[gentoo-user] portage bugs?
hi! During installation of a new system I recognised two things: 1) `emerge -e system' aborted two times. * The first time the command autoconf was missing so I manually installed the package autoconf. * The second time the command aclocal was missing so I manually installed the package automake (which contains aclocal) I tried `emerge -ep system' an the two packages (autoconf and automake) are mentioned in the list of packages which portage will install. But it seems that portage installs them to late. 2) after `emerge -e system' I tried to install the following packages: `emerge -va reiserfsprogs lvm2 syslog-ng vixie-cron postfix' vixie-cron needs an mta and tries to install ssmtp - which conflicts with postfix. portage didn't recognised that I mentioned an mta on command line. I worked around by mentioning postfix before vixie-cron on command line: `emerge -va reiserfsprogs lvm2 syslo-ng postfix vixie-cron' Then portage recognised postfix and didn't try to install another mta. Shouldn't portage be smart enough to solve this by itself? greetings erwin
[gentoo-user] specific version of package in /etc/portage/package.keywords
hi everybody! I don't like to upgrade to ruby version 1.8.3 so i added the following line(s) (not all at the same time) to /etc/portage/package.keywords: =dev-lang/ruby-1.8.2 =dev-lang/ruby-1.8.2-r2 =dev-lang/ruby-1.8.2-r2 x86 dev-lang/ruby-1.8.2-r2 x86 but none of these entries kept `emerge -uva world' from upgrading ruby. what I've done wrong? thanks in advance! erwin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
