[gentoo-user] revdep-rebuild

[sean]

I recently removed compiz-fusion after playing with it for a while.
I thought I had removed all bits but revdep-rebuild wants to emerge
emerald again.

How can I best trace what package is trying to pull emerald again?

				Thanks

Add -pv --tree to the emerge command and look at the hierarchy.

Probably can do it through equery but I'd have to look up the command
myself so I'll leave that to you.

Hope this helps,
Mark

emerge -avuDt world (basically the -t flag). It will show what packages
are pulling in what.

Update your gcc-profile and re-emerge gcc, that should fix it.

Well, it says it's lacking the ebuild, so if that didn't work try an
"emerge --sync" and then revdep-rebuild.

Actually it look like revdep is writng emerge command wrong.
cat 4_ebuilds.rr
app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-soundlibs:0
sys-devel/gcc:x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6
sys-devel/gcc:x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.3.2

emerge -pv sys-devel/gcc:x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6
while emerge gcc or emerge - sys-devel/gcc:4.3 does.
hmm...

I remember having a similar issue. Try blocking all gcc versions prior to 4.0. As for uninstalling the current 3.x version -- I don't know how you would remove it since you need the ebuild script that initially installed the current 3.x on your system to remove it safely. Have you updated your systems profile (not gcc profile) or upgraded portage itself perhaps?

ebuilds for installed packages are stored in /var/db/pkg to solve this very 
problem.

It's very common to have to unmerge something that is not in the tree anymore. 
Plus, it's the only way to guarantee that the ebuild used to uninstall 
something is the same ebuild that installed it. ebuilds in the tree can be, 
and are, changed without version bumps

Assuming you've already done a full upgrade of world, and don't have
anything strange masked/keyworded, I would try:

emerge --oneshot sys-apps/sysvinit sys-apps/util-linux

or maybe each one at a time if that doesn't work. If one at a time
doesn't work, maybe try to unmerge util-linux, upgrade sysvinit, then
reinstall util-linux. Be sure to make binary package of util-linux
before unmerging just in case it all goes wrong.

Looks like there was already a thread about this a couple months ago,
see here for better answers :)

Re: [gentoo-user] revdep-rebuild

[Willie Matthews]

I have decided to upgrade my system. I haven't done it for awhile
because it takes so long on a Intel Nano with 1GB of RAM. I normally
only upgrade the programs I use to most along with any upgrade
requirements that it has. This may be what is causing all of my problems.
