[gentoo-user] Forced rebuild of a package...how?

[tuxic]

Hi,

after installing linux-4.15.1 (downloaded from kernel.org) I want to
reinstall (beside others) nvidia drivers.

Emerge told me:
|    >emerge nvidia-drivers
|    Calculating dependencies... done!
|    >>> Jobs: 0 of 0 complete                           Load avg: 1.05, 0.65, 0.34
|    >>> Auto-cleaning packages...
|    
|    >>> No outdated packages were found on your system.


That is valid for the previous installed kernel...but not for the one 

This was updated just before
Sun Feb  4 04:21:46 2018 <<< sys-apps/portage-2.3.23
Sun Feb  4 04:21:51 2018 >>> sys-apps/portage-2.3.24

My make.conf has this options:
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--jobs=4 --load-average=4 --changed-deps-report=n --changed-deps"


Thanks for any help in advance!

Cheers
Meino

I tested this here.  Like you, I added --changed-deps to make.conf with
the plan to remove it later.  It seems when that is put there, it
doesn't emerge like it usually would.  It acts like it is looking for a
update not a re-emerge of the same version.  However, when I removed
that option, it works as it should.  I don't know why it does that but
that is what it is doing.  So, remove --changed-deps and try again.  It
should work.

Is that a bug?  Don't know.  It may be that it is intentional but maybe
it shouldn't be. 

Hope that helps.

Hi Dale,

thanks for the info and help!

Just a few seconds before I found the reason for all that reasons :)

It seems that -- exactly as you said -- this option prevents
reemergeing of the same packages again.

If you want to force an update "gnu/foobar" (for example) you need to
submit

    emerge --selective=n gnu/foobar

which temporarily overwrites --changed-deps.

By the way: I appreciate helps like yours much more than just pointing
to the obvious docs. ;)

Cheers!

I noticed this behavior the other day.  I just didn't have a chance to
look into it at the time then forgot about it.  When I saw your post, it
reminded me that I ran into the same issue.  It was time to look into it
and see if it made that difference.  Now we know. 

With that option, I don't know if the module-rebuild set would work or
not.  I suspect it may result in the same.  To be honest, I don't use it
because the only one there is for me is nvidia-drivers. 

Glad to help.  It's not like I don't get help from this list on
occasion.  ;-)

As a side-note, I recommend using this instead:

   emerge @module-rebuild

which will rebuild all external modules, so you don't have to remember 
or know which packages install external kernel modules.

I'm using this script to automate the process:

$ cat /etc/kernel/postinst.d/70-emerge-module-rebuild
#!/bin/bash
exec env -i PATH=$PATH /usr/bin/emerge -1v --usepkg=n @module-rebuild

(I don't know why "env -i PATH=$PATH" is needed but otherwise it won't
work correctly sometimes)


You could add "--changed-deps=n" there because otherwise it won't play
well with using "--changed-deps" as a default.

Now, when you run "make modules_install install", it will automatically
rebuild kernel modules.

BTW, I have another script to also install the kernel in systemd-boot
which also rebuilds initramfs (dracut here):

$ cat /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-systemd-boot
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/kernel-install remove $1 $2
/usr/bin/kernel-install add $1 $2

After reading the rest of the thread, it is now:

$ cat /etc/kernel/postinst.d/70-emerge-module-rebuild
#!/bin/bash
exec env -i PATH=$PATH /usr/bin/emerge -1v --usepkg=n --selective=n @module-rebuild
