Re: [gentoo-user] emerge world, Python, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9

Is 3.8 around for a while or are we kicking over to 3.9 in the next week or so? In other words, is it worth doing the 3.8 upgrade or waiting for 3.9? Thoughts greatly appreciated, Andrew I'm going on the assumption that waiting might save some compile time, but the headaches, including remembering what and what not to update yet, are not worth the effort. You might get a better feel by reading the relevant posts in the dev mailing list, but my sense is there is no reason to expect the next switch to move any more quickly than this one. Jack

Here is a snippet: ...hope that helps. In the future, please attach your command line and full output. Did that answer your question? Seriously, though, aside from complete output (if it is long it probably will compress nicely), if you are getting errors and can't proceed try reducing the scope of the build (such as just @system). It isn't actually clear if emerge was able to resolve the block or not from the trimmed output.

The answer that question is the same as the answer to yours. It looks like you have gone a long time without updating, so if you hit problems, and you do have one block there, a simple "emerge --ask @system" /may/ be a better place to start. I'd also drop -v from the invocation as it is the main cause of your "spurious debugging/tracing info". emerge is verbose enough on its own and will give you plenty of feedback if something isn't quite right, -v just buries the important information in noise. -- Neil Bothwick Time is an illusion but never so much as when you're using a modem. pgpnX1vyMiMWq.pgp Description: OpenPGP digital signature

However, I did want to point out something else. Gentoo isos don't actually contain any packages. They're nothing more than boot disks. You can install Gentoo from an Ubuntu iso as easily as from a Gentoo iso, and the Gentoo isos don't even boot on EFI. The software is all in the stage3. However, I wouldn't really try to overwrite your install with a stage3 at this point as it doesn't actually look like you have any serious problems. You just need to do a bit of housecleaning. And a note to everybody else on the list: take it easy on the poor guy. People used to other distros are used to doing things like blowing away their installs every other year with a fresh install. Release-based distros get people used to this kind of nonsense, and the idea that FOSS comes on a shiny DVD. Portage's error messages don't always help in this regard. Of course any Gentoo user has to be willing to take the time to learn some of the nuts and bolts to keep things running, but when it is obvious somebody doesn't understand what they're doing we can educate rather than just point it out. -- Rich

I wondered if there are some very new ISO's that would contain all major changes in last year or so once I got the core installed and key useflags/make.conf setup? That's not the way Gentoo works - (what was that I was saying about forgetting things?). The Gentoo ISO is really just an installation environment to boot up into, one with enough power for you to be able to download and install a stage 3 into which you reboot, then really get going with configuring the system, and installing further stuff, etc. All the new stuff from the last few months is in portage (which you get with $ emerge --sync, and so on). Can anyone advise me which iso to use? And which profile to set for general use in a vbox, hopefully to allow a `no sweat' emerge to a full OS. Painful though it might seem, I'd suggest you go back to the Gentoo handbook and do a bit of revision. It's been moved to the Gentoo wiki at https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:Main_Page. I'd recommend you then just to reinstall. Remembering my fights with stupid error messages from emerge, and so on, I wish I'd just reinstalled months earlier than I did. Whatever you end up doing, all the best! -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).

Release-based distros get people used to this kind of nonsense, and the idea that FOSS comes on a shiny DVD. Portage's error messages don't always help in this regard. Of course any Gentoo user has to be willing to take the time to learn some of the nuts and bolts to keep things running, but when it is obvious somebody doesn't understand what they're doing we can educate rather than just point it out. That's fine, we could all be a bit nicer. That said, if someone wants a distro that is fast and easy to install (which is perfectly valid to want; I use plenty of them on a daily basis), it is important to point out that Gentoo is neither fast nor extremely easy to install.

