[gentoo-user] How to fix license error during install?

[Jeffrey Walton]

Hi Everyone,

I'm having trouble installing Gentoo in a Virtual Box VM for testing.
It is a x86_64 guest. I selected a hardened profile to test PaX, which
means I selected 18 in 'eselect profile'.

I'm at "Configuring the Linux kernel" in the Handbook
(https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Installation/Kernel#Alternative:_Using_genkernel).
The part "emerge --ask sys-kernel/gentoo-sources" seems OK and does
not report errors. The genkernel part fails.

The specific error is:

$ LICENSE_ACCEPT="*" emerge --ask --autounmask-write
sys-kernel/genkernel 2>&1 | tee kernel.txt
$ cat kernel.txt

 * IMPORTANT: 6 config files in '/etc/portage' need updating.

for a single package.

    Format:

        - one DEPEND atom per line followed by additional licenses or groups

Removing LICENSE_ACCEPT="*" and --autounmask-write does not help.

The information provided in portage(5) and package.license leaves a
lot to be desired.

What is the problem and how do I fix it?

Well, you need to change your config files as portage asked you to do
before proceeding.  There are several utilities to do that, I use
etc-update, but there are several others.

Thanks John.

The Handbook does not say to make any configuration changes. That
seems safe to me since I have no idea what changes to make.

The manual is a starting point, not a step by step guide that tells you enough by itself.  You have to pay attention to what your' system is telling you and look up the things you don't understand.  A lack of configuration of many files will doom later steps.  For example, if you lack substantial shell experience, and even if you don't you will have to learn new things, on your' own or with some help from the list.  If you just do the basic things in the manual, you won't get anywhere.  It's more of an outline with some steps well documented, some over documented, and some not documented properly unless you are smart enough too look up error messages and do what is required.  Most if not all the info is on the gentoo site, but it's your' job to find it.  It's a learning experience,  not a complete and detailed set of instructions.  Part of this is because you have options, you have to chose how some things will be done and investigate.  I strongly recommend using a "tee" etc. to dump everything into text files you can skim.  Often compiling will produce specific suggestions that won't be on the last page of text that scrowls by, you have to read ALL of the output from each step, and learn enough to have some understanding of why and how which will require research on the gentoo site, and often other sites.  You have to modify the "USE" files for each application, as your' machine will tell you, that's actually the easy part.  The hard part involves dealing with issues you don't understand yet.  You have to learn, you have to try and want to learn, and you have to pay attention to what your' computer etc. is trying to tell you.  It's not as trivial as the manual may imply at first.  The people who wrote the various support materials are usually very experienced, that make it hard to anticipate everything someone less experienced may need to be told.  Think about rebuilding an engine, for a highly experienced mechanic it's easy and obvious, to  someone less experienced it requires real thought and learning many things you don't already have burned into your' brain from years of experience.  Fully supporting the less experienced (like myself frankly) is always challenging, because when you learn you won't remember everything to tell someone else in advance, it will be interactive by it's very nature.  Understanding some concepts may be easy for one person, but difficult for another, and it will vary from person to person, brains are not identical.

You have an instruction from portage that starts with IMPORTANT, and
tells you where to learn how to do what it asks. Generally, when portage
talks to you like this, you should take notice.

Portage does not overwrite config files in /etc, instead it creates a
temporary file containing the new version so that you can manage the
changes with etc-update or equivalent. Your licence file changes have
been handled in this way and it is up to you to complete the final step
to apply those changes.

OK, remember where it said at the end of your portage output that
there were several configuration files that needed updating?  Run
etc-update and you will see the differences between the current and
new configuration files and you will see the necessary changes and you
should accept them and try your emerge again after accepting them.

As others have already commented, the notices in CAPITAL case above are not to 
be ignored.  Packages you installed require changing/updating their 
configuration files in /etc/, which portage won't do without your review and 
manual intervention.

There are a variety of tools to perform this configuration files update.  The 
notice provided by portage also tells you where to look:

So run 'man emerge' then type:

/CONFIGURATION\ FILES

and hit enter to search for "CONFIGURATION FILES" in the man page of the 
emerge command.

Additional information on the etc-update (installed by default) and other 
tools is given here:

When you ran '--autounmask-write' emerge saved some files specific to the 
license changes and perhaps other packages in /etc/ - it will not apply these 
automatically.  You have to merge or reject these yourself by using 'etc-
update'.  The interactive merge feature of 'etc-update' and other similar 
tools is quite useful when many changes need to be reviewed and applied on 
long configuration files.  Some of these changes you may want to apply, others 
reject, often within the same file.

Eventually you'll get the hang of this and go through the steps without much 
consternation.

HTH.
