And the messages coming with libxcb just don't help. revdep-rebuild doesn't help either. And one cannot remerge the broken packages either, since there configure bails out. Oh dear, Gentoo !

According to the upgrade guide, that was not supposed to happen. The fix was easy though; I just ran revdep-rebuild at this point (not many packages needed a rebuild, I guess having --as-needed in my LDFLAGS saved the day) and then I repeated the command, finally deleted /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so* and everything was fine. One other slight breakage was revdep-rebuild wanting to rebuilt the same package over and over again. If revdep-rebuild wants to repeatedly rebuild a package, you have to unmerge that package first and then re-run revdep-rebuild; only then will you see the final packages that need to be rebuild (in my case, kde-base/systemsettings). Of course, rebooting the machine before finishing all of this is not a good idea. -- 42

With eix you can search for the exact match with the -e option :

Hi all,
Is it possible to have in emerge something similar to the -k option
of make ?
-k, --keep-going
Continue as much as possible after an error. While the
target that failed, and those that depend on it, cannot be remade, the
other dependencies of these targets can be processed all the same.
Hi,
you can try something like this :
in your .bashrc, add :
skipmerge(){
emerge --resume --skipfirst || skipmerge
}
then source your bashrc and try : emerge -auvDN world || skipmerge
that should work.
regards,
Boris.
It would be particularly useful when emerging world, system or
multiple packages, some of which have broken ebuilds.

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge -pvuND world versus emerge -pveuND world

When my system is up to date emerge -pvuND world shows me: emerge -pvuND world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating world dependencies... done! Total size of downloads: 0 kB Which is normal because an up to date system doesn't have to download anything. But when i add the emptytree option emerge -pveuND world i get this (output reduced): emerge -pveuND world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: ...

Total size of downloads: 164 kB So why are there appearing some apps now for which portage has to download something? Using eix on sys-devel/binutils and net-dialup/ppp tells me that i have exactly those ebuilds listed above installed. I think that there have been made changes to this ebuild without increasing the version number. For example binutils from 2.16.1-r3 to 2.16.1-r4. So portage doesn't upgrade this package although there have been changes. Or is there a portage option i don't know until now which i have to use for getting this apps updated. Am i guessing right in any of this cases or is this another problem with portage? Maybe is that only minor changes like build-fix patches... For example, let's say you've a x86 system and a package foobar-1.0 compiles just fine on your system but not on amd64. If developper provides a patch to make foobar-1.0 compile fine on amd64 he might not change the ebuild version number because the bug was blocking the update and the amd64 users *will* notice the changes. And the x86 won't have to recompile the soft just in order to apply an *unneeded* patch... (IMHO) regards, Boris.

Re: [gentoo-user] hello
2006/9/7, John Newman [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I have what is probably a stupid question. I run an amd64 gentoo system. I find that lots of packages have in their KEYWORDS amd64~. Up until now, to remedy this when I want to attempt to use one of these packages, I simply edit the ebuild, regenerate the digest, and do the installation. I feel sure there is an easier way around this - I've read somewhere of being able to tell the system that I am not worried about packages that haven't been tested on amd64 (thus the amd64~) - does anyone know what file I need to edit and in what way to make this work so I don't have to go through the hassle described above of editing the ebuild, regenerating the digest and then installing the package? thank you so much Hi, That's really ugly, have a look here : http://gentoo-wiki.com/Masked HTH.

Re: [gentoo-user] Strange feature in eix

If I type eix package and the package is unstable (or has unstable versions) and appears as such in the gentoo database, I expect to see it -for the unstable versions- in eix's output: the man page says so anyway; but this happens only if I have not marked the package with ~x86 in *my* /etc/portage/package.keywords file. If I mark the package (with ~x86) eix tells me : * app-editors/emacs-cvs Available versions: 22.0.50-r1 22.0.50-r2 [M]23.0.0 Installed: 22.0.50-r2 Homepage:http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs Description: Emacs is the extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor. and this is a *big lie* (works with any package apparently). Or is it intended? Hi, add LOCAL_PORTAGE_CONFIG=false in /etc/eixrc and try again !

Re: [gentoo-user] accelerate emerge
2006/2/27, El Nino [EMAIL PROTECTED]: AybOwan! is there a way to accelerate the fetching part of emerge by using prozilla or some other tool? Hi, if you want to use prozilla, just change the FETCHCOMMAND and RESUMECOMMAND in /etc/make.conf There is some examples in /etc/make.conf.example, but not for prozilla ... HTH.

Re: [gentoo-user] missing languages - gdm - amd64
2006/2/24, Pongracz Istvan [EMAIL PROTECTED]: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I installed an AMD64 system and I expected that, in the GDM login manager I only have a few languages, what I can choose, but my local language is missing (Hungarian). Comparing it to my laptop (x86) I have tons of languages. I was digging in the google, but I have no solution. I would like to ask that, how can I add more languages to my system, especially to Gnome and KDE. Thank you for your help.

Or do I have to use x86 installation profile? Hi, just use the amd64 default profile (the mutilib one), then you'll be able to run 32bits softwares too ! Not entirely true. When I first got my amd64 box, I did just that and was horribly disappointed. While most things worked, there were a number of show stoppers so to speak: Konqueror couldn't play flash movies because while Konqueror compiled just fine as 64-bit, flash is only available in 32bit. If I wanted to see Flash, I had to use a binary version of Firefox. Worse though was the fact that none of the win32codecs were available so I couldn't watch any wmv, wma or other binary-only formats. Sadly, if you want to be able to use stuff typically used for the Windows world, you have to conform to that world's handicapps, which means making do with 32bits for now. What jarry wants is to run precompiled 32bits applications, which should work with the multilib profile. But I agree iwth some points, you can't use a 32bits plugin with a 64bits application, that's why I've installed mozilla-firefox-bin, mplayer-bin ... regards, Boris. -- It is sort of puzzling I think that you can have 100 percent certainty about the weapons of mass destruction's existence, and zero certainty about where they are. - Hans Blix, Chief UN weapons inspector in Iraq before the American occupation -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- Quiconque me parle de Dieu en veut à ma bourse ou à ma liberté. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] chroot: cannot run command `bin/bash': Exec format error
2006/2/23, Bo Andresen [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi Hi, I have just purchased a new computer with a AMD Semphron 2800+ 64 bit processor. I am installing it following the gentoo handbook of the amd64 architecture - only I am using the x86 minimal livecd (2005-r1) and the stage3-amd64-2005.1-r1.tar.bz2 tarball. Shouldn that be a problem? When I get to step 6a (chrooting) http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1chap=6#doc_chap1 I get the following error: livecd gentoo # chroot /mnt/gentoo bin/bash chroot: cannot run command `bin/bash': Exec format error You'll have to boot on a 64bits liveCD if you want to chroot into a 64bits environment.
