[gentoo-user] Could not emerge app-crypt/gnupg-1.4.2-r2 due to new kernel being emerged too
Hi, Todays emerge -vauDN world failed with gnupg not being emerged. The reason seems to be that I am emerging a new kernel too. This new kernel has obviously not been configured/build yet which makes gnupg unable to find .config in /usr/src/linux/. I expect this problem to go away when the new kernel is up and running. emerge output below.

Best regards, jules Or, you could just change the /usr/src/symlink back to your currently-configured kernel, emerge gnupg, then change it (the symlink) back to point at the new, unconfigured kernel. I take it you're using the 'symlink' USE flag, which does this automatically. I usually do too, and had a similar problem with a different program just a week or two ago. Fortunately, I noticed that it was going to happen before the emerge proceeded (I was getting a new kernel, and upgrading the ati-drivers package, which I know must compile against a configured kernel), so I just disabled the 'symlink' USE flag for the new, about-to-be-downloaded kernel *only* (and learned that you can manage specific versions of an app in /etc/portage/package.use), so that the symlink was not changed, and the ati-drivers emerged normally against my current, configured kernel. Then I manually redirected the /usr/src/linux symlink to the new, uncompiled kernel for the later kernel upgrade. So I only had to do the redirect once, and it all worked out fine. Of course I had to re-emerge the ati-drivers, but that's normal anyway when upgrading a kernel. Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Yes (qualified yes), but 1) I'm training myself out of changing USE flags on the command line (though it would have been OK in this case, the reason I have a general policy is to keep to it, not except it :-) ) 2) I learned something (because I don't want to use USE= on the command line, I had to use package.use, which I didn't know up to that moment allowed specification of package versions. But I found that =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.13-r5 -symlink is actually valid, which is useful information, enabling me to turn the USE flag off for just this one emerge, without disturbing later kernels for which I want to keep the 'symlink' flag default enabled. Since this situation is not terribly likely to occur again-- an upgrade to the ati-drivers being offered in the same operation as a new kernel, given that the ati-drivers don't update that terribly often, and on a schedule, and since I often mask shiny-new kernels because the ati-drivers are generally unlikely to compile against them lately-- knowing that a 'oneshot mask' is possible in package.use is handy). So yes, it would have been easier to do it the way you say, but I find taking unexpected opportunities to explore the capabilities of Portage more valuable than doing things the easy way (sometimes).

But this is exactly what is needed in this case. =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.13-r5 -symlink is actually valid, which is useful information, enabling me to turn the USE flag off for just this one emerge, without disturbing later kernels for which I want to keep the 'symlink' flag default enabled. Except it's not really just this one emerge but all emerges of that package and version, although the two are likely to coincide.
