[gentoo-user] python-2.7 update: re-emerge of cracklib failed, how can I fix it?

2011-03-27 Thread Jarry

Hi,
apparently I screwed something during python update, and now
I can not fix my system. This is what I did:

emerge --sync
emerge --ask --update --deep --newuse world

At the end, I have seen:
You should run 'python-updater ${options}' to rebuild Python modules.

So I did, then emerge --depclean, and that was my mistake:
python2.6 has been unmerged before I switched to python2.7.
Im just surprised python2.6 has been unmerged, when it was
still active and selected python version.

Then by revdep-rebuild I got a lot of error-messages and
at that time I realised something got wrong.

Then I switched to python2.7 (eselect python set python2.7),
and tried revdep-rebuild again. Two packages needed to be
emerged again: libxstl and cracklib. The first got emerged
without a problem, but for cracklib emerge failed with
this messages:

Thanks, this work! So it seems to me, the right procedure is:
1. emerge --update...
2. eselect python set python2.7
3. python-updater ${options}
4. emerge --depclean
5. revdep-rebuild

My mistake was I forgot to run 2

Agreed, revdep last. I always run depclean with pretend first. If depclean
wants to remove key packages like python, i will often just remove all the
others it has identified manually rather than running it again without
pretend. I also use buildsyspkg.

 OK let's ignore the mail server portion. Your basically implying
 that encrypted mail handling from the server, does not matter if
 it's an exchange server, or *nix, like postfix
 
 As an example.
 Look at the situation where a person is using only MS technology
 and has no access to support(input) on their client software nor the
 MS exchange server (big corp for example that assumes the world
 only uses MS software). Maybe they can make a few setting changes
 only in Outlook to get encryption working between a MS (Outlook)
 system and my Gentoo system using pgp and thunderbird?

Depending on the MSWindows OS and email client versions your MS counterpart 
can try installing and running: 

http://www.gpg4win.org/about.html

Alternatively, instead of OpenPGP you can use S/MIME certificates - either 
self-signed or from a aheam! reputable Certification Authority.  I prefer 
the former where possible, although the average MSWindows user would struggle 
on their own to even click a (single) button, let alone generate 
public/private keys, configure a password and then negotiate with the 
MSWindows certificate manager to accept them.

gpg4win will also act as the front for managing the MSWindows S/MIME certs, 
although Outlook can manage these for SSL signing/encryption natively.

The SSL certificates offered by different CAs are mostly an expensive racket 
for big corporate clients.  Individual users are limited to a few available 
CAs (like CACert, Comodo, etc) who issue free certificates for personal 
(email) use, but only some of the browsers include them in their store of 
trusted CAs - hence the need for manual import of Root CA keys, etc in the 
user's browser/certificate store and of course the same with the recipients of 
their email messages.

Before you commit to a CA check which browsers and OS already included these 
in their trusted Root CA store.


  If may answer has nothing to do with your problem, please give me more
  information what you have in mind.
 
 I do not have a problem. I have assumed that encrypted mail between
 a given client software on a gentoo system, will not work with windows.
 Is this assumption incorrect?

Yes, this is an incorrect assumption.  OpenPGP will not work with MSWindows 
natively without a 3rd party application (e.g. gpg4win), because OpenPGP does 
not satisfy the requirements of Microsoft's monopolistic business model.

However, SSL certificates will work natively with MSWindows and its Outlook 
email client.  As I said above you have a choice of obtaining such 
certificates:  self-signed or signed by trusted Root CAs (some of which are 
free for personal use).

Also, in the era of Cloud computing you have the choice of webmail 
applications (like Horde) which can use both PGP and S/MIME to 
sign/encrypt/decrypt messages, thus bypassing limitations of given OS or 
desktop based mail clients.

Finally, you have SaaS solutions for secure email, like 
http://www.hushmail.com/ but if one does not trust Root CAs why would he trust 
some hushmail company and its employees is beyond me.


 Or it's just install whatever I want (mail client on gentoo) and it will
 auto-magically exchange encrypted mail with outlook on  a windows machine,
 behind a MS Exchange server, regardless of what the MS admins
 do on their side?

