I forgot to add that my system was already almost identical to yours, so I

Er... outgoing mail doens't go through postfix at all; it goes direct from my 
KMail client to my ISP.

No such setting in my main.cf so I assume it's empty.

Anyway, I looked at some of those mails that postfix was trying to forward, and 
they were old and unimportant, so I purged them.

Let's see what other problems I've made for myself...  :)

If your mailserver (postfix) is sending emails to your ISP, that is (from the 
viewpoint of postfix) relaying by definition.

If you have only 1 domain, keep that "virtual_alias_domains" empty.

No relaying here; all outgoing mail goes to my ISP.

I've been using postfix for longer than I can remember.
The config entries I changed from default are:

--- main.cf ---
myhostname = 
mydomain = 
myorigin = 
mynetworks = 
smtpd_relay_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, 
reject_unauth_destination
---

Also, are all emails sent to "mydomain" or do you have additional domains 
configured?
If the latter, did you set "virtual_alias_domains = hash:/etc/postfix/
virtual_domains"
Include all virtual domains the file and converted the file to a .db ?

No, $myhostname is .lan

I think those entries must be for sendmail.

Yes, I have root: prh, but postfix still tries to forward mail for 
root@ to  instead of hanging on to it.

I hadn't thought of doing that. When I tried it, postfix complained "Names must 
be local" and wouldn't accept my root@ entries.

I'll try setting mynetworks and see what happens.

I'm not sure I quite understood where you're having problems, but I
have a machine that accepts mail from the LAN through postfix, so I'll
show some of my setup. Replace any <> with your hostnames.

On the LAN machine I don't have postfix, I only send mail directly to
the machine with 'sendmail', but I found that I have in
/etc/mail/mailertable:
192.168. smtp:
 esmtp:
And in /etc/mail/local-host-names I have set  -
maybe that does something, but I send mail directly with sendmail
either way.

On the postfix machine I have in /etc/postfix/aliases:
root:   arve
This should make all mail to root be delivered to me. It also contains
a bunch of aliases that I'm not sure if is necessary:
arve@ arve
arve@.lan arve
arve@.localdomain arve
arve@.lan  arve

In /etc/postfix/main.cf there is this, and I assume at least some of
this makes this all work:
myhostname = .lan
inet_interfaces = $myhostname, localhost
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, 
mynetworks = 192.168.0.0/24, 127.0.0.0/8

Many thanks, indeed!  That was the cause of my problem, and re-emerging
lvm2 with that USE flag set solved it completely.

Yes.  There was even a news item about it back in November.  I've read
it again, and it seems too vague to me.  For example, it says:

>>> If you use LVM2 for any partitions, or if you use tools like
>>> 'lvchange', you should enable USE=lvm.

, without saying in detail anywhere what it means to "use" LVM2.  I
wasn't aware of "using" LVM2 when I read that news item, so I just
carried on, blithely unaware of the coming catastrophe.  ;-)

Still, it's OK, now.

Thanks for that, too.  I actually created a small script with commands
like these when I was installing Gentoo ~5 years ago, and I adapted
that, saving the heavy labour of working out again that the flag in
mount that I need is -o bind.  :-)

Been there, done that myself.

Mount your filesystems from the rescue boot and chroot into them.

Re-emerge lvm2 with the "lvm" flag enabled.

I was right the first time: it was something I'd done - a typo in /boot/loader/
entries/. (My eyes just get worse all the time. That's my excuse and 
I'm sticking to it.)

Now, though, the system gets as far as populating /dev and hangs. So, back to 
SysRescCD and check that devfs is selected, and it is. I'll go through the 
kernel config yet again and see what I may have missed.

I tried to google that message and it found nothing.  That's not good. 
Makes me wonder what is causing that.  Made me think a bit. 

Have you double checked your fstab?  Maybe you missed updating a line,
missed commenting something out or a typo maybe?  Any strange kernel
options added to your bootloader?  Typo maybe?  Have you double checked
that the file systems you use for /boot and / are built into the kernel? 

Hopefully someone else will have more ideas but in the meantime, may
want to double check those.  Just to be sure. 

