[gentoo-user] cryptsetup and cryptsetup-luks

[Harry Putnam]

I'm running an update world.  I have cryptsetup in stalled.
emerge -vpuD  world tells me crypsetup is blocking cryptsetup-luks.

[blocks B ] sys-fs/cryptsetup (is blocking sys-fs/cryptsetup-luks-1.0.1-r2)
[blocks B ] sys-fs/cryptsetup-luks (is blocking sys-fs/cryptsetup-0.1-r3)


I don't really want to install cryptsetup-luks since cryptsetup seems
to be working just fine and I'd sooner just keep it.

How can I tell this to portage?

Seems like you already have cryptsetup-luks installed. Try unmerging luks
and then updating cryptsetup. Perhaps something else you emerge depended
on luks.

Prior to unmerging, try

equery depends cryptsetup-luks

and see what pops up.

Seems to be the other way round:
esearch cryptsetup:
*  sys-fs/cryptsetup
      Latest version available: 0.1-r3
      Latest version installed: 0.1-r3

*  sys-fs/cryptsetup-luks
      Latest version available: 1.0.1-r2
      Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]

It appears from this I should probably uninstall cryptsetup and let
cryptsetup-luks get installed.

Well, before that, try and examine each module that is to be emerged and
see which ones want luks. Perhaps there is a broken ebuild which is
causing the problem. Normally, there are checks that prevent this kind of
circular error.

Do emerge -puNDvt world and see where luks is showing. There is no need
for luks unless you specifically need it. That's what the emerge command
will show. 

Good luck

[nomerge      ]  sys-apps/pmount-0.9.6  USE="crypt" 
[ebuild  N    ]   sys-fs/cryptsetup-luks-1.0.1-r2  USE="nls -dynamic" 0 kB 

Does the `noemerge' just mean its not installing in this output or
that it won't be installed unless cryptsetup-luks is ...?

kde-base/kdebase-kioslaves-3.5.1  depends on pmount so I guess
I'll keep it.

But this doesn't really answer why I didn't get better output on the
test emerge -vuDp world... does it?

the vt in the emerge command shows a tree. This output means that pmount
(which is already emerged) depeneds on cryptsetup-luks. This now explains
your problem. You already have cryptsetup installed, but pmount wants
luks. I don't know how you could have emerged this before without luks
trying to come in.

Well, you need to fix things first. See below.

It's the t for tree command in emerge that gets you better output.

pmount explictly wants luks. So, if that's the case, you must first
unmerge cryptsetup and then do your normal emerge -uD world. luks should
come in.

I would do some research first and make sure you won't hose any encrypted
filesystems you may have. You may also want to check why pmount can't work
with regular cryptsetup. Maybe it's a developer bug? Check bugzilla.

This means that pmount is already installed, with the crypt USE flag,
which causes a dependancy on cryptsetup-luks, which conflicts with
your already installed cryptsetup.  You need "echo sys-apps/pmount
-crypt >>/etc/portage/package.use".

In this case, it means already merged.

Yes, it does.

It didn't hose my partition and mounts it fine so all is well here.
Thanks..
