[gentoo-user] How to display all dependencies?
Hi, is there a command which shows all dependencies of a package? Unfortunately, qdepends doesn't do the job, e.g. qdepends kde-base/kde-meta shows no dependencies at all while there are more than 200 of them. Many thanks for a hint, Helmut.

Re: [gentoo-user] lvm failed to start

I have successfully be able to create an initramfs that does a vgscan, vgchange -a y and mounts /usr (which is on LVM). But now I (naturally) I get LVM failed to start (and of cause failed to mount /usr) when openrc processes the init-scripts. This is not down to your initramfs, see the previously linked bug. What do you mean by This is not down to your initramfs? With the new C:\ concept of udev /usr needs to be mounted before /sbin/init is run and as I am using LVM, LVM needs to be started before /sbin/init as well - or have I missed something here? You are getting this error from openrc, which means the initramfs has already done its stuff and passed control to init on the real root partition. At this point /usr is already mounted, it is the openrc startup of LVM that is failing, because it is trying to write a lockfile to a read-only filesystem, which would be the case even if you were not using an initramfs. The problem is that it is trying to write to /var/lock, which is on / at this point, rather than /run/lock, which is on a writeable tmpfs. -- Neil Bothwick Bus: (n.) a connector you plug money into, something like a slot machine. signature.asc Description: PGP signature
Re: [gentoo-user] WARNING dev-libs/icu-49.1 is BAD

They are, the old libs stay around until you emerge @preserved-rebuild... and then everything breaks.
