I'm having some trouble with revdep-rebuild. I read the suggestions
below but I can't quite decipher them. I tried to emerge lib-compat
manually but it didn't help.
"
All prepared. Starting rebuild...
emerge --oneshot --nodeps =media-libs/xine-lib-1_rc8-r1
=sys-libs/lib-compat-1.3 =xfce-extra/xfce4-fsguard-0.2.0
..........
Calculating dependencies -
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "=sys-libs/lib-compat-1.3".
Result is not OK, you have following choices:
- if emerge failed during build, fix the problems and re-run revdep-rebuild
or
- use -X or --package-names as first argument (try to rebuild package, not exact
ebuild - ignores SLOT!)
or
- set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~<your platform>" and/or /etc/portage/package.unmask
(and remove /root/.revdep-rebuild.5_order to be evaluated again)
or
- modify the above emerge command and run it manually
or
- compile or unmerge unsatisfied packages manually, remove temporary files and
try again (you can edit package/ebuild list first)
