Your sysvinit is 2.88-r1. Try upgrading it to 2.88-r3, as wanted by util-linux.

You may have to unmask it in /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords

Hi,

is it normal/ok, that an unmasked package pulls in a masked one?

Re: [gentoo-user] Important package blocked by another important package

[Pandu Poluan]

If you checked sysvinit's changelog, the latest (-r3) has a note about
something that sysvinit will no longer make because it's now provided
by unix-utils. (Sorry, I forgot what, exactly).

So in this case, installing sysvinit < -r3 will conflict with unix-utils.

It is not that unknown -- in the Gentoo world -- for a stable package
to pull in an unstable package, because packages don't get stabilized
at the same time.

So, just put in the line '=sys-apps/sysvinit-2.88-r3 ~amd64 ~x86' in
/etc/portage/package.accept_keywords and be merry :)

Personally, I'd put '<=sys-apps/sysvinit-2.88-r99 ~amd64 ~x86' in that
file. I have the conviction that versions with greater '-r' would be
better, since it's a revision to the same version.

(Of course, this bit me once, when a hardened-sources with larger -r
is buggy; but the problem was fixed with a newer -r after two or three
days.)

Rgds,

It is not unknown, but it is wrong. Stable packages should never pull in
testing packages and a bug report should be filed.

'~sys-apps/sysvinit-2.88 ~amd64 ~x86' does the same as ~ matches on all
'-r' of a specific version so in this case it matches everything from
sys-apps/sysvinit-2.88-r1 to sys-apps/sysvinit-2.88-r999999 (and even above)

Why unmask for two arches ~amd64 and ~x86?

Because I don't know Meino's arch ;)

Or, to be more precise, I have a common package.accept_keywords for
all my Gentoo systems, some of them x86 and others amd64, so it's a
habit of mine to unmask both :)

That's right. Not unknown, but incorrect.

Sorry for not writing that, I just kind of forgot.

It's just as easy to unmask neither. If an entry in package.unmask does
not specify an arch, portage automatically using the testing version of
whatever is in make.conf.

PS, please don't top post.

util-linux-2.20 is ~arch. An ~arch portage should resolve this block
automatically. Are you running a mixture of stable and testing packages?

Hi,

I finally did this, but got further problems:


solfire:/root>emerge --color=n -p -v --newuse --update --deep world

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

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild     U ~] sys-apps/util-linux-2.20 [2.19.1-r1] USE="cramfs crypt ncurses nls perl unicode -loop-aes -old-linux (-selinux) -slang -static-libs% (-uclibc)" 4,507 kB
[ebuild     U ~] sys-apps/sysvinit-2.88-r3 [2.88-r2] USE="(-ibm) (-selinux) -static" 0 kB
[blocks b      ] <sys-apps/sysvinit-2.88-r3 ("<sys-apps/sysvinit-2.88-r3" is blocking sys-apps/util-linux-2.20)

Total: 2 packages (2 upgrades), Size of downloads: 4,507 kB



The entry in package.keywords is:

<=sys-apps/sysvinit-2.88-r999 ~amd64

That's not a problem, merely information. the lower case b on the block
means that portage is able to resolve it. Let the emerge proceed and all
will be fine.

For the benefit of x86 users, this pair of mutual blocks seems to have hit stable recently (in the last 5 weeks since I last updated world). 

Stable portage (2.1.10.44) doesn't automagically resolve the blocks. 

Seems like it's safe to resolve this with:
   emerge -C sys-apps/sysvinit && emerge -1 sys-apps/util-linux sys-apps/sysvinit 

I've just done that and it's all completed happily with no errors. I haven't rebooted, yet, but I have a degree of confidence everything's ok with this.

I guess there's no-one on this list who needs to know this (so please don't feel obligated to respond about how I should use an unstable portage which will handle these blockers automagically), but I make this comment for the sake of posterity and the archives, so it can be found on Google if anyone else is looking in the next few days, weeks or (heaven forbid!) months. April onwards, feel free to hit reply and ask me for an update.

Stroller.