Yes, as long as you manage encryption/decryption at the dekstop.  You need to 
note though that some corporate IM policies may prohibit the use of encrypted 
messages.  These can be filtered out by the corporate mail server and stopped.


 I assumed that is not that easy (my default experience with MS),
 and things have to be coordinated, like most MS issues, to be
 able to exchange encrypted mail between a gentoo and MS workstation
 
 Nothing to it, or massive issues on the MS side? Obviously,
 making changes on the gentoo workstation client, is easy
 What I would really like is to be able to exchange encrypted mail
 with any MS user.  That, I'm sure with entail pointing them to
 documents on how to set up the software on the MS (outlook) side.
 Links for MS help?

They do not need to look at Internet links - just ask them look up digital 
signing or encryption in their Outlook help pages.

Configuring Outlook is the easy part.  The more confusing part might be 
obtaining an S/MIME certificate and importing the Root CA certificate if it is 
not already included in whatever Microsoft ships with.  I think that Comodo 
Root CA is already included (and the recently hacked Root CA certificate has 
not been recalled through last week's MSWindows update).

Hello Mick,

Exactly what I was looking for. Not just the part I included, but
your entire answer. Gmane get'[s fussy about including too much
previous text in responses. Sure, I've set up numerous email clients,
like Thunderbird and such on doze systems before (encryption or not); that's
a no-brainer. Outlook in a rigid corporate environment without the 
admin's help on that side. interesting. If their spam filters
are too aggressive, it will most likely quarantine the incoming encrypted
files. A program of encryption, but makes files look like text to
spam filters, would be keen, but most likely crackable, due to the
limited char_set? Never tried this but hey, there is ALWAYS a way
to skin the cat...

But I have never tried to help an ordinary Outlook user get encryption working,
so as to exchange encrypted email, with their linux bretheran without their
Admin's involvement. Most admins at corps do not care, but they are understaffed
and only support what they support. So you have articulated some options where I
can help a generic corporate user setup and use encryption, without their
admin's involvement, which I guess is what I did not clearly explain in previous
posts, as the goal all along, using Outlook or other
MS based applications.

THANKS; for sharing your knowledge and view of the landscape.
I've got it from here.

 They are
 automatically added. If they are correctly rebuilt then they shouldn't
 need to be added a second time, correct? However they are. (Over and
 over...)

 Basically, it is my understanding that if everything is correctly
 updated then on the second pass it should say there's nothing to do,
 right?

 If it can determine that that's the case, yes. Packages are added
 manually because python-updater cannot tell for sure whether they should
 be rebuilt this time. That's certainly true for ooo-bin and boost, lnd
 prevented by -dmanual. app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs seems
 different, I've just been hit by this one, so I ignored it after the

Fair enough. I'm also seeing Virtualbox as shown above.

Thanks for the info. I've done the python-updater steps too many times
now and from now on will basically do it just once and after that take
what it says with a grain of salt.

Hi All,

See output below.  I understand what this is telling me.  However, the 
issue is if I unmask libkexiv2 and kipi-plugins, I get further messages 
about some other kde package that is masked by ~x86 keyword.  And this 
goes on continuously.


If I do emerge --pretend --update --deep --skip-first world, the second 
set of output is provided and this causes other problems - for instance, 
there are a whole whack of packages that depend on gettext.


I haven't been able to update my system in well over a month.  I keep 
hoping a sync will somehow miraculously correct my problem.


Anyone have any ideas how to get around this?

Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with python-updater ?

2011-03-27 Thread JM
I would look at python 3 - I couldn't emerge until only 2.6 was active. I
don't know how but on the new machine I set up, python3 was selected as
active, I set it back to 2.6 and everything was fine.  From the output I can
see there is a version of python 3 active. Maybe a red herring, if so, I
apologies :)

When I had the problem I went on irc and it was suggested that I do a
revdep-rebuild which I did also.

