[gentoo-user] preserved-rebuild acting strangely

[covici]

Hi.  I am using gentoo unstable and after this last update when I tried
to do emerge @preserved-rebuild I get the following:

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

Calculating dependencies  .... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "net-libs/xulrunner:1.9".
(dependency required by "@preserved-rebuild" [argument])

I have xulrunner 2.0 installed, although it looks like nothing depends
on that package, so I am not sure what is going on.  I looked at
/var/lib/portage/preserved-rebuild-registrybut can't find xulrunner
anywhere in that file.  How can I proceed?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I didn't know Gentoo specifically made an unstable version, it's
generally rock solid for me.

Buy unstable I meant ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86 ~amd64"

I have no ebuilds for xulrunner at all in the tree. But I will try as
you suggest because there seems to be nothing dependent on it.
Well, that did something good, now its going right along.

Thanks so much -- this is a great mailing list.

Never, ever add both ~amd64 and ~x86 at the same time in ACCEPT_KEYWORDS.

It's either ~amd64 or ~x86, but not BOTH.

Otherwise you risk breaking the system as ebuilds make assumptions based 
on keywords.

OK, thanks, I will do that.

That's 'testing', which usually means the ebuild mb slightly awkward,
but there are no known bugs; if there were, it wb 'masked'.

xulrunner is no longer in the tree.

What I would do is run ldd on everything in lib dirs and grep for
xulrunner to find which ancient package wants it. Then rebuild that package.