I'm thinking better to install from scratch with latest ISO. I know the feeling. When the same thing happened to me (my system got into a mess because I was running XFCE which was too dependent on gnome-2; when gnome-3 became stable, the demons of hades were let loose, and I tried a couple of times, half-heartedly, to update), I told myself to stop and think. I could spend days fighting with use flags and conflicts, or I could spend a few days reinstalling. In the end I reinstalled (using the old system (rather than an ISO image) to do the initial stages. It took me about a week, compared with about a month the first time I seriously installed Gentoo. Installation here means getting everything up and running, including X with destop manager, printing, sound, email server and client, At first glance it does look like maybe a reinstall would be better. But in this case, that's not true. Looking over the list of packages to be updated, there are 3 general classes of things: 1. Regular updates 2. A whole whack of rebuilds 3. A perl upgrade from 5.20 to 5.22 #1 is routine. Press enter, and make does it's thing #2 looks scary, but in the old days we'd have to do the updates then let revdep-rebuild catch the inconsistencies, and rebuild those. Modern portage has some magic code to fold everything into the main emerge world step. So just press Enter and make does it's thing #3 can be very confusing. With 5.22, upstream moved many Perl packages into the core Perl codebase, so all such installed packages (and all of us have many of them) need to uninstall perl-core/package and replace it with virtual/perl-package. Portage normally deals with this transparently, but the output can be a little too verbose sometimes, and takes some decent brainpower to figure out what is really going on. There's also some blockers in that list ([blocks b ]), but they are all soft (lower case b) so portage should take those in it's stride and just fix it with no intervention. Harry's real problem as many have noted is that his gcc config is not valid. But, portage can't tell him that. It started the merge, and handed control over to the next app, which portage can't make sense of as it all happened outside portage's control. Result: a wall of text on the screen, right after the wall of text of 195 things to be rebuilt and a huge list of stuff causing other stuff to be needed to be rebuilt! I suppose those ebuilds that are sensitive to gcc versions could have a check built in to check the version before starting and then print a sane error message that portage CAN control and make sense of. Either way, gcc-config -l is what Harry needs to run first, and make his default compiler 4.7 or later. With that out of the way, emerge should proceed normally apart from taking a while to get through it. He might have perl issues afterwards and need to run perl-cleaner. The real problem is how do I know all this, and Harry did spot it? Well, building a source distro comes in at a much lower level than a binary one, and it does take a good large dose of experience, knowledge and plain old luck to figure out what is really going on. These days portage is very good at doing the right thing (it still sucks at a human level in it's output...) and today Harry just got really unlucky. So yeah, reinstall is probably not the better option here. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com

Do we just stop looping, wait until someone may one day fix the ebuild, and then try again never knowing when things will be correct again? I had a problem show up last evening after I thought everything was done. I went back for one last revdep-rebuild and then it decided to tell me that there were wine libraries on the machine unowned by any installed package. Now this machine hasn't had Wine on it in over a year so I cannot understand why it would start telling me that today but it did. It seems to me that expensive or not it would be great to have a tool that completely checked every single library on the machine if that's what it takes. I thought revdep-rebuild was doing that but now I'm not so sure. Cheers, Mark

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge world failing with No module name libxml2
Sorry for the slow reply. I was expecting more people interested in sharing their insights into updating old, ancient-grade dinosaur systems. :) On 10/20/08, Brian Wince [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So the -I ignores the versions of packages installed and just fixes packages broken by a python upgrade, independent of the version? Yes, I'd think for example in terms of the difference between emerge foo and emerge =foo-1.2.3. AFAICT, python-updater does the latter by default, but with the -i option it is given a permission to do the former within a slot. Since most packages only have a single slot, the within a slot becomes irrelevant for them. I understand that slots can be used to install different versions of an app but not sure how that relates to python-updater. Sorry if I lead you too much into this slot territory. The slots are more of a red herring here, or just a small, distracting detail. For most packages slots won't matter. But there are the few, like qt, for which it is important to keep within a slot. Therefore it is nice that helpful scripts, like python-updater, try to provide automagic support for the slotting related stuff where it is needed. Still, python-updater -i is not guaranteed to fix your original problem, it was just a suggestion. The problem might not even lay with libxml2, but one of its dependencies, their dependencies, or dependencies of python itself. If you haven't already tried it, then revdep-rebuild from the gentoolkit package is your other friend. You might need try running it first and then retry with the python-updater. -- Arttu V.
Re: [gentoo-user] emerge world failing with No module name libxml2
2008/10/20 Brian Wince [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
All,
I am trying to use emerge –uDN world to upgrade from an older snapshot to
20081008 and I cannot seem to get past the issues with module libxml2.
I have tried running python-updater –p and it complains about blocked
packages which are older packages that I have not yet been able to get
updated via the emerge world.
Is it possible to do an emerge –uDN to the latest snapshot on a system that
was built a year or two ago or do I have to do it in stages?
If so what is the correct procedure?