Hope that helps, or someone else has ideas.

If it's a one-time thing, you can set the EXTRA_ECONF environment

No dialling in. I have a vDSL modem-router which handles all the PPPoE stuff 
and shows me an Ethernet interface to connect my LAN to.

Dear Peter,

Adding ipv6 address is not the deal.

Question(s):

How do you connect to the internet ?

Do you connect through pppoe (point-to-point-over-ethernet) or over ppoa 
(point-to-point-over-atm) ?


Does your modem handle the dialin for you automatically?

In this case there are 2 other choices (NAT Router) or bridged mode.

Tell us a bit more about your topologie, and how you enter the internet.

Hello list,

Having been inspired by the recent discussion of IPv6, I decided to try it,
starting with my ISP, my Billion Bipac vDSL modem-router and one host - this
one. Of course it isn't straightforward.

Zen has allocated me a /64 ND prefix and a /48 PD prefix. I found a way to
tell the Bipac to set up IPv6, and rebooted it; it now tells me its LAN
address is 2a02:8010:663d:0:6203:47ff:fe2d:8eba/64. Nslookup on this host says
the same, without the /64. But then this:

$ ping6 vdsl
ping: vdsl: No address associated with hostname
$ ping6 2a02:8010:663d:0:6203:47ff:fe2d:8eba
PING 2a02:8010:663d:0:6203:47ff:fe2d:8eba(2a02:8010:663d:0:6203:47ff:fe2d:
8eba) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 2a02:8010:663d:0:6203:47ff:fe2d:8eba: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64
time=1.75 ms
^C

If I add the LAN address of the Bipac to /etc/hosts, ping finds it okay, but
what if the address changes if the Bipac reboots? I thought this kind of
address fixing was unnecessary in IPv6.

And am I supposed to fix the IPv6 addresses of the other hosts on the LAN, or
just stick to IPv4 for local comms? And I haven't yet even thought about the
wireless devices served by the Bipac, though I see my mobile phone has
acquired an IPv6 address starting with fe80::40be... and it doesn't look like
its MAC address.

I can't apply a ULA to my router, but it's given me a /128 address which I can 
use in DNS.

I haven't looked into SLAAC yet, but meanwhile I've sorted out addresses for 
my LAN hosts using the delegation prefix and an arbitrary host number 1 to 6.

Ping6 and nslookup both work, both locally and to remote hosts.

Thanks again for your help! Now for shorewall6   :)

Nice. In that case, you can of course use your router's global scope
address in /etc/hosts or DNS.

ULA support, or rather the ability to assign additional static IPv6
addresses to an interface, depends on the router's firmware. If you can
make it work, https://cd34.com/rfc4193/ can help you generate a ULA
prefix.

ULA allows for fixed addresses, while SLAAC-based addresses expire and
can contain random components, and that's why static name-to-address
mappings generally use ULA.

I can't see any fd67... Addresses here. The only IPv6 details my router shows 
are the LAN and WAN addresses, and 'ip -6 route show' on this host, although 
it lists six addresses bound to eth0, doesn't mention fd67.

Do I need to fix a ULA (on each host?), and how would I choose and apply it? 
My router seems to be a bit basic in the IPv6 department.

That's what you consider "the easiest option"? ;-)

I usually ask the following of people starting with IPv6: Do you really
need fixed names for all nodes, or is this more of a reflex?

In my experience, home networks can usually run with only a few fixed
addresses (or rather name-to-address mappings). An old printer might
need a fixed address. A multimedia server will broadcast its services
and often does not need a fixed address. Neither do various smart-
phones. The router might need one, if it has a web UI. Something like
this might be enough:

  # /etc/hosts
  fd67:1:2:3::1 router.local  router
  fd67:1:2:3::2 printer.local printer

fd67:1:2:3::/64 is a random ULA prefix, pretty much an equivalent of
10.0.0.0/8 but much larger. Just assign a fixed ULA address to nodes
that *really* need it and share /etc/hosts across your nodes.

That, to me, is an easier option than setting up DHCPv6 and a DNS
server, both of which need to support dynamic DNS updates. Depending on
your environment, "ping6 somename.local" might work without any manual
configuration at all, as I mentioned in my previous message.

