[gentoo-user] Portage: missing pieces

[gentoo-user] Portage: missing pieces

[Molle Bestefich]

I think a piece might be missing from Portage.

I'll depict my workflow as an example.

I'm preparing to upgrade:
# emerge --sync
# emerge -Dp world
[blocks B     ] <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking x11-libs/libXinerama-1.0.1)
[blocks B     ] <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking x11-libs/libXi-1.0.1)
[blocks B     ] <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking x11-libs/libXrandr-1.1.1)
[blocks B     ] <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking x11-proto/randrproto-1.1.2)
[blocks B     ] <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking x11-misc/makedepend-1.0.0)
[blocks B     ] <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking media-libs/mesa-6.5-r3)
[blocks B     ] <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking x11-libs/libdrm-2.0.1)
[blocks B     ] <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking
x11-proto/xf86vidmodeproto-2.2.2)
[blocks B     ] <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking x11-proto/glproto-1.4.7)
[blocks B     ] <=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.9 (is blocking
x11-proto/xf86driproto-2.0.3)
... etc, lots of blockers ...

Ok, let's try and find why it wants to downgrade to xorg-x11-6.9:
# equery d xorg-x11-6.9
[ Searching for packages depending on xorg-x11-6.9... ]

<none found>
#

Ok, no reason, apparently.  Maybe it's already merged then?
# emerge -C xorg-x11-6.9
--- Couldn't find 'xorg-x11-6.9' to unmerge.

Nope.  Now I'm getting uncertain.  Don't I have xorg-x11 at all?
# emerge -C xorg-x11

 x11-base/xorg-x11
    selected: 7.0-r1
   protected: none
     omitted: none

>>> 'Selected' packages are slated for removal.
>>> 'Protected' and 'omitted' packages will not be removed.

>>> Waiting 5 seconds before starting...
>>> (Control-C to abort)...
>>> Unmerging in: 5 4 3

<CTRL-C>
Exiting on signal 2

Whoops.  Yep, it's there.

Ok, so status is that I have xorg-x11-7.0, I don't have 6.9, no
packages actually wants xorg-x11-6.9, but whenever I use "emerge -D
world", Portage sees it as a blocker anyway.

Is there a piece missing in this puzzle, in particular the one that
will tell me why on earth Portage thinks version 6.9 is a blocker?

Or is the piece in place but I'm not looking hard enough?

Try "emerge -Dtpv world", it will give you a hierarquical tree that
will show what package is seeking to downgrade xorg.

Thanks for the tip!

Unfortunately, the spurious xorg-x11-6.9 package just shows at the top
of the tree:

# emerge -Dtp world

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

There is nothing spurious about it. You aren't reading closely enough to
see the '<=' (less than or equal to) in front of it. Maybe you want to
check out the "Blocked packages" section of the handbook [1]. Basically
it's saying that you need to uninstall your old xorg-x11 before you can
upgrade to the new, modular xorg-x11. Please also glance at the howto
for this upgrade [2].

Thanks,
Donnie

Dont "snip".  The relevant part comes *after* the "blocks" lines.

Also, you are mis-interpreting the "blocks" lines.  The correct
reading of "X (is blocking Y)" is that you have (or should have) X
installed, and now portage wants to install Y instead.  Usually this
is because Y supercedes the functionality that used to be provided by
X, and  in almost all cases, the right thing to do is to unmerge X and
merge Y.

The exceptions on your system are pam-login/shadow, and
seamonkey/mozilla.  For some reason portage wants to install/keep
both.  This is where you need to look at the *full* --tree output to
see what is trying to pull those packages in.

The trick here is to unmerge pam-login, then merge shadow with USE="pam".
The functionality of pam-login has been folded into shadow, so using
pam-login is deprecated.