 That seems a bit odd but it depends on what you have installed.  I have KDE
 on mine and it is in the process of rebuilding a little over 50 packages.
  Most of them are small except for OOo.  Natuarally when anything gets
 updated that monster has to be recompiled.  lol  If you have KDE, I would
 think it would rebuild more than that.  Also, it seems most of mine is
 @system packages.  I would not reboot or logout yet just to be safe.

 Anyone notice it wants to rebuild a binary on the OPs system?  Hmmm.

According to my local portage mirror, kipi-plugins-1.9.0 is currently
~x86. There's probably a stray line in
your /etc/portage/package.keywords which unmasks kipi-plugins-1.9.0.
The latest stable is kipi-plugins-1.2.0-r3 which is happy with
libkexiv2-4.4.5-r1, which in turn is stable for x86.

 Hello Mick,
 
 Exactly what I was looking for. Not just the part I included, but
 your entire answer. Gmane get'[s fussy about including too much
 previous text in responses. Sure, I've set up numerous email clients,
 like Thunderbird and such on doze systems before (encryption or not);
 that's a no-brainer. Outlook in a rigid corporate environment without the
 admin's help on that side. interesting. If their spam filters
 are too aggressive, it will most likely quarantine the incoming encrypted
 files. A program of encryption, but makes files look like text to
 spam filters, would be keen, but most likely crackable, due to the
 limited char_set? Never tried this but hey, there is ALWAYS a way
 to skin the cat...
 
 But I have never tried to help an ordinary Outlook user get encryption
 working, so as to exchange encrypted email, with their linux bretheran
 without their Admin's involvement. Most admins at corps do not care, but
 they are understaffed and only support what they support. So you have
 articulated some options where I can help a generic corporate user setup
 and use encryption, without their admin's involvement, which I guess is
 what I did not clearly explain in previous posts, as the goal all along,
 using Outlook or other
 MS based applications.
 
 THANKS; for sharing your knowledge and view of the landscape.
 I've got it from here.

Glad I could help James.  :-)

Before you start helping remotely MSWindows users I recommend you install 
MSWindows in a virtual machine (e.g. virtualbox-bin will take only a few 
minutes) and configure the OS and mail client to send and receive 
signed/encrypted messages as preferred.  Otherwise, you may quickly run 
aground when the corporate users technical knowledge stops them configuring 
their machines as necessary.

PS.  Some corporate set ups will have the MS Windows SSL certificate store 
settings access blocked for normal users.  In that case only MSWindows 
recognised S/MIME Root CAs will be usable without warnings.  As far as I 
recall Comodo is recognised.

 with using binary packages on a source distro than a fault of
 python-updater itself.

Understood and agreed. For OO I couldn't quite get up the interest to
start building from scratch though. Something like 450MB of things to
download and then what, do it again in a week or two? Not worth it for

Thanks for all the insights. I do appreciate your inputs.

That shouldn't be a problem with the release frequency of OOo, with LO
that's more of a problem.

At least with OOo/LO you get a better program for the effort of
compiling, the open source version of VirtualBox is crippled :(

Re: [gentoo-user] Re: encrypted email (gentoo-windows)

2011-03-27 Thread JM
Hi - if you want to be able to send encrypted email from a linux machine
that a person using a windows machine can de-crypt and read securely, the
simplest way is to use the Gpg4win (for the windows machine) which
incorporates Claws Mail (a port of a linux email client which is also
available on Gentoo). Claws mail is in Portage. So at the simplest level, if
you install the Claws email on your linux box, along with a pgp encryption
tool (I think it's called Gpg, not 100% sure what the Portage package is,
but any pgp encryption tool will probably work, it may already be built in
to Claws), then advise your windows recipients to install Gpg4win (google
it) which is a windows package which includes Claws mail, you will be able
to exchange encrypted emails securely between linux and windows recipients.
On the windows machine, the Gpg4win package will encrypt  decrypt email,
you will only need to find a gpg related tool for the linux machine in order
to encrypt your emails on it before sending them. I'm not really sure what
gpg uses, it may well use pgp encryption which is standard and there will be
a tool in Portage which can encrypt and decrypt email using pgp (or at least
one to encrypt and decrypt any file which can then be forwarded by email).

