[gentoo-user] Curious emerge behaviour.

[gentoo-user] Curious emerge behaviour.

[James Homuth]

I went to run emerge update, and it threw this curious little block 
loop at me. "emerge --pretend --quiet --update --deep world" produces:
[blocks B     ] sys-apps/mktemp (is blocking 
sys-apps/coreutils-6.10-r2) 

[blocks B     ] >=sys-apps/coreutils-6.10 (is blocking 
sys-apps/mktemp-1.5)

Anyone else having this particular problem? Is it a compatibility 
issue with either coreutils or mktemp? I'm assuming removing the one 
will eliminate it, but if it's a needed package I'd rather not chance 
it. Any info on this one would be greatly appreciated.

James

Yes, I've had this problem and I am sure many others did too...mktemp
was a seperate package, but is now included in coreutils. All you have
to do is emerge -C mktemp and then update to the new version of
coreutils. I've done this on at least 3 comps, so it should work for
you with no problems for you.

If you just searched the archives...

New coreutils contains mktemp -> coreutils blocks mktemp -> emerge -C mktemp 
&& emerge coreutils

HTH...

Will the package itself be removed at some point? And if so, I'm 
assuming Portage will take care of killing it from my system at that point?

Pretty standrad blocker - been around for a while on ~arch.

coreutils now provides what used to be in mktemp, so

emerge -C mktemp ; emerge coreutils

will sort it

No, why should it? You have to tell it to do so.

Newer versions of portage, will take care of those standard blockers themself.

However that will leave you without the mktemp binary while coreutils gets 
built. Unlikely to be a problem, unless a reboot happens in the middle, and 
still probably quite recoverable.

I've taken to making sure the collision-protect FEATURE is not set (which it 
isn't by default I believe), then removing the mktemp portage DB entry.
# mv /var/db/pkg/sys-apps/mktemp-1.5/ ~
With mktemp apparently not installed, no blocker exists, and you've still got 
the binary. Portage will complain when it comes to install the new coreutils, 
but just ignore it's complaint.
