[gentoo-user] audio gone!

Hi group,

After running emerge -uD alsa-utils I ran
revdep-rebuild and was greeted by page after page of
this

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy
"=kde-base/kdeaddons-3.5.2-r1".


Result is not OK, you have following choices:
- if emerge failed during build, fix the problems and
re-run revdep-rebuild
    or
- use -X or --package-names as first argument (try to
rebuild package, not exact
  ebuild - ignores SLOT!)
    or
- set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~<your platform>" and/or
/etc/portage/package.unmask
  (and remove /root/.revdep-rebuild.5_order to be
evaluated again)
    or
- modify the above emerge command and run it manually
    or
- compile or unmerge unsatisfied packages manually,
remove temporary files and
  try again (you can edit package/ebuild list first)

To remove temporary files, please run:
rm /root/.revdep-rebuild*.?_*

libexpat seems to be the offending package. Or is it
kdeaddons?

There's no libexpat in portage.

Here's the tail end of emerge -pv kdeaddons:

<...>
[ebuild     U ] kde-base/kdeaddons-3.5.7 [3.5.2-r1]
USE="arts sdl -berkdb -debug* -kdeenablefinal
-xinerama (-kdehiddenvisibility%) (-xmms%*)" 1,696 kB
[blocks B     ] kde-base/kde-env (is blocking
kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.7-r3)

Total: 36 packages (13 upgrades, 23 new, 1 block),
Size of downloads: 119,261 kB

I pre-pended ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" to the emerge
command but no help.

Do I really have to unmerge kde-env and then emerge
119M just to get my sound card back?

No, this brings the tunes:

localhost elex # fuser -v /dev/snd/* /dev/dsp

                     USER        PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p:   heathen   28869 F...m artsd
                     heathen   28871 F...m artsd

/dev/snd/timer:      heathen   28869 f.... artsd

localhost elex # kill 28869
localhost elex # exit

But this doesn't answer the question posed by the
thousands of "broken" references to libexpat in the
output of revdep-rebuild or the notice that

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy
"=kde-base/kdeaddons-3.5.2-r1".

Oops, it seems that you haven't updated in a while and have just
finally ran into the expat update "bug". Once you upgraded to expat
2.*, you have to re-compile a lot of stuff to get them working again.

And this seems to be the problem you have.

The oldest version of kdeaddons in the tree, I see, is 3.5.5
So an attempt at merging kdeaddons-3.5.2-r1 will find no ebuild.

It is provided by the package expat.

No, not really. Not all the packages are needed just to get your sound
card back; but all the packages will be needed at some point or
another if you want your desktop to be functional. It is probably a
good time to 'emerge --update --deep world'.

=kde-base/kdeaddons-3.5.2-r1 no longer exists in the tree, which is why
nothing satisfies it. You could use the X flag (or whatever revdep
tells you), or manually oneshot emerge kdeaddons on your own (emerge
-av1 kdeaddons). Then you can continue revdep-rebuilding from
libexpat(dev-libs/expat) breakage fun.

Re: [gentoo-user] audio gone!

[Hemmann, Volker Armin]

As soon as you update KDE to a not years-old-version, kllike 3.5.8, all 
your 'can't satisfy' problems will be gone. As a bonus, all KDE related expat 
errors will be gone too.

So start updating. Your box is almost hopelessly outdated.

I knew it would catch up with me eventually. But my

and installing from tarballs as required and ignoring
the big updates. Now I'm in a big hole. -uD world

so what, start the update in one terminal, start -fu in another one. That way 
the packages are downloaded, while others compile. No time wasted.

Try this:  "equery list eselect".  You have a version that is less than
that specific version.  Example:  eselect-1.0.2 or something to that effect.

Clue is this:  >=app-admin/eselect-1.0.3  Note the ">=" in there?

Hope that helps.

Uh-oh,

localhost heathen # emerge -auvD world

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

Calculating world dependencies \
!!! Multiple versions within a single package slot
have been
!!! pulled into the dependency graph:

('installed', '/', 'net-print/foomatic-filters-3.0.2',
'nomerge') pulled in by
  ('installed', '/', 'net-print/foomatic-3.0.2',
'nomerge')

('ebuild', '/',
'net-print/foomatic-filters-3.0.20060720', 'merge')
pulled in by
  ('installed', '/',
'net-print/foomatic-db-engine-3.0.2', 'nomerge')
  ('ebuild', '/',
'net-print/foomatic-filters-ppds-20070501', 'merge')

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.

If it helps any:

root@smoker / # equery list foomatic
[ Searching for package 'foomatic' in all categories among: ]
 * installed packages
[I--] [  ] net-print/foomatic-filters-3.0.20060720 (0)

It may be that some of those merged into that one package.  May to to
unmerge the other foomatic packages.

Hope that helps.

Hum, I have never used foomatic, so I am not sure, but:

[10:44 AM]wwong ~ $ ls /usr/portage/net-print/foo* -d
/usr/portage/net-print/foo2zjs
/usr/portage/net-print/foomatic-db
/usr/portage/net-print/foomatic-db-engine
/usr/portage/net-print/foomatic-db-ppds
/usr/portage/net-print/foomatic-filters
/usr/portage/net-print/foomatic-filters-ppds
/usr/portage/net-print/foomatic-gui

I don't actually see a foomatic package. What you see is bug 132322 on
B.G.O., which should have been fixed in 2006-05-05. And
net-print/foomatic was removed in April of 2007
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.weekly-news/208

So I think you can probably unmerge foomatic and try again.
