Others already answered about the arrows and the meaning of them, but I just wanted to chime in and say that there's no reason to mask anything at the moment, it is just a warning from portage that it can't upgrade egl-wayland because nvidia-drivers requires the older version. If the drivers are ever updated to allow for newer egl-wayland, any masks would just make the upgrade more of a chore. Regards, Arve

I'm not sure I quite understood where you're having problems, but I have a machine that accepts mail from the LAN through postfix, so I'll show some of my setup. Replace any <> with your hostnames. On the LAN machine I don't have postfix, I only send mail directly to the machine with 'sendmail', but I found that I have in /etc/mail/mailertable: 192.168. smtp: esmtp: And in /etc/mail/local-host-names I have set - maybe that does something, but I send mail directly with sendmail either way.

Running eix in any way that produces more than 50 package results, it shows this for me: Only 50 matches displayed on terminal Set EIX_LIMIT=0 to show all matches I can only assume that it detects that the output is a pipe and ignores this limit.

Good shout.

I think you might be misreading the initial message Dale, the output
is saying that it requires a version of 1.16.2 or higher, and John's
latest shows that he has version 1.22.3 installed.
I found a bug on bgo which might be related,
https://bugs.gentoo.org/913644, it could be worth a try to downgrade
dev-util/pkgconfig. I have the same versions installed, but when I
last compiled webkit-gtk I had version 1.8.1 installed.

So how to fix? The parantheses around php 7.4 in PHP_TARGETS="(-php7-4) -php8-0 -php8-1" means that this flag is masked. dev-lang/php:7.4 is also masked, so I assume this is due to be removed soon.

Haven't synced my tree in a few days, but it seems right according to packages.gentoo.org. Your two examples, sci-libs/vtk and media-libs/opencv, requires the older subslot version. These things tend to sort themselves out with world rebuilding, unless they really require something older. There probably is a tracker bug for ffmpeg 6 unmasking, where you could see if your packages are not supported for ffmpeg 6 yet. Regards, Arve

Your problem is an outdated dev-python/slackclient which requires python 3.8 or 3.9. This package does not seem to be in the ::gentoo repo any more, so I would try to find an alternative.

It was said in an earlier message from Mark that the value was related to number of cores, where your 24 cores at 100% average load would translate to a value of --load-average 24.0. That would put your value of 40 at 166% average load? What load are you actually trying to limit it to? If you want 40% load, that should apparently be --load-average 9.6. Regards, Arve

I don't think the files/ directory contents were ever downloaded by the ebuilds, they are a part of the portage tree, so they appear when you sync.

It definitely seems like gnucash and libproxy are pulling in the slot 4 version? You might have other packages that don't depend on any particular slot, and portage will then pull in the latest version, which on a stable system is the slot 5 package. This could maybe be considered a bug. On my system, I have one package depending on a slot 4.1 package, and one with no slot requirement, so I have both a slot 4.1 package and a slot 6 package installed. It's annoying, true.

I see now in your first message that the output says that gatling will wait and start after net.enp2s0 has started, I guess there must be a crash while waiting. Is there no logs from the daemon?

I won't be telling you what to one way or the other about pulseaudio, but I don't expect ALSA to stop working any time soon. Just for reference, to get sound to my TV when playing video with mpv (originally a fork of mplayer, so possibly accepts most of the same parameters that would work for you in smplay), I use this parameter: --audio-device=alsa/hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0 Looking at your aplay output from the old kernel, putting this in Smplay might work: Output driver: alsa/hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=1 I wonder though if it means anything that in the new aplay -l output for your TV it says, Subdevices: 0/1.

Maybe these two are just written more strict?

