[gentoo-user] Moving to 2008 profile: I cannot upgrade baselayout....

[Jean-Marc Paulin]

Ok, so I was using the 2006 profile (amd64) util I started to have
errors in my emerge. So I followed the doc to upgrade my profile to a
2008 profile (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-upgrading.xml). and
at some point, I need to either select to support unicode or not. Not
being too bothered (and mostly because I do not want to end up having
to rebuild the whole machine), I decided to follow the non-unicode
route. At some point, I then need to issue an emerge -a baselayout,
and this is where I am stuck:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
# emerge -p baselayout

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

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U ] sys-devel/automake-1.10.1-r1 [1.10]
[ebuild     U ] sys-apps/sysvinit-2.86-r10 [2.86]
[ebuild  N    ] app-arch/lzma-utils-4.32.7  USE="-nocxx"
[ebuild     U ] sys-apps/findutils-4.4.0 [4.1.20-r1]
[ebuild  N    ] sys-apps/attr-2.4.41  USE="nls"
[ebuild  N    ] virtual/init-0
[ebuild  N    ] sys-apps/acl-2.2.47  USE="nls (-nfs)"
[ebuild     U ] sys-apps/coreutils-6.10-r2 [6.4] USE="acl* -vanilla% -xattr%"
[ebuild     U ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.11.1 [1.11.13-r1]
[ebuild     U ] sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.4 [3.0-r2] USE="-old-linux%"
[blocks B     ] <sys-apps/util-linux-2.13 (is blocking
sys-apps/coreutils-6.10-r2)
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

So anyone having an idea on how to pass this step is welcome.

Thanks

JM

You need to upgrade to a more recent version of util-linux, at least
2.13, which shouldn't be a problem as 2.14.1 is stable.

emerge --oneshot util-linux

Blocked as well:

# emerge --oneshot util-linux

[ebuild     U ] sys-apps/util-linux-2.14.1 [2.12i-r1] USE="-loop-aes%

and:

# emerge -p  sys-apps/setarch

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

[ebuild   R   ] sys-apps/setarch-2.0

Wouldn't upgrading to portage 2.2.* help with this?  I think it deals
with blockages better.  I noticed it did on mine a little while back.

Just curious.

Unmerge setarch, it is included in later util-linux builds.

BTW this has all been discussed before, a search of the list archives
would have turned up  solution.

You need to unmerge sys-apps/setarch.  Note that the first block was
from having too low a version of sys-apps/util-linux:
[blocks B     ] <sys-apps/util-linux-2.13 (is blocking
sys-apps/coreutils-6.10-r2)

While the second block is caused by having any version of
sys-apps/setarch:
[blocks B     ] sys-apps/setarch (is blocking
sys-apps/util-linux-2.14.1)

This is probably because setarch got included in newer util-linux
versions.


Good luck,

Thanks to all of you. I did unmerge setarch, and the emerge is now on
its way. I just did not know that setarch was included in the newer
util-linux, hence was scared to remove it just like that...

Neil: I did google for it, but I guess not in the right place. Will
try harder next time.

Thanks a lot

JM

Googling for "setarch site:archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-user" found it, but
the Gentoo mailing list archives are not exactly well signposted :(
