[gentoo-user] Trying to get rid of errors related to glib

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

Hello, gentoo-users,

it's a while now since I get errors when portage tries to unmerge
dev-libs/glib-2.10.3 (for example when doing "emerge -avu world).

I get:

----

>>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:

I added it to package.keywords for a try, as I have this on my desktop
machine without these problems. But it didn't solve this issue.

It doesn't make any real problems but it's not set up the correct way
when throwing errors ;)

Any hints on this?

Thanks, greetings, Stefan.

This is an unmerge problem not an emerge problem. The only thing that it might 
help emerging is another version of portage.

Your system is in an illegal state as you have two versions of glib in the 
same slot.

Make sure that you have the latest portage (either latest stable or latest 
~arch) i.e. run `emerge -u portage`. If that doesn't fix it I think you 
should file a bug against portage at bugs.gentoo.org. In the future as well 
as on bugs.gentoo.org please include `emerge --info` with portage tracebacks.

Hmm, I don't know how this could happen. Can't remember doing anything
specific related to glib.

Emerged portage, didn't help. Tried to mask glib-2.12, and then reemerge
 2.10 to get one and only one glib-ebuild in one slot, to get able to
unmerge it cleanly, didn't help either.

So I assume I have to file a bug.

Thanks, Stefan

Submitted that bug right now:

Hope I did it the right way, I am not yet used to submitting bugs there ;)

Thanks, Stefan

I was able to solve this by following the suggestions there.

Thanks for pointing me there,
Stefan