* Peter Humphrey:

The outcome of ping depends on /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts, and even
on the OS of the IPv6 nodes involved. Apple devices will be available as
somename.local, with "somename" being what the user configured as the
device's name in Preferences->Sharing. I can for example ping my iPhone
via "ping6 silver.local".

> If I add the LAN address of the Bipac to /etc/hosts, ping finds it
> okay, but what if the address changes if the Bipac reboots?

Your Bipac will have multiple "LAN addresses", or rather addresses that
are bound to the LAN-facing network interface. In your example, you were
pinging the global scope address 2a02:x which may change over time,
unless your provider assigns static networks (mine does not). However,
the router should also have at least one link-local address and one
unique local address (ULA):

  Global scope: 2a02:8010:x (may change or may not)
  Link local: fe80:y (may change with SLAAC privacy extensions)
  ULA: fd67:z (should be fixed)

With my router, the ULA was set up once when I first picked a random ULA
prefix, and has remained immutable since then.

> I see my mobile phone has acquired an IPv6 address starting with

That's not actually a bad thing. I mentioned SLAAC privacy extensions
(RFC 4941) before; [1] offers some explanations.

It really depends how you're setting up IPv6 on your local network.
The easiest option is if you're using stateful DHCPv6. In this case you
just need to set up your dhcp server to notify your dns server of any
new leases. If you're using static IPv6 addresses you can create a
static mapping between hostnames and addresses either in /etc/hosts or
your dns server. If you're using SLAAC, however, the only option I can
think of is to use stateless DHCPv6 to notify the DHCP server of your
client fqdn which should then sync the record with the DNS server.

It is also worth mentioning that ebuilds cannot be added to the tree
with "stable" flags, at least not by unprivileged contributors such as
myself.

If, for example, there is an upstream bugfix release, I will copy my
existing ebuild because neither build process nor dependencies have
changed one bit, but I am required to change keywords to unstable
anyway.

Switching to stable would require a second pull request after at least a
month has passed, and many contributors just don't bother with that.

That's because ~ doesn't mean unstable, it means testing. Stable in this
context means less likely to change, not less likely to fall over. Plus
the differentiation is for the ebuilds, not the software itself. You can
have a rock solid program still in the testing tree.

I've occasionally thought about doing that.  I've just not pulled the

looked at how many packages were going to change, got busy / needed to 
do something else at the time, and reverted with the decision to tackle

I switched fully to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" (make.conf) after running

I don't remember adding ~amd64 for dev-util/cargo.  I wonder if I added

Once you unmask, you can install what you need for Firefox/Thunderbird

emerge -aDuN @world is now happy (or at least not blocking / erroring

The correct way is to run `eselect rust set 1`. There are other symlinks 
besides cargo.

Thanks for the answer.
Unfortunately, the hints on the page you linked didn't work. The firmware on 
that page is already included in linux-firmware (unless I'm missing something, 
of course). I tried compiling it in the kernel, but with no result. I believe 
the problem is something other than missing firmware, because I see no messages 
about failures to load firmware in dmes. 

I just noticed there are some audio-related messages in dmesg which I hadn't 
noticed before:

[drm] HDaudio controller not detected, using LPE audio instead
cht-bsw-rt5645: ASoC: CODEC DAI snd-soc-dummy-dai not registered
cht-bsw-rt5645: snd_soc_register_card failed -517

I don't know whether they're significant or they're spurious messages caused by 
my including every possible sound card drivers in the kernel.

I fear you're right about this Transformer not being linux friendly: I just 
found out that it doesn't recognize the power button, either. 

I think right now I need a break from this machine: I've alread spent about 
three days working on it and I have other things to do. I'll try to rebuild a 
kernel from scratch in a few days; in the meanwhile I'll use it as it is.

Thanks again

Hello to everyone,
I'm trying to install Gentoo on an Asus Transformer T101HA and there are some
issues I'd need help with.

First of all, I must say that many things worked fairly easily. I performed
the installation from a SysrescueCD USB stick where almost everything,
including WiFi and touchscreen, worked out of the box (aside from having to
find out how to rotate the screen, both in X and in framebuffer).

