I searched the Internet for a while on this one, and came up with people
asking the question on this list in the archives but never found an
answer. So pardon me if I am repeating an answer already posted, but
here it goes.
If you are trying to install binary packages and are getting:
Calculating dependencies
!!! There are no packages available to satisfy: "xfree"
!!! Either add a suitable binary package or compile from an ebuild.
!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.
even though you have a binary package or are getting:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r2 to /
!!! CATEGORY info missing from info chunk, aborting...
You are missing a step which is not mentioned really anywhere for
the process of building binary packages. After you create the
binary packages, you need to run fixpackages. This will take a
while, especially if there are a lot of binary packages. But it
seems to fix the tbz2 files and allow them to install to the system.
It worked for me anyway.
Sorry again if I am repeating a previous answer, and if there is a
better way of fixing up the tbz2 files so they install, please
correct me.
