Hello,
Some of my servers are running with a kernel without module-support.
On these servers something has started to pull in sys-apps/kmod, which when
compiled complains about missing modules-support in the kernel (as it should).
Doing an "equery d sys-apps/kmod" I can see that the following two packages
depends on sy-apps/kmod:
sys-fs/udev-197-r8 (kmod ? >=sys-apps/kmod-12)
virtual/modutils-0 (sys-apps/kmod[tools])
sys-fs/udev has "-kmod" in its USE-flags, so that should not be an issue).
# emerge --verbose --pretend sys-fs/udev
[ebuild R ] sys-fs/udev-197-r8 USE="acl openrc -doc -gudev -hwdb
-introspection -keymap -kmod (-selinux) -static-libs" 0 kB
With virtual/modutils its an other thing, here we have a circular dependency
between virtual/modutils and sys-apps/kmod if the tools USE-flag is set.
So trying to resolve this a unmreged virtual/modutils and sys-apps/kmod and
tried the following:
# USE="-tools" emerge --update --deep --verbose --reinstall changed-use
--with-bdeps y world --pretend --tree
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] virtual/modutils-0 0 kB
[ebuild N ] sys-apps/modutils-2.4.27-r1 230 kB
Total: 2 packages (2 new), Size of downloads: 230 kB
# equery d sys-apps/modutils
* These packages depend on sys-apps/modutils:
# equery d virtual/modutils
* These packages depend on virtual/modutils:
Can someone explain to me why these two are getting re-emerged (nothing seems
to depend on them and I have previously unmerged them)?
Regards,