After installing everything (of course, compiling all packages on my desktop
machine), there are still some things which don't work. One is the touch
screen but, given that it worked using the SysrescueCD stick, I'm not worried
too much about it (besides, I'm not planning to use it much).

The most troublesome issues, right now, are the sound card and the SD card
reader. Both of them simply don't seem to exist: they didn't work with the
SysrescueCD stick, I can't find any mention of either of them in the output of
dmesg, lspci and lsusb and Google gave pratically no answer. I'm starting to
think neither of them is supported with Linux but I haven't been able to find
any definitive information about this. I tried activating all kernel options I
could find which seemed vaguely related to them, but to no effect.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able even to find out the exact models of the
cards. All I know is that (according to Windows 10) the sound card is an Intel
SSt Audio Device (WDM), while the codec is a Realtek I2S Audio Codec. I have
no information at all on the SD card reader. The motherboard, according to
lshw, is a T101HA by AUSTeK.

I attach my last version of the kernel config (using gentoo-sources-4.14.9
which, I just found out, now seems to be masked).

I'd be glad for any hint about these issues. I spent all of this afternoon
trying to solve them and I can't really think what else I could try.

Thanks in advance

Stefano



Hmm, after googling it seems some of those Transformer models are not 
linux friendly. There are reports of no driver for the SD card reader 
and models earlier than yours needed firmware to use the sound card.


You might be able to use hints from:

https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Asus/T100TA

to get the sound working, even though the model is older than yours.

^ this is the key: autofs needs rpc support in glibc, which is going away with 
glibc-2.26. 

Sadly portage is extremely unhelpful here, since - if you look at the autofs 
ebuild - the problem goes away as soon as you switch its "libtirpc" useflag 
on:
libtirpc? ( net-libs/libtirpc )
!libtirpc? ( sys-libs/glibc[rpc(-)] )
(glibc-2.26 has no rpc useflag, and the (-) means it's treated as if it were 
switched off then.)

Indeed libtirpc is the modern replacement for the obsolete rpc support in 
glibc.

Anyway, I hope with the following commit this is now fixed:

Why is it trying to install the  version? Is that unmasked?

Are you running stable or testing?

What does "grep -r glibc /etc/portage" say?

I don't think you posted the command that started all of this?

Re: [gentoo-user] Help...can't decipher emerge oracle...

[Jan Chren (rindeal)]

Well, that's yet another problem, this time it's `autofs` package
which depends on glibc having `rpc` USE flag. glibc 2.26 lost this
USE-flag, however. Hopefully you can workaround this by enabling
`libtirpc` USE-flag for `autofs` package.

So the steps should be now:

1. put `net-fs/autofs libtirpc` into your `/etc/portage/package.use/...`
2. `emerge -1 autofs`
3. `emerge -1 ">=sys-libs/glibc-2.26"`
4. `emerge -1 libnsl`

Removing autofs certainly can't hurt.

Maybe try upgrading glibc and libnsl together.

Oh, I missed that the current libnsl has a blocker as well. In that
case try to do this:

```
emerge -C libnsl
emerge -1 ">=sys-libs/glibc-2.26"
emerge -1 libnsl
```

Hi Jan,

Trying what you suggest leads into this:

[Jan Chren (rindeal)]

net-libs/libnsl-1.1.0-r1 is blocking sys-libs/glibc versions lower
than 2.26 and you have sys-libs/glibc-2.25 installed. So try
installing glibc-2.26 manually first and then libnsl.

Re: [gentoo-user] help securing system / remote unlock

[Simon Perfer]

Thank you Neil. I had not seen that link.


I've had quite an uphill battle getting Dracut to work properly with a rather 
strange networking situation I have on a variety of servers.


I believe the "out of the box experience" I had was not leveraging dracut, 
though I could be wrong.


Does gentoolkit not support dracut?


My search skills must be failing me...is this really that uncommon of a use 
case? Can't seem to find much information around this topic.

Adding features to dracut seems quite simple according to Rich's blog
post.

