It would seem impossible for me to switch to profile 17.1. I say this
because I can never run emerge --depclean . I have a few packages
which will not compile and one not in the tree anymore. the packages
which will not compile are mono-4.4.1.0 and totem-3.30 -- I have filed
bugs against both of them. Inn no longer configures and I have
discussed this in another thread. So, where can I go with this? I
hate to just go forward, although these packages look they don't have
any lib32 dependencies. Wat do you thihnk about this?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I read other replies and had a thought. Couldn't you run emerge -p
--depclean and let it list what needs cleaning up, then clean it up
manually with -C or some other option that works? It would take more
time to do it that way but at least you would have a cleaner system
without removing your packages you want to keep. May make the profile
switch easier.
Also, you could use --exclude on --depclean as well. Since I rarely
reboot, I do manual updates on my kernel, I emerge them then mask them
so it doesn't want to update every little version increase. When I run
--depclean, I have to use --exclude gentoo-sources to make it ignore my
kernel sources. In your case, emerge -p --depclean --exclude mono
--exclude totem --exclude inn, assuming I have that last one spelled
correctly.
Just make sure you use -a or -p with those first. Wouldn't want to
forget and really mess up something. :/
Would either of those work for you?
Here is the exact output from emerge --depclean
Calculating dependencies ........ done!
* Dependencies could not be completely resolved due to
* the following required packages not being installed:
*
* gnome-base/gnome-desktop:3/12= pulled in by:
* media-video/totem-3.24.0
*
* dev-libs/openssl:0/0= pulled in by:
* net-nntp/inn-2.5.5-r1
*
* Have you forgotten to do a complete update prior to
depclean? The
* most comprehensive command for this purpose is as
follows:
*
* emerge --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y
@world
*
* Note that the --with-bdeps=y option is not
required in many
* situations. Refer to the emerge manual page
(run `man emerge`)
* for more information about --with-bdeps.
*
* Also, note that it may be necessary to
manually uninstall
* packages that no longer exist in
the
repository, since it may not
* be possible to satisfy their
dependencies.
Can you manually emerge those needed packages?
(gnome-base/gnome-desktop:3/12 and dev-libs/openssl:0/9) That
should be possible even though you can't compile inn or totem.
They don't seem to be valid package atoms -- according to portage.
No, but have you done something like "eix gnome-desktop" to figure out
which version meets all those criteria? (3.26.2-r2 for gnome-desktop,
but I don't see a match for openssl, which suggests it might be a
sufficiently old version that it's no longer in portage, which could be
a problem, unless you can find the old ebuild.)
