[gentoo-user] Circular blocks after last night's sync?

[gentoo-user] Circular blocks after last night's sync?

[James Homuth]

During an update attempt this afternoon, these little surprises were waiting
for me. I took a look at the archives, and naturally, google, but all I
found were lots of the same error, and no information on it/what's broken.
Anyone else having this particular problem? The block errors are below.

[blocks B     ] sys-libs/ss (is blocking sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.2)

[blocks B     ] <sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41 (is blocking
sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.2)

[blocks B     ] sys-libs/com_err (is blocking
sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs-1.41.2)

[blocks B     ] sys-libs/e2fsprogs-libs (is blocking sys-libs/ss-1.40.9,
sys-libs/com_err-1.40.9)                                   

This was during an emerge --update world.

Unmerge the old e2fsprogs and emerge the new programs and libs. IIRC
this is not new. I had this happen a few months ago.

emerge -C e2fsprogs, ss, com_err && emerge -1 e2fsprogs 

e2fsprogs is being restructured, which is causing the problem.

It happened to be today on a stable box, so these versions must have just
been marked stable. Fortunately, that (mainly) stable box was running the
latest portage, which resolves the blocks automatically.

If you go the route of uninstalling things first, make sure that you
have the sources prepared as wget might not work for some use flag
combinations when you remove e2fsprogs, ss, com_err in advance.

I have obtained the sources to e2fsprogs, e2fsprogs-libs, ss, com_error
via emerge --fetchonly.
Am I correct in believing that emerge --unmerge will NOT remove the
sources.

No the sources should not get removed unless you use tools like eclean.
To be save quickpkg the packages you want to remove before you actually
remove them. So in case of failure you can get them back.

Re: [gentoo-user] Circular blocks after last night's sync?

[Allan Gottlieb]

I have unmerged all the files involved in the blockage

    allan Mail # emerge --ask --unmerge e2fsprogs e2fsprogs-libs ss com_err

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

    --- Couldn't find 'e2fsprogs' to unmerge.

    --- Couldn't find 'e2fsprogs-libs' to unmerge.

    --- Couldn't find 'ss' to unmerge.

    --- Couldn't find 'com_err' to unmerge.

    >>> No packages selected for removal by unmerge

But when I do an emerge world I still get the blockage
(I previously tried emerge -1 e2fsprogs, which brought in
e2fsprogs-libs, but still gave the blockage shown below).

This command was issued right after the testing unmerge above

    allan Mail # emerge --ask --verbose --deep --tree --newuse --update world

If you look at the emerge output below, you will see that all 4 are proceeded 
by [ebuild  N   ] which means they are not installed at all.

Botto line is that e2fsprogs-libs abd ss|com_err cannot co-exist on the same 
system, as e2fsprogs-libs implements what they do. Look at the *DEPEND in the 
ebuild to see what e2fsprogs-libs blocks.

I have a ~arch system, what I did way back when was to simply put ss and 
com_err in package.mask, and everything worked. I also have e2fsprogs and 
mit-krb5 installed, just like you do.

Use the ~ version of mit-krb5, any version above 1.6.3-r2 should be
okay. 

Also, please file a bug/stablization request about this against
mit-krb5.

It is already there http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=241670. The
e2fsprogs bug I mentioned before also depends on this one.

Careful with the unmerges.  Check the following for the gory details and
possible work arounds:

You are correct that emerge --unmerge will not remove the sources.  There are
some 'clean-up' utilities that will, but emerge will not.

I agree with the people suggesting the quickpkg to backup the existing
packages.  The emerge --fetchonly command is the way to go here, since
depending on the USE flags you used to build wget, there may be a deep
dependency on com_err.

Yes it is. I was extremely tempted to post a thread about this issue
last night that explained the issue and the fix, as there weren't any
posts about it yet but they were sure to come as people broke wget. It
slipped my mind though. :-\

Sadly, I did not read this until these were all unmerged, and wget is
truly broken.

Happily, I do run with buildpkg on all the time, but an this the first time I've
really needed them.  Getting back to a running system was pretty easy.

However, this does not really solve the problem.  What's a safe way to
do this emerge?

>=sys-apps/portage-2.1.5 but it is not stable at the moment too.

I mention the steps in the bug report:

You may also choose to mask the affected packages, or remove kerberos
support entirely.

Sorry, my systems came through this a while ago, with the ~ portage, so
I never really noticed.

For a safe solution:

$ emerge -uDf world                 # fetch the code
$ emerge -C e2fsprogs, ss, com_err  # clear the blockers
$ emerge -uD world                  # fix the system.

Sorry again,
Rob.

How does this circumstance break wget?

Hi,

I encountered the same problem.
I unmerged sys-libs/ss, sys-libs/com_err and sys-fs/e2fsprogs.
Of course everything was broken and wget did not work anymore...
So i downloaded sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.40.9.tar.gz with Firefox browser to
/usr/portage/distfile and put >sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.40.9 in package.mask.
Then I could emerge sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.40.9.
Now sys-libs/ss-1.40.9, sys-libs/com_err-1.40.9 and
sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.40.9 are installed and everything works fine.

Cheers,

Jacques

Please ignore my previous question about this. I see now why wget can break:

alan@nazgul ~ $ ldd `which wget` | grep -e com_err
        libcom_err.so.2 => /lib/libcom_err.so.2 (0x00007f75b34f1000)

How does this circumstance break wget?

Removing com_err will break wget depending on use flags it was compiled
with. That's probably what you missed.

This didn't work for me (but it does look safe).  I
needed to first add mit-krb5 to package.keywords

This was a real mess.