Grant,

With shorewall it is quite easy. Ensure you have the blacklist enabled.
Then:
# shorewall block 1.2.3.4

Bingo.  When used with alan's list for abi_x86_32 (plus my small
addendum) portage is happy.

I'm not at that machine right now so I can't check what I have in 
package.use for "icu". You seem to have inconsistencies with USE="icu", 
perhaps gst-plugins-base wants it off and chromium wants it on.


You might need icu in USE globally.

Have you tried building with 'icu' use-flag for libxml2, the gstreamer
stuff and qtwebkit? Try e.g.

USE="icu" emerge --pretend net-im/skype

A container would work just as well, and uses WAY less RAM (and disk

Re: [gentoo-user] Help installing skype

A finite subset of this package.use file will let skype install,
followed of course by
emerge skype.

I arrived at this list the long hard way, repeatedly running emerge and
adding stuffs still portage stopped it's whinging. The worst part is Qt
and X11 as skype is a Qt app and no longer bundles a local copy of Qt.

I agree with Ralf, a small VM with Windows or an Ubuntu/Mint/whatever
appliance solely for use with skype is probably a better use of your
time. It's a huge PITA to keep abi_x86_32 under control and not bloat,
whereas a VM only needs disk space (cheap as dirt) and apt-get once a
fortnight or so.

Anyway, here's a package.use that works on a Plasma 5 system:

I am trying to convince the dept and/or systems group to ship me one of
their "loaner laptops" that has skype installed.

But I "promised" to try to install it on my main laptop (gentoo).
On a backup laptop I went to the skype website and picked up the generic
linux binary.  However it complained that I don't have the libraries it
needs, presumably because it wants /usr/lib32 and I have /usr/lib64.

Re: [gentoo-user] Help installing skype

[Ralf]

Hi,

I hate those tons of abi_x86_32 packages as well.

This is also not solving your slot conflict, but why not:
  - Use a Windows VM for Skype
  - Use a small Linux VM for Skype (e.g. Debian)
and just redirect your webcam.

In this way, you don't mess up your system with 32 bit libraries. And,
of course, you don't know what skype is internally doing as it is
proprietary software and not famous for no bugs/vulnerabilities.

Cheers

Re: [gentoo-user] Help installing skype

[Anton Shumskyi]

Hi=)
Can't really help with 32bit conflicts, I gave up on it since other
unofficial packages got broken.
But you can try workaround with disabled abi_x86_32, put skype ebuild to
your local overlay and remove all abi_x86_32 related in it. And it still
can fail=)
Or you can give a try to web.skype.com

Re: [gentoo-user] Help with obscure syntax in gsignal.h?

[Alex Thorne]

In this context I believe it's a bit shift operator. So 1  0 is 1 and 1
 1 is 2.

As for the  operator in C++...

The operator appears in C++ as the bitshift operator too. However, C++
supports operator overloading. This means that for custom data types (I.e.
classes), one can define how certain operators (including arithmetic and
logical operators) behave. This is done in a similar way to defining member
functions of a class. For example, one could overload the multiplication
operator * for a class 'Matrix' to implement correct matrix multiplication.

One operator overload which pervades the C++ standard library is the
'stream insertion operator'. For input and output streams such as the
standard output cout, the bitshift operators (,) have been redefined to
allow you to pass data to/from the stream.

This is arguably an abuse of notation and in general such confusing use of
operator overloading would be discouraged. However, in this case it is
perhaps justified since it provides a very convenient and intuitive way of
passing large numbers of objects of varying types to a stream such as cout.

Hope this helps clear things up.

Bit shift. gtk+ is written in C, so '' is always bit shifting. Enums 
are basically constants, and they're hardcoding the values so they can 
be OR'd together.

Hmmm, I'm not entirely sure how you must resolve this conflict.  Based on the
fact that there are no stable versions of dev-libs/libgudev left, I *think* you
just need to add the gudev USE flag to sys-fs/udev (which is unset by default),
which should then satisfy virtual/libgudev and thus resolve the conflict.