Not sure what you mean here, although in essence any "rename" operation in this context is always just a "mv" anyway. Maybe you missed that I was talking about emelfm2, where shift+F6 lets you change the name of the file you want to move before moving it. If you change the name to something that exist in the destination, then you'll get asked if you want to replace it. Regards, Arve

This is probably a case of Dolphin not being a good tool, unless it has a built-in command-line? $ mv newfile oldfile will overwrite the old file in place with the new file with the name of the old file. In my file manager, emelfm2 (sadly not in tree any more), which has a built-in command-line there are at least two ways I could solve this. 1. Equivalent to your method - Select old file, F2 (rename), ctrl+c, esc, select new file in other pane, shift+F6 (move with rename), ctrl+v, enter 2. Equivalent to explicit command-line on the built-in terminal - mv %f %F (referencing selected file(s) in the active and inactive pane respectively) I know there are many file managers with a built-in terminal, so maybe others have similar possible solutions. I saw someone mention midnight commander which I believe is one. Regards, Arve

Are you sure that you would miss any of them? From the lists on the bugs posted by Holger here, it seems like most of it are small specialised tools used for specific needs.

As you noticed, setting --jobs higher than 1 automatically sets --quiet-build, and makes it unable to activate. It will tell you after portage is finished about any failed packages, and where that log is, but if you want to see all that output while it's compiling you'd need to script a way to automatically check for new build.log files in /var/tmp/portage as new package compile jobs starts and monitor them.

What is the output from: emerge -1va =virtual/libcrypt-2 As mentioned in the news item, most upgrades should have just happened on its own without user interference, so it might also be as simple as re-running the @world command with --backtrack=1000 Regards, Arve

Have you done a depclean regularly? This package, dev-python/ipaddress, has appeared in at least half of all threads where someone is having upgrade trouble with these python errors. This package left the repo a long time ago, and simply does not exist any more, and hence can also be depcleaned. emerge --depclean --pretend to see if you have a long list of packages that portage could remove.

You should also have the /opt/openjdk-bin-11 symbolic link, so the bin

It should all be in the emerge output, although it's quite hard to read. If you want help interpreting it you could post the complete conflict output, but what you've posted in your initial message is just the bit that says that python-exec-2.4.8 requires python-exec-conf-2.4.6. That's not a conflict, that's just one of the packages having one dependency. To have a conflict, a different package would need to require a different version. Most of the times this particular kind of conflict is with an older package that requires older PYTHON_TARGETS than can be provided, and I expect something that got depcleaned with ipkg-utils, or ipkg-utils directly, required python-exec or python-exec-conf with PYTHON_TARGETS="python3_7". Note that dev-lang/python itself is not the source of any of these problems, I still have python 2.7 and 3.10 installed (along with 3.9 which is the default version on this machine now).

An alternative to adding the whole overlay (and the poly-c overlay is quite big) is to just copy the ebuild you want to your local overlay. It looks like poly is involved in the maintenance of this package normally, so I'm not sure why this is not in the main repo yet, if there is something weird being worked on. The biggest change if you copy it locally, is that you get the latest released version of seamonkey, and the rust dependency in the ebuild has been updated to: >=virtual/rust-1.34.0 That seems to indicate that the current requirement of <1.53 was never correct? Either way, worth a try if you ask me, you're on a newer version, the rust conflict with firefox will not come up again, and hopefully eventually, the main gentoo repo will get even newer versions so you'll get automatically updated without having added a full extra overlay.

I noticed the release notes for seamonkey 2.53.10.2 mentions fixing something about rust-1.57, and no mention of rust in any of the versions between the latest in portage and that one, so I question if there is actually a dependency on an older rust here.

This is probably not possible at all using any of the tools available. These tools only support downloading the latest snapshot to get you up to date. Additionally, most mirrors only keep snapshots of the last 7 days or so, so it would take some (possibly futile) effort to find a snapshot of the date you need. The only option, as far as I ca nsee, is to migrate your portage tree to git, where you can specify a commit that you want to sync to from the wanted day. The better option would of course be to figure out why your tensorflow compiles keeps failing, if that is possible. Regards, Arve

Python target troubles are indeed common around major python version upgrades, which we've had quite a few of lately. In your case, I would try running a depclean, dev-python/pytest-runner does not seem to be in the tree at all, so complaining about not finding a newer version satisfying the wanted python targets makes sense there.