TBH - the encryption side of it is really OS independent, but using Gpg4win
on windows and any linux email client which supports pgp encryption /
signing should give you what you are looking for (Gpg=Gnu Privacy Guard).
You will just need to double check that whatever you use on the linux side,
is compatible with Gpg.

 OK let's ignore the mail server portion. Your basically implying
 that encrypted mail handling from the server, does not matter if
 it's an exchange server, or *nix, like postfix

 As an example.
 Look at the situation where a person is using only MS technology
 and has no access to support(input) on their client software nor the
 MS exchange server (big corp for example that assumes the world
 only uses MS software). Maybe they can make a few setting changes
 only in Outlook to get encryption working between a MS (Outlook)
 system and my Gentoo system using pgp and thunderbird?


  If may answer has nothing to do with your problem, please give me more
  information what you have in mind.

 I do not have a problem. I have assumed that encrypted mail between
 a given client software on a gentoo system, will not work with windows.
 Is this assumption incorrect?

 Or it's just install whatever I want (mail client on gentoo) and it will
 auto-magically exchange encrypted mail with outlook on  a windows machine,
 behind a MS Exchange server, regardless of what the MS admins
 do on their side?

 I assumed that is not that easy (my default experience with MS),
 and things have to be coordinated, like most MS issues, to be
 able to exchange encrypted mail between a gentoo and MS workstation

 Nothing to it, or massive issues on the MS side? Obviously,
 making changes on the gentoo workstation client, is easy
 What I would really like is to be able to exchange encrypted mail
 with any MS user.  That, I'm sure with entail pointing them to
 documents on how to set up the software on the MS (outlook) side.
 Links for MS help?

 ???
 A general discussion at this point, not a specific solution.
 My googling only reveals dated discussions along these lines
 or information that is not useful.

You can allow it to install the masked packages by typing:

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge --update --deep world (you can also use
--keep-going, instead of --skip-first and it will try and continue when it
finds errors).

Actually, you can only use ~x86 if you are using an i686 or whatever (no
good for amd or other arch's).

Some correct me if I'm wrong, or have I misunderstood the problem?

[gentoo-user] sys-forensics/chkrootkit finds INFECTED binaries on ~amd64

2011-03-27 Thread walt

I just got an email from cron on my ~amd64 machine, containing these lines:

Checking 'find'... INFECTED
Checking 'netstat'... INFECTED

Took me a few minutes to deduce that sys-forensics/chkrootkit was the source
of those messages.  I ran chkrootkit manually and found the same messages in
the output.

I then nervously re-emerged findutils and net-tools, but chkrootkit again found
the same binaries to be INFECTED.

Running chkrootkit on my ~x86 machine turns up no such infections even though
the same packages are installed on both machines.

Anyone have any insight into how chkrootkit works, or why the different results?

Or, can anyone reproduce my problem?

Thanks.




[gentoo-user] Persistent modification time in the future

2011-03-27 Thread Alexey Mishustin
Hello,

I performed the system update today (emerge -uND @world), and now I get  errors 
One of the files in /etc/{conf.d,init.d} or /etc/rc.conf has a modification 
time in the future! at boot.

If I do
touch /tmp/tmp.file
find /etc -newer /tmp/temp.file

I get
/etc/
/etc/adjtime
/etc/mtab

Then I do
ls -l / | grep etc

and get
drwxr-xr-x 42 root root 4096 Mar 28 2011 etc

Evidently, there is no time of modification that should be the reason of the 
error.

There is the same situation with /etc/adjtime and /etc/mtab (no time).

I tried to do
find /etc -newer /tmp/temp.file -exec touch {} \;

But it doesn't help. Dates appear but only till I reboot. After reboot I get 
the same error and the same three elements - /etc/, /etc/adjtime, /etc/mtab - 
have no time of modification anymore.

What can be the problem?

During the system update I updated 3 packages: dev-libs/mpfr, 
media-fonts/dejavu, sys-apps/util-linux, recompiled 2: sys-apps/groff, 
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources (added some flags), emerged mailx.

