You may want to search the forums for the expat update. Let me know if you can't find it. Has it been a while since you updated? Yes, Dale is correct. Dwayne, you have all the major updates from the past year hitting your box in one go, and they all have to be approached in specific sequence. The general idea is of course to unmerge the blockers and merge the things that replace them. I would handle pam first. Keep a root console or two open, find the howto or wiki page that tells you how to do this step and do just that one (i.e. don't try and do it along with everything else in world). Get this one working, then handle the python-updater in the same way (btw, your version of python - 2.3 - is now unmaintained and will be leaving the tree soon). Finally do the expat upgrade. Now this is the big one and there is a complete howto/wiki page that tells you how to do it. This one will take a long time, as half your system will use the old version of expat and you will only have a new one (!) Use revdep-rebuild to fix that, preferably overnight. Finally, you have two packages that are not in portage anymore: gs-sources vi I don't know what gs-sources were for, you should switch to a supported set of kernel sources. The vi ebuild has been replace with app-editors/vim, so do: emerge -C vi ; emerge vim To fix this. When was this box last updated? 2005 sometime? -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Carter, Dwayne schrieb: [blocks B ] dev-lang/python-2.3.6-r2 (is blocking app-admin/python-updater-0.2) You also have to be careful with this blocker, never unmerge python or you are lost as portage does not work without python. You have to do something like this to get around it. quickpkg =dev-lang/python-2.3.5 this makes a backup of your old python version in case something gets wrong (adapt the version to match your currently installed one) emerge --nodeps -avt =dev-lang/python-2.4.4-r6 installs the new python version without dependencies so the python-updater can not block the old python version emerge -avC =dev-lang/python-2.3.5 removes the old version of python emerge -avt python-updater installs python-updater emerge -avt portage reinstalls portage so it uses the new python version It is also good thing to run python-updater after this. Please could someone confirm this, as i have never done this myself, just googling! :) !!! Problems have been detected with your world file !!! Please run emaint --check world You should also consider this! There are some invalid entries in your world file. Normally this are packages which are in world but are not installed on the system.

Just test it and manually put some cat/some-pkg you have not installed in the world file and run emerge -pv world then portage starts complaining, although it would install the newly added entry with its dependencies. Emaint checks the world file for a few problems. For entries with invalid atoms, entries with a package that is not installed (see above example) and entries that have a category that is not listed in /etc/portage/categories. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

RE: [gentoo-user] portage problems
Dale: Thanks for the input, I have successfully resolved the pam-login issue, I have to adjusted all the /etc/pam.d entry to remove the pam_stack entry and update them with type include system-auth. I just removed the dhcpcd-2.0.0 since it is not part of the system tree anymore. I am still working on the python and modutils. As far as updates I just inherited this server at work so, I don't really know when it was last updated. Thanks for the great information and input.
