[gentoo-user] Cleanup kde-3.4

[gentoo-user] Cleanup kde-3.4

[Boyd Stephen Smith Jr.]

I've just completed an upgrade to kde-meta-3.5 from kde-meta-3.4 -- what's 
the beast way to clean up all the old kde 3.4 packages.

emerge -C kde-meta; emerge --depclean
doesn't work: depclean does not show any of the kde 3.4 packages as 
candidates for removal.

As posted yesterday:

qpkg -I -nc -g kde-base | xargs emerge --prune

Isn't qpkg deprecated?
Does anybody know the equivalent un-deprecated replacement of this command?

equery is the actual replacement

And listed from the kde docs, the best way to remove is:

equery list kde-base/ | grep 3.4 | xargs emerge --unmerge --pretend

The replacement is equery.  However since equery lists version numbers
in it's output, the command to replace the above is more complex:

equery -q list -f kde-base/.* | sed 's/-r[0-9].*$//;s/\(^.*\/*\)-.*/\1/' | uniq | xargs emerge --prune

Another option is app-portage/portage-utils.  Using the qlist applet,
the above command is:

qlist -C -I kde-base | uniq | xargs emerge --prune

Paul

Yes, but it still works and is the best tool for this particular task.

equery is generally the replacement for qpkg, but its output isn't as
suitable for this task.

I posted this to the german list a few minutes ago:

Libtool (*.la) files in /usr still contain references to /usr/kde/3.4, so 
like after a GCC upgrade you should also replace 3.4 with 3.5:

find /usr/lib -name "*.la" -exec sed -i s%/kde/3.4/%/kde/3.5/%g {} \;

Thanks!  In my case I wanted to remove kde-3.3 (I'm running stable kde-3.4). 
When I ran # emerge -aC =sys-devel/gcc-3.3* I got a lot of:

I thought that running your script would remove these, but there are still a
load of files left under /usr/kde/3.3/*

Is there any script which will cleanly remove previous versions of KDE or is
it a matter of manually removing stuff?

Read my command again: it only fixes *.la files in /usr/lib, 
not /usr/kde/*/lib.

Anyway, when there are still files left in /usr/kde/<oldversion>/ after 
unmerging all kde packages, you could use epm -qf (emerge epm) to find out 
to which package they belong and re-merge those packages.

emerge cleanly removes old KDE versions. However, there may be other stuff 
that needs to be fixed/cleaned up manually afterwards. Maybe 
fix_libtool_files.sh needs to be enhanced to be able to handle KDE upgrades 
also.

HTH...

emerge -C only removes files that belong to the package and have not been
changed since the package was installed. KDE stores system config files
in /usr/kde and these will not be removed if they have been changed from
the defaults.

It should be safe to delete them manually, although you should follow
Dirk's advice before deleting any leftover library files.

[gentoo-user] Postfix Install

[Gentoo]

Hi,

Iam new to gentoo.  A friends uses it and suggested I get it a try.  I am 
very new to gentoo so any help or pointers towards doc would be great.  I 
have tried to install postfix with  emerge postfix and get the following 
error.

Calculating dependencies ...done!

!!! Error: the mail-mta/ssmtp package conflicts with another package.
!!!        both can't be installed on the same system together.
!!!        Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers.

with emerge --pretend postfix I get the following

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B     ] mail-mta/ssmtp (is blocking mail-mta/postfix-2.2.5)
[ebuild  N    ] dev-libs/libpcre-6.3
[ebuild  N    ] mail-mta/postfix-2.2.5

So does this mean I have to install dev-libs/libpcre-6.3?

Thanks for your help.

emerge -C ssmtp && emerge postfix

This is because you need only one smtp server. As for libpcre it will be
installed by portage, don't worry

You have to unmerge ssmtp first with "emerge unmerge ssmtp" as that
package blocks the one you want (in this case it is postfix).

Then emerge postfix and it will work just fine.

This is what I use and it works well:

#!/bin/bash
for x in `ls /usr/portage/kde-base`; do
  if [ "$x" != "CVS" ]; then
    echo -n "=kde-base/$x-3.4* "
  fi
done |xargs emerge -Cpv

This only works for 3.4, whereas --prune removed all older packages.
Also, by using -I with qpkg, it only acts on packages that are installed,
not the whole of kde-base.

On the other hand,your approach works better if you used the monolithic
ebuild for 3.5 and the split ebuilds for 3.5.

Check if this one will do it:
