[gentoo-user] how do I resolve udev145 masked issue?

[John covici]

Hi.  On my latest update attempt, I get the following message: !!! All
ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-fs/udev-145[extras]" have been
masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your
request:
- sys-fs/udev-9999 (masked by: package.mask, missing keyword)
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Matthias Schwarzott <zzam@gentoo.org> (3 Jul 2009)
# It needs libblkid provided by util-linux-2.16 not yet released

- sys-fs/udev-145 (masked by: package.mask)

For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

I tried this a week ago and waited a week hoping that this would be
resolved, but the latest emerge --sync still has not resolved the
problem.

Any suggestions would be appreciated as to possible courses of action,
as there seems to be no way to tell emerge to do other updates while
this is still not resolved.

run the emerge with the -t option to see what is pulling in udev-9999

I get the same thing if I emerge udev145, so its not unique to 999.

You have it backwards. Something else you have previously installed wants to 
upgrade udev to version 9999 because it's ebuild says so. Whether you have 
udev-145 installed or no udev at all, that package will still try to emerge 
udev-9999.

You need to find out what that package is. emerge with -t will show this. Very 
little else will.

That's because both are masked, it doesn't have any bearing on the reason
for udev-9999 being wanted.

OK, here is emerge with the same options with the -t added

emerge -t is not completing because of udev. You will have to deal with that 
to get emerge to progress to the point where it will display the build try.

Put an entry for udev into package.unmask and re-run emerge with -p and -t to 
find what pulls in udev-9999. Fix that so it doesn;t do it anymore, remove the 
temporary package.unmask and run emerge for real.

But first, these are basic fundamental gentoo and portage operations. They 
fall in the class of "stuff you need to know to get anything done at all if 
circumstances are unusual". So first, you should be reviewing the portage 
sections in the Gentoo handbook till you understand it all. Some things cannot 
be done on a wing and a prayer, this is one of them.

Neither of these are in portage. Which overlay are you using for them?

I am using the gnome overlay from layman. 

If I comment out the source line for layman in /etc/make.conf I get
the following:



[nomerge      ] gnome-base/gnome-2.26.3 [2.26.2]
[nomerge      ]  app-accessibility/orca-2.26.3 [2.26.2]

[ebuild  N    ]     dev-python/jinja2-2.1.1-r1  USE="doc -examples
-i18n -test"
[ebuild  N    ]      dev-python/sphinx-0.6.2  USE="doc -test"

 * Error: circular dependencies:

 * Note that circular dependencies can often be avoided by temporarily
 * disabling USE flags that trigger optional dependencies.

The doc USE flag is causing that. Sphinx is used to build python docs, it
needs jinja but that needs sphinx because you have set its doc flag.
Emerge jinja without the doc flag.

Incidentally, unless you are a developer, you don't normally need the doc
use flag.

OK, thanks for the advise -- I wish there were a devel-doc flag to
distinguish between use and development docs, but I guess you can't
have everything.