Thanks for the quick response.
I had already emerged libxml2 and still got this.

2008/10/20 Brian Wince [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
All,
I am trying to use emerge -uDN world to upgrade from an older snapshot to
20081008 and I cannot seem to get past the issues with module libxml2.
I have tried running python-updater -p and it complains about blocked
packages which are older packages that I have not yet been able to get
updated via the emerge world.
Is it possible to do an emerge -uDN to the latest snapshot on a system that
was built a year or two ago or do I have to do it in stages?
If so what is the correct procedure?
The following is a snipit of the failure and it does not only happen with
epiphany.

RE: [gentoo-user] emerge world failing with No module name libxml2
That may work I will need to give it a shot later today and see if it helps. So the -I ignores the versions of packages installed and just fixes packages broken by a python upgrade, independent of the version? I guess I really do not understand what this means. I understand that slots can be used to install different versions of an app but not sure how that relates to python-updater. Brian -Original Message- From: Arttu V.

Re: [gentoo-user] emerge world and doubled portages
Hi! yesterday I emerged the nvidia-drivers. All went well. Then I ran 'emerge -NDpvu world' (I set nvidia flag in make.conf) and found out to have 2 versions of qt (3.3.8-r3 and 4.3.0-r2) and 2 versions og gnupg (1.4.7-r1 and 1.9.21). So I unmerged gnupg-1.4.7-r1 and ran 'emerge -NDpvu world' again. gnupg-1.4.7-r1 was listed again with [NS ] instead of the previuos [ R ]. May someone explain to me why? The same for qt. I should have to re-emerge some kde portages. How can I use qt4 instead of qt3? This is quite correct. Having multiple versions of a package installed is often necessary. This is the case. Some of your programs require qt3 to function, others require qt4. There are applications not prepared for qt4 at all. When you unmerged one of the qt's, you probably disposed some package(s) of their dependency, so emerge -uD promptly re-emerges the now-missing qt. The [ R ] flag means an already-installed package was to be re-emerged. Then you unmerged one such package and [ R ] became [NS ], which means a not-yet-installed package version is about to me emerged. Both qt and gnupg are slotted packages here - meaning it's possible to have multiple versions installed at the same time. Slotted - that's the S tag in [NS ]. So by and large, the right thing to do here is let emerge -NDpvu do what it wishes to do and keep both versions of both packages. If you want as many applications as possible to use qt4, adding the qt4 USE flag may help. May or may not. I don't know what exactly this flag does in all those ebuilds using it. -rz -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Maybe you can still add lcms ~x86 to package.keywords and be OK but you'll want someone better than me to tell you yes or no on that one. - Mark Thanks. I will try this as I don't think the force did anything because I continue to get the same message. Good advice about force language in the future. I'll think twice next time.

That should fix it. I found similar info and tried your suggestion. However then I got a message about the file size not matching. I don't remember exactly but I took it to mean that the MD5 checksums no longer matched. I didn't see anything in emerge man page about overriding the checksum check. ebuild /usr/portage/media-libs/lcms/lcms-1.13.ebuild digest will fix the checksums. -- Neil Bothwick I am Yoda of Borg.

Edit /usr/portage/media-libs/lcms/lcms-1.13.ebuild and change the line that says 'elibtoolize' to 'libtoolize --copy --force' and try again. That should fix it. A quick search of forums (http://forums.gentoo.org) and bugzilla (http://bugs.gentoo.org) would have given you the same answer.
