Hello,
I'm building a firewall on an old p3. It has Compact
flash to ide, limited to 4 Gb so size is paramount.
It's mostly ready. However upon a routine update, I get this
error:
Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:
dev-lang/python:2.6
('ebuild', '/', 'dev-lang/python-2.6.2-r1', 'merge') pulled in
by >=dev-lang/python-2.5 required by ('installed', '/',
'sys-apps/portage-2.1.6.13', 'nomerge')
dev-lang/python required by ('installed', '/', 'sys-apps/file-4.23',
'nomerge')
<dev-lang/python-3.0 required by ('installed', '/',
'sys-apps/portage-2.1.6.13', 'nomerge')
(and 1 more)
('installed', '/', 'dev-lang/python-2.6.2-r1', 'nomerge') pulled in by
dev-lang/python[xml] required by ('installed', '/',
'app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.4.5', 'nomerge')
(and 4 more)
Explanation:
New USE for 'dev-lang/python:2.6' are incorrectly set. In order to
solve this, adjust USE to satisfy 'dev-lang/python[xml]'.
OK fair enough, let's check python[xml] and see what's up...
dev-lang/python-2.6.2-r1 USE="berkdb ncurses readline ssl
-build -doc -examples -gdbm* -ipv6* -sqlite -threads* -tk -ucs2 -wininst -xml*"
10,907 kB
I'm ok rebuilding python with no xml support (???) but, I wonder
about the -threads flag. Is this wise?
also:
CHOST="i486-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-Os -march=i586 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
USE="-* -nls mmx hardened ncurses ssl crypt berkdb tcpd pam perl pcre \
python readline zlib bzip2 nptl nptlonly syslog"
Suggestions on rebuilding python without xml or threads flags are most welcome.