I've been getting these, too.  It isn't that complicated: some packages require
the currently installed version, whereas others can (again, *can*) pull in the
newer version.  In my case, I followed the recommendation in the error message
(which you failed to paste, or did you really not get it?) and passed
--backtrack=30 to emerge, after which portage managed to handle the conflict
gracefully by simply not trying to upgrade dev-haskell/text.

Why 5.16.1? that is the lowest version that is ~arch; your next sync and
update is going to want to upgrade it anyway.

Lots of things have been moving around in perl land, modules moving into
core etc etc. A proper world update takes care of all the necessary
blockers.

Or, seeing as you are going to remerge everything perl related anyway,
you might as well just undelete everything perl-related (keeping an
accurate list), and then merge the whole lot back

Ah, well, I'm not running ~arch anywhere and so not sure why my public

machine to match.

Yes. Perl surely is a PITA for the distro to maintain.

This kind of on-the-side bookkeeping is exactly what I'm trying to
avoid. But I do get your point. ;-)

Looks like I'm good to go, as perl is updating and perl-cleaner --all

I'm in for, mostly.

Re: [gentoo-user] Help running fsck on reiserfs lvm /var on production server?

[Alan McKinnon]

On 08/06/2013 23:37, Tanstaafl wrote:
 Hi everyone,
 
 What is best practice for doing this?
 
 If I reboot in single user mode, will my lvm volumes (ie, /var) be
 available for fsck'ing, or do I have to mount them first?
 
 The current problem started after a different problem required me to do
 a hard reset on the server - had to do with a mounted QNAP device being
 unavailable when I initiated a reboot, and everything just hung.
 
 Ever since I did this hard reset, the server hangs at unmounting /var.
 I've let it sit there for at least an hour, and it never goes past that.
 
 Then after I hard reset it, it fsck's /var partition again, maybe fixes
 minor problems very quickly, and everything works fine until I have to
 reboot or shutdown again.
 
 This became a major problem this weekend when we had one extended power
 outage (about 8 hours) yesterday evening, then another one (about 4
 hours) this morning right after I got everything back up and running
 from last nights outage.
 
 Anyway, I need to do this this weened if at all possible, so...
 
 Anyone have any pointers to detailed docs and or willing to hold my hand
 through this a little?


fsck'ing that filesystem should be no different from any other fsck - it
should find what it finds and fix what it can. The fs must be unmounted
of course which means you have to do it in single-user mode, or from
booting a rescue system (I prefer the second, I find it easier as none
of the production filesystems are required to be mounted).

fsck.resiserfs has several modes, IIRC there's --rebuild-tree or similar
that does an extensive checks but takes ages. I needed to do this 2 or 3
times when I was still using reiser. There's also an option to do not
writes if you want a sanity check first.

I'm not convinced a power outage broke the fs so that you now can't
umount it, I'm having a hard time imaging how that would happen. More
likely some other script file elsewhere is damaged and leaves files open
when the system wants to umount /var.

You have some options:

This requires considerable downtime, easily an hour or more. You can dd
/var somewhere to get a copy you can experiment on with another host. At
least you will then know how much downtime to schedule.

You should do a full check and repair on all filesystems to be 100% certain.

For the umount issues, that is trickier as you won't have log files in
/var after the fact. Any clues on the Alt-F12 console whilst shutting
down? Try configure your syslogger to send logs to another host, you
might be lucky enough to get some logs that way that describe what is
going on.

Hmmm

Admittedly, I don't reboot this system often, so maybe I'm 
misremembering when the problem crept in.


Could it be the NFS mount that it is hanging on, and unmounting/var is 
just that last thing showing on the screen?


I think I'll try manually unmounting that before rebooting the next time 
I need to(need to update the kernel soon anyway)...


I do know the last few times this has happened, the NFS mount was 
'unavailable' (the device had powered down without first unmounting it 
from the server)...


I hope that is all it is...

Ugh, NFS complicates things :-)

I have a similar thing with my notebook and NFS mounts at home, I often
forget to umount the NFS dirs, causing issues when I then go to work and
wake the machine up

If you have NFS in the mix, I'd certainly investigate that first before
getting into more complex things. Also check that your NFS and mount
stuff in /etc/init.d are doing the right thing in the right order with
both startup and shutdown

Yep, that bugger was it...

umounted the NFS mount and the reboot went smooth as silk.

symlink it to the later version, or copy the lib over from another

Then rebuild dev-libs/gmp and dont delete the lib!

