IMHO, the only reason we have @system is that devs create dependencies entirely by hand and most don't want to actually document what they are. Of course, the need to build packages give Gentoo packages a large number of build-time dependencies, but any distro that allows packages to be built from source has to deal with this as well. Sure, to bootstrap anything you need to start out with something, but that doesn't mean that you can't still track what the actual dependency relationships are, and in any case our system set is larger than the set of packages necessary to bootstrap the rest of the distro. Of course, it is hard to say exactly what is and isn't necessary for bootstrapping since we don't capture our dependencies. That's all very true, witness the frequent bikeshedding in -dev about what should and shouldn't be in @system. It looks like a simple problem - you need a toolchain plus all supporting packages plus the minimum needed to bootstrap userland.

It's portage's insanely obtuse output that is getting you confused, but
the error is with an ebuild, not portage.
First, there is not such package as solid with SLOT=4:
# eix -e solid
* kde-frameworks/solid
Available versions: (5) (~)5.7.0(5/5.7)

Then, all that dependency required by... output from portage is an
effort to show you what is pulling a package in, and it starts at the
beginning. Portage knows it's dealing with whatever is in the
@preserved-rebuild set, and that set has packages in it. Each of those
packages may have other deps, and so on.
In your case, it seems to be solid-actions-kcm that's causing it
# grep -r kde-base/solid:4 /var/portage/
/var/portage/kde-base/solid-actions-kcm/solid-actions-kcm-4.11.14.ebuild:
!kde-base/solid:4
I have no idea if this will work, but here's what I'd do:
skip @preserved-rebuild for now, and run
revdep-rebuild
emerge -a --depclean
So if that changes things. Also make sure neither solid nor
solid-actions-kcm are in world, they should be deps pulled in automatically.
Also move /var/lib/portage/preserved_libs_registry out of the way if it
has junk in it and let revdep-rebuild fix things.
Finally, you did sync ran emerge world recently, right?

Hi Alan,
thanks for your reply ! :)
...interesting...one needs to use grep to resolve a problem of
portage ;)
Things are going even more worst (correct English???...uh, sound like

revdep-rebuild runs fine and found nothing to rebuild.

Hi Alan,
thanks for your reply ! :)
No problem.
Huge amounts of portage output snipped below, but I think you are trying
to have stable Qt4 and unstable Qt5 on the same system. That doesn't
work currently, I'll walk through my reasoning so you can see what's
going on:
...interesting...one needs to use grep to resolve a problem of
portage ;)
Hah yes, that's quite funny.
I wanted to see what the ebuilds actually say, not what portage tools
think they say :-)
Things are going even more worst (correct English???...uh, sound like

revdep-rebuild runs fine and found nothing to rebuild.

Basically, of this part really means that you need Qt:4
It *can* co-exist with Qt5, I have them both installed here.

Hi,

Whiletrying to reolve a lot of blockers, emerge @preserved-rebuild

emerge itself can be called without that error.
How can an argument to a command haves a dependency?
How can I get out of this?
It's portage's insanely obtuse output that is getting you confused, but
the error is with an ebuild, not portage.
First, there is not such package as solid with SLOT=4:
# eix -e solid
* kde-frameworks/solid
Available versions: (5) (~)5.7.0(5/5.7)
{debug doc nls test}
Homepage:http://www.kde.org/
Description: Framework providing platform independent
hardware discovery, abstraction, and management
Then, all that dependency required by... output from portage is an
effort to show you what is pulling a package in, and it starts at the
beginning. Portage knows it's dealing with whatever is in the
@preserved-rebuild set, and that set has packages in it. Each of those
packages may have other deps, and so on.
In your case, it seems to be solid-actions-kcm that's causing it
# grep -r kde-base/solid:4 /var/portage/
/var/portage/kde-base/solid-actions-kcm/solid-actions-kcm-4.11.14.ebuild:
!kde-base/solid:4
I have no idea if this will work, but here's what I'd do:
skip @preserved-rebuild for now, and run
revdep-rebuild
emerge -a --depclean
So if that changes things. Also make sure neither solid nor
solid-actions-kcm are in world, they should be deps pulled in
automatically.
Also move /var/lib/portage/preserved_libs_registry out of the way if it
has junk in it and let revdep-rebuild fix things.
Finally, you did sync ran emerge world recently, right?
Hi Alan,
thanks for your reply ! :)
No problem.
Huge amounts of portage output snipped below, but I think you are trying
to have stable Qt4 and unstable Qt5 on the same system. That doesn't
work currently, I'll walk through my reasoning so you can see what's
going on:
...interesting...one needs to use grep to resolve a problem of
portage ;)
Hah yes, that's quite funny.
I wanted to see what the ebuilds actually say, not what portage tools
think they say :-)
Things are going even more worst (correct English???...uh, sound like
german English...;;;))):
revdep-rebuild runs fine and found nothing to rebuild.
depclean stops its work and said:
Calculating dependencies... done!
* Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to
* the following required packages not being installed:
*
* =dev-qt/qtgui-4.8.5:4[accessibility,dbus(+)] pulled in by:

[... huge snip]
Basically, of this part really means that you need Qt:4
It *can* co-exist with Qt5, I have them both installed here.
Since packages are missing I tried:
emerge --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y @world --tree --keep-going -v
which prints:
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

[gentoo-user] depclean portect a class of ebuilds ?
Howdy, Ok, so I use this syntax (in make.conf) to protect gentoo-source kernels, as I like to keep kernel codes around for quite a while: EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS=--exclude gentoo-sources It works just fine. Today, I have many many ugly and hacked java projects on my munge system. I have spend countless hours hacking at java; so I do not wish for any dev-java codes to be removed by --depclean, but the others can be cleaned up. I have not been able to find a way to (inside of make.conf) to prevent these dev-java/* ebuild removals. Insight, discussion and syntax snippents are all welcome, that will allow me to protect *java* from depclean. James

You have to override the tty rule(s) in /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules with a rule/rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/. Since the 50-udev-default.rules is an upstream rule that's shipped by all the distros that I use, perhaps you should track down why this is happening rather than overriding it. Canek had asked whether you were using systemd and therefore logind. Since you're using openrc, perhaps you should check whether installing consolekit is a fix because it's the precursor to logind.

I have the same udev rule. Yes, something is overriding it. A kludgy solution is to add the chmod command to ~/.bash_profile. Don't hit your head to a brick wall. A small strace to the login process reveals that login set things as you tell it to in /etc/login.defs In this file change the line: TTYPERM 0600 To: TTYPERM 0620 And your problem is fixed. The problem has nothing to do with udev.
