuild is less trustworthy than mine (I use the unstable version), so the reason why you're receiving untrustworthy reports, and I'm saying the application is trustworthy despite this is because my version *is* reasonably trustworthy and yours is not (which would make all of the following completely incorrect). I understand that all those brokens seem like they should be of concern, but the important thing is that *revdep-rebuild is not offering to rebuild anything*. What I suspect has happened is that you have changed your USE flags and possibly run revdep-rebuild based on a revdep-rebuild -p that you had done prior to changing your USE flags. Well, I'm the same way with my car, the house and just about everything else I have. If I think it has something that I *may* can not depend on, I fix it. I would rather fix it than to just hope for the best. I'm one of those that has had my fair share of bad luck so I paln for the worst and hope for the best. Brakes on my car is a good example. I want them to work everytime, not just on occasion. I say this because I notice that gaim and python both have the tcltk USE flag available; they must have been compiled at least once with this flag active for them to require libtk8.3.so and libtcl8.3.so, but now, even though these libraries are broken, gaim and python are not offered to be rebuilt-- therefore the optional dependency on these libraries must have been removed in the meantime. This could occur if you had run revdep-rebuild -p (which makes a list of the proposed rebuilds based on the system at that moment), changed your USE flages, removing tcltk, then re-emerged gaim and python during the course of a emerge --newuse world, and then run revdep-rebuild without the -p (which reads the list created from the previous --pretend run rather than re-evaluating the system). I do have tcltk in the USE section. Pysol, one of my card games, requires it. All the broken gnome libs depending on libsigc++ (which is where libsigc-1.2.so.5 comes from) seem to be deep dependencies (no packages are offered to be fixed related to them); since you appear to be a KDE user, the only way I see for these libraries to be on your system is that they were optional dependencies emerged via the +gnome USE flag (since the direct dependencies for these libraries are not being mentioned as broken, or offered to rebuild). Perhaps this USE flag has also been disabled and the applications previously using it rebuilt. I have not changed my USE flags in a really long time, that I can recall anyway. It is possible though. The icewm applications depending on libungif are also not offered to rebuild, although they are broken w.r.t the libraries, which suggests that icewm is not in your world file, but is a dependency or deep dependency of something that is. But what's interesting is that icewm does not depend on libungif, but giflib, which is apparently not broken, and certainly not broken w.r.t icewm. So what it looks like to me is that your system is very sloppy at the moment, but nothing in fact is broken by some miracle of fate, which is why revdep-rebuild put out all this output, but offered to fix nothing. Well, that is sort of what I am working on here. I want to get everything back up to fubar here. I installed Gentoo a couple years ago and have been doing my updates pretty regular but that is about it really. Time to change the oil so to speak. Or it's a gigantic bug. but if that was the case, you would likely have noticed; you would have rather a wide range of programs and DE/WMs that would not start, such as GNOME, IceWM, and Gaim, which I think you would have reported if it had happened. No Gnome or IceWM here. That gaim sounds familiar though. I may have it but I don't use it. So I think that revdep-rebuild is telling the truth, and although many things are bent, nothing is broken and nothing in fact needs rebuilding. I would consider an emerge depclean -p (do *not* forget the -p!!!) to begin the process of getting rid of some of these apparently no-longer needed packages and libraries. *Absolutely* look at the list and make sure nothing essential is suggested to unmerge before attempting an emerge depclean without --pretend I'll do that in a bit and post what it says, we'll look at and see what is *safe*.

This warning only happens the first time it is stopped after a reboot. Subsequent stops and starts produce no warnings.

I get the same warning (again, ipw2200), and it works fine. I noticed that the version in the kernel is the 'stable' .0 version, while the one you are using with 2.6.12.6 is a .2 'unstable' version. It might be interesting to try merging the 1.1.0 version of the package with 2.6.12.6, and see if you have the same issue. That would tell you if it is a driver version or kernel change that is causing the problem. I have already run emerge -C ipw2100 to remove that Gentoo package, which is no longer needed with kernel 2.6.14. How does wireless still work under 2.6.12.6 without that package? Sounds like removing the package didn't remove the compiled kernel modules from /lib/modules/2.6.12.6. Both unusual and lucky! Is the warning about versions 19 and 17 significant? It seems to come from iwconfig, which is part of wireless-tools. I have version 27-r1 of that package, which is the latest available. 28_pre10 is available for ~x86. Try: echo net-wireless/wireless-tools ~x86 /etc/portage/package.keywords emerge -Dv wireless-tools Also, there are now versions of the ieee80211 and ipw2100 packages that will merge with 2.6.14. They are also masked ~x86, so you will need to do the same updates to package.keywords: echo net-wireless/ieee80211 ~x86 /etc/portage/package.keywords echo net-wireless/ipw2100 ~x86 /etc/portage/package.keywords This should give you the latest 1.1.3 version of the driver.

Well, I wasn't thinking about the *broadcast* adress (which in my address indeed has no 255 in it, as it is 192.168.1.31). I was referring to the network mask. Sure, even that doesn't *HAVE* to start with 255 - but I don't know about any network that spans multiple class A networks. But you're right, there's no requirement that the network mask MUST start with 255. It just happens to always and ever be that way - not so with the inet addr text. That happens to often be wrong (locale de_DE, fr_FR and certainly many others). The only option is to assume that the address line appears on the 2nd line, and it is delimited by a colon, and then strip out the fields past the trailing spaces. Yep.

Re: [gentoo-user] What happened with KDE?
It looks like they changed the naming between beta1 and beta2, but the ebuild appears to take this into account. Sorry for saying thtat you are misreading the ebuilds. I have just figured out how it works, but i think that is misleading: Unless you unmask the libkpgp package, emerge reports missing beta2 ebuild. I think that emerge instead of reporting that highest version of dep is missing, should report masked beta1 ebuild, because it matches the deprange(from 3.5_beta1 to 3.5.0_beta2). -- Best Regards, Peper -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] Shutdown/Restart Issue
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi All, Recently, I've started to experience an issue when trying to restart or shutdown my computer using the K menu Log Out selection, which gives the options to End Current Session, Restart the Computer, Turn of the Computer and of course, Cancel. If I select to restart or turn off the computer, the computer will do neither. My monitor shuts down, but the computer itself neither restarts or shuts off depending on which selection I've made. I *can* restart or shutdown properly if I do it from the command line in a terminal window. This probably isn't a specific Gentoo issue. It *could* be a KDE issue, but I haven't done anything to KDE. When I installed KDE in September, I emerged kde-meta. I don't recall if there have been updates since then, but I know that I could shutdown or restart using the menu selection and no changes were made to KDE since before this behaviour started. This seemed to start around the same time as I upgraded mysql. I don't know specifically if that had anything to do with it. I'm just saying that this behaviour started around that time and up until then, everything was fine. Any ideas?