I got bitten by this but only on one system - the file is supplied by

Check to make sure a gcc is selected:

gcc-config -l

Sometimes if a old version is removed the link is sort of left dangling 
in the wind.

Ah - gcc-config.  I did gcc-config -l, and it displayed 2 versions of
gcc.  Then I did gcc-config --help.  Then I did

gcc-config x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.5.3

How did you build your kernel? using genkernel or manually?

Can you load the modules manually?

Which version of baselayout are you using? Baselayout2, which has been in
stable for some time, uses /etc/conf.d/modules rather than the file you
used. If the handbook still contains baselayout1 advice, it's time for
someone to raise a bug report.

Oh sorry, I have forgotten to tell that I am using the girara branch,
which uses plugins and depends only on girara libs, it should be
fixed to have that, but I did not bother to do it previously as I had
all the dependencies tracked by hand.

I have EGIT_BRANCH=girara in '/etc/portage/env/app-text/zathura'.


 And have you tried using libjpeg instead of the -turbo version?

This is were I was wondering as well, but did not have chance to check
it. Also, Arch guys are using the turbo version and I was thinking
that it should not be an issue, but I will try and see whether it also
does not work with non turbo version.

 Hello list,
 
 I was wondering if someone could explain me what ebuild provides the
 jpeg_resync_to_restart() function as when I try to run a pdf using a
 zathura-pdf-mupdf plugin, it gives me the following error:
 ---
 error: could not load plugin /usr/lib/zathura/pdf.so
 (/usr/lib/zathura/pdf.so: undefined symbol: jpeg_resync_to_restart)
 ---
 
 I was told that it might be a problem with the libjpeg-turbo, but I
 have tried both versions (1.1.0 and 1.1.1) and it did not affect
 anything. I was wondering whether there are some compilation options,
 which I am not aware of?
 
 Alternatively, the problem might lie in my lack of knowledge in
 writing ebuilds. You can find my ebuild on [1], whereas a known
 version of AUR PKGBUILD can be found on [2].  Could someone, ideally
 familiar with both GNU/Linux Distributions, explain me what I am doing
 wrong?

The latest zathura ebuild in portage has,

  RDEPEND==x11-libs/cairo-1.8.8
  =dev-libs/glib-2.22.4:2
  =x11-libs/gtk+-2.18.6:2
  =app-text/poppler-0.12.3[cairo]
  DEPEND=${RDEPEND}
  dev-util/pkgconfig


How come you only have the following?

  RDEPEND==app-text/mupdf-0.8

  DEPEND=${RDEPEND}
  dev-util/pkgconfig

And have you tried using libjpeg instead of the -turbo version?

 Yes, but the lower case b means that portage will resolve the block for
 you. The only reason it has stopped after reporting the block is that
 you used -p.

 Only blocks marked with a B require manual intervention.

Thanks to everybody else who answered, too.

 It seems that emerge is using the old vte version rather than the one
 it's about to install.  In this case, can I just emerge vte by hand
 first?

Does portage solve that blocking or not?
What says emerge -auND ? Can you go on with emerge or not?

Normaly portage solves that by uninstalling the old version before
installing the new one.

Isn't that a thing that only the masked portage 2.2 does? I guess Alan stll

 one it's about to install.  In this case, can I just emerge vte by

unmerge vte and re-run the original emerge, prevents accidental 
clutter of world and saves time

or better:

unmask portage and install 2.2_some_huge_number_alpha,
ignore what your instincts tell you about rc and alpha - a project 
that hit 100 -rc versions and is now on 41 alphas is probably abusing 
the terms :-)

Recent portage just knows how to deal with these blockers and just 
does what it needs to do to make it work.

That may be possible, I run unstable portage 2.2 without any problem (a
few surprises from time to time, but no problems) for so long that I
have totaly lost the knowlege what from 2.2 is backported now and what not.

But then, emerge -C vte  emerge -1 vte should do the trick.
