[gentoo-user] gui-libs/egl-wayland and x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers dependency conflict.

Howdy,

I posted about this once before but also included pipewire and others. 
We addressed the other problems but this wasn't really fixed it would
seem.  I found the old thread.  This is what I get today.

suspect it will be worse after the email moves things around.  I hate to
say it but they just don't help.  This is what is available in the tree.

Ignore the drivers in overlay.  Keep those just in case.  ;-)  To me, it
looks like the new egl thing isn't liking the nvidia drivers yet.  I
admit, my card is a bit old but hey, it works very well.  This is the
USE flags for both.

Is there a proper long term fix for this or do I need to mask the egl
package until things catch up?  As long as things work, I'm fine with
masking and waiting.  I just figure there may be a better fix I'm
missing.  Maybe someone else sees it. 

Thanks much.

The ^ points to the ~ character above it, and the ^^^^^ points to 1.1.7, the  
version of egl-wayland, so the version you want to merge won't satisfy 
nvidia-drivers.

Does that help?

Is there a setting or some other way to configure portage to use
e.g. standout mode here, instead of "^"s?

Others already answered about the arrows and the meaning of them, but
I just wanted to chime in and say that there's no reason to mask
anything at the moment, it is just a warning from portage that it
can't upgrade egl-wayland because nvidia-drivers requires the older
version. If the drivers are ever updated to allow for newer
egl-wayland, any masks would just make the upgrade more of a chore.

Arve

That's my thinking as well.  Sometimes tho decoding the output of emerge
can be tricky and isn't always obvious.  After I hit send for the
original message, I tried masking the new version of the egl package. 
It gave a clean upgrade path BUT that package isn't up to date, just as
up to date as it can be at the moment.  ;-)

Do you think this is a bug or anything else that may come to mind?  I
even wonder if my video card is old enough that it is losing support.  I
thought of getting a newer video card but other than being newer, I
really don't need any better since I don't do anything that puts a load
on the card I have.  I check the power setting and most of the time, it
is on level 0 or level 1 if I'm watching something in 1080p on TV.  It
rarely goes to full power, level 2.  Even the fan generally sits at 40%
RPM.  Which reminds me, I need to give that thing a blowing out.  Those
things catch dust bunnies.  :/ 

After getting that pipewire and friends problem solved, I'm getting
close to some pretty easy updates.  :-D

:-)  :-) 

P. S.  This list is a lot quieter than it used to be.  The emerge
command and its friends are just getting better and better.  It can work
out a update path in most all cases, even when we give it some really
bad options.  Hats off to the devs.  :-D  :-D

Usually when I mask something that I hope is a temporary thing, I remove
or comment out the mask after the update is done.  That way it pops back
up on the next upgrade.  I sometimes put a note with it as well.  My
memory isn't that great.  By next week, I'll be like 'egl what'???  :/  
That note reminds me.  Gives my old brain a clue.  LOL

It may be a while before those old drivers get updated.  Those old cards
don't get much attention. 

Thanks for the info tho.  It helps.

While at it.  Unrelated really but why not.  Why does genlop -c show two
running for this?

I notice there is a slot for version 6 and when it was compiling, it
showed only one in the list like below.  However, slot 5 always shows
there is two running like above.  I've never seen it do this with any
other package, large or small.  It only does it with slot 5 version of
qtwebengine.  This is slot 6 from earlier.

By the way, that time isn't exactly right.  It takes a while but not
that long.  Anyone else see this?  It's done this for a good while. 
Just kinda weird.  o_O