Okay, I see your point.  I don't make a habit of unmasking packages.  
However, as stated in my previous message, I can't get past the kde ~x86 
updates to update other packages that might have valid stable updates.  
I don't care if kde updates to an unstable version, I would just like to

If I do emerge --pretend --update --deep --skip-first world, the second
set of output is provided and this causes other problems - for instance,
there are a whole whack of packages that depend on gettext.

I haven't been able to update my system in well over a month.  I keep
hoping a sync will somehow miraculously correct my problem.

Anyone have any ideas how to get around this?

penguinchick ~ # emerge --pretend --update --deep world

 What's the output of:

OK, So it's not that. And you are running a stable (x86) system.

In your case, unstable kipi-plugins is trying to install unstable libkexiv2.
It's normally digikam that pulls in kipi-plugins, so we need to find out why.

You might have once installed an unstable digikam to try some new feature,
so grep -r for digikam and kipi-plugins in /etc/portage.

If that doesn't reveal the problem, time for big guns:

emerge -pvuNDt world

will show what is pulling those unstable versions in. But whatever you do, don't
do a ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge ... to try and resolve it. That will
install even more unstable packages and make the problem worse. You need to
find the unwanted unstable package you already have and downgrade it .

Have you tried to trace back through the list of depends to see
exactly what kicks this off?

equery depends kipi-plugins

should tell you exactly which packages are trying to pull this in.
When you get a list of programs then you try to trace those back, one
at a time, looking for what program/use flag combo is causing this.

All my machines are 64-bit so I don't use ~x86. Looking at eix there
does seem to be a stable version of kipi-plugins so determining if and
why you are trying to get the testing version is clearly the issue.

 What, you've never received an encrypted email from a windows user 
 before? If you think about it, surely you have...
 
 I know ms is pretty bad about standards and interoperability, but 
 pgp or gpg encrypted mail is relatively common on win, *nix, and 
 os x. Pretty sure the problem you're trying to solve doesn't exist.
 

Outlook uses S/MIME rather than PGP. If this user is used to being
part of a normal Windows domain infrastructure with PKI and they haven't
set up their system properly then it would appear that they cannot
exchange encrypted mail with an MS user.

  That will update every package to the latest ~x86 version, and cause
  them all to downgrade again the next time you emerge world. As this
  includes packages that are both critical and hate being downgraded,
  like glibc, this is a really bad idea.
 
  You would have to really hate someone to want to put them through
  this.  
 
 Okay, I see your point.  I don't make a habit of unmasking packages.  
 However, as stated in my previous message, I can't get past the kde
 ~x86 updates to update other packages that might have valid stable
 updates. I don't care if kde updates to an unstable version, I would
 just like to get past it so I can see what else needs to be updated.
 

The command suggested would only switch KDE to testing, it would switch
your whole system, a step that is extremely difficult to reverse without
reinstallation.

If you can't find a culprit in /etc/portage, as already suggested, try
renaming that directory and running .emerge -puDN world to see if it still
happens. Stable packages shouldn't depend on testing packages so either
you have a setting in /etc/portage that is causing this or a buggy ebuild.

Another possibility is that this is caused by something in an overlay,
which you can quickly test by commenting out any OVERLAY or layman
entries in make.conf.

Re: [gentoo-user] python-2.7 python-updater

2011-03-27 Thread Adam Carter

  Understood and agreed. For OO I couldn't quite get up the interest to
  start building from scratch though. Something like 450MB of things to
  download and then what, do it again in a week or two? Not worth it for
  my needs.


Did you delete the source out of your /usr/portage/distfiles directory? If
not, it will still be there and you wont have to download it again.


 That shouldn't be a problem with the release frequency of OOo, with LO
 that's more of a problem.

 At least with OOo/LO you get a better program for the effort of
 compiling, the open source version of VirtualBox is crippled :(

 FWIW I hit an unresolved build bug in OO (which had previously built ok, so
was triggered by an update in another package), so I switched to LO which
didnt have the issue.
