[gentoo-user] Help...can't decipher emerge oracle...

Hi,

From emerge I got this """info""":

 * installed at the same time on the same system.

net-libs/libnsl-1.1.0-r1 is blocking sys-libs/glibc versions lower
than 2.26 and you have sys-libs/glibc-2.25 installed. So try
installing glibc-2.26 manually first and then libnsl.

Hi Jan,

thanks for your help and your answer! :)


Trying what you suggest leads into this:

/root>emerge '=glibc-2.26-r3'                   
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U  ] sys-libs/glibc-2.26-r3 [2.25-r9]

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

sys-libs/glibc:2.2

  (sys-libs/glibc-2.26-r3:2.2/2.2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
    =sys-libs/glibc-2.26-r3 (Argument)

  (sys-libs/glibc-2.25-r9:2.2/2.2::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
    sys-libs/glibc[rpc(-)] required by (net-fs/autofs-5.1.3:0/0::gentoo, installed)
                                                                                    
    <sys-libs/glibc-2.26 required by (net-libs/libnsl-0:0/1::gentoo, installed)
    ^               ^^^^                                                        

I would tend to remove autofs, install glibc-2.26, reinstall autofs
and ....

Woyld that work, or do I kill my system with that...

(I hate dependencies... :)

[Jan Chren (rindeal)]

Oh, I missed that the current libnsl has a blocker as well. In that
case try to do this:

```
emerge -C libnsl
emerge -1 ">=sys-libs/glibc-2.26"
emerge -1 libnsl
```

Hi Jan,

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously.  If such a conflict exists in
the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
not be installed simultaneously.

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


The following keyword changes are necessary to proceed:
 (see "package.accept_keywords" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by media-video/vlc-2.2.6-r2::gentoo
# required by @selected
# required by @world (argument)
=sys-libs/glibc-9999 **

NOTE: The --autounmask-keep-masks option will prevent emerge
      from creating package.unmask or ** keyword changes.



Use --autounmask-write to write changes to config files (honoring
CONFIG_PROTECT). Carefully examine the list of proposed changes,
paying special attention to mask or keyword changes that may expose
experimental or unstable packages.

 * In order to avoid wasting time, backtracking has terminated early
 * due to the above autounmask change(s). The --autounmask-backtrack=y
 * option can be used to force further backtracking, but there is no
 * guarantee that it will produce a solution.

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously.  If such a conflict exists in
the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
not be installed simultaneously. You may want to try a larger value of
the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if
that will solve this conflict automatically.

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

Re: [gentoo-user] Help...can't decipher emerge oracle...

[Jan Chren (rindeal)]

Well, that's yet another problem, this time it's `autofs` package
which depends on glibc having `rpc` USE flag. glibc 2.26 lost this
USE-flag, however. Hopefully you can workaround this by enabling
`libtirpc` USE-flag for `autofs` package.

So the steps should be now:

1. put `net-fs/autofs libtirpc` into your `/etc/portage/package.use/...`
2. `emerge -1 autofs`
3. `emerge -1 ">=sys-libs/glibc-2.26"`
4. `emerge -1 libnsl`

Why is it trying to install the 9999 version? Is that unmasked?

Are you running stable or testing?

What does "grep -r glibc /etc/portage" say?

I don't think you posted the command that started all of this?

For some reason, these horrible dependency dumps never seem to happen to
me.  Why is that?  Maybe because I run a "mostly stable" system?  I do
have some very few "testing" packages enabled (ie. with ~amd64 flag).
They all fit into a single terminal screen.

Hi Ian,

I am happy to know, that your system is that stable and is not
effected by problems other will find, report and get fixed by using
the unstable version. ;)

Running ~stable is likely the major reason, but of curse only you will
ever know for sure.

The whole point of ~arch[1] is to help get packages ready for stable.
Unstable users find the dependency snags that the single maintainer
can't weed out, we report them and log bugs and they get fixed. When the
package is stabilized, most of those funny bugs ought to be gone and
fixed. Yu mail can be read as proving that this system is working as
intended :-)

Removing autofs certainly can't hurt.

Maybe try upgrading glibc and libnsl together.

^ this is the key: autofs needs rpc support in glibc, which is going away with 
glibc-2.26. 

Sadly portage is extremely unhelpful here, since - if you look at the autofs 
ebuild - the problem goes away as soon as you switch its "libtirpc" useflag 
on:
        libtirpc? ( net-libs/libtirpc )
        !libtirpc? ( sys-libs/glibc[rpc(-)] )
(glibc-2.26 has no rpc useflag, and the (-) means it's treated as if it were 
switched off then.)

Indeed libtirpc is the modern replacement for the obsolete rpc support in 
glibc.

Anyway, I hope with the following commit this is now fixed:
