error trying to do world update

[pajamabama]

I'm attempting to follow the instructions on the wiki regarding doing world update. I get to the point of trying to do the world update and get this

Code: Select all

Oberon ~ # emerge -uN --world
>>> cfg-update-1.8.0-r6: No new packages have been emerged, checksum index OK!
Calculating world dependencies -
!!! Ebuilds for the following packages are either all
!!! masked or don't exist:
media-plugins/gst-plugins-dts media-plugins/gst-plugins-mikmod media-libs/gst-plugins media-plugins/gst-plugins-dvdnav

... done!

!!! Error: the <app-accessibility/festival-1.96_beta package conflicts with another package;
!!!        the two packages cannot be installed on the same system together.
!!!        Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers.

I've tried masking that app-accessibility package but that doesn't seem to help. Anyone got any ideas what's going on here?

Thanks.

moved to correct forum

do as it tells ya

Please use 'emerge --pretend' to determine blockers.

take care of the blockers

as easy as that eh?

Code: Select all

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

Calculating world dependencies -
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=app-text/poppler-bindings-0.5.91" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- app-text/poppler-bindings-0.5.91 (masked by: package.mask)
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:

# release candidate


For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "app-text/evince-0.9.3" [ebuild])



!!! Problem resolving dependencies for app-text/evince
!!! Depgraph creation failed.


I have tried adding
>=app-text/poppler-bindings-0.5.91
to the .keywords file

no change

I have tried

emerge -C app-text/evince

I see it unmerge but this changes nothing

even after a revdep rebuild , no change

ok ... I have always had problems with this damn package
off and on for at least the last year

any advice?




edit:

Missing keyword

If portage says: "masked by: missing keyword" while emerging, it means that the packages isn't available for your architecture yet, i.e. you are running x86_64 and the package has for instance "x86" keyword only. If you really need that package, then you can try: echo "category/package x86 ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords to override it for package in a category. (Note: I've used the unstable "~x86" since the rest of Sabayon is running with unstable keywords anyway). As Gentoo is source based there's good chance of package compiling and working without modifications.

More info here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/Masked
_______________________
/etc/portage/package.keywords

This file is used to run unstable packages on stable systems or ebuilds that haven't been tested on your platform. This file isn't that important to Sabayon users, but gentoo-wiki.com has more information if you are interested.

ok sorry I missed that bit..

but what to do with (masked by: package.mask)

[wolfden]

you should just be able to add to package.unmask
>=app-text/poppler-bindings-0.5.91
=app-text/poppler-0.5.91
=app-text/evince-0.9.3

So I'm not sure what this means. I'm getting the same problem with another package (I unmerged and remerged the first problem one and that somehow fixed it). When I --pretend it, this is what I get:

Code: Select all

In the world update it wants to move it to a new version and gives me conflicts. If I just try to update that package it says there's nothing to do. Notice world update refers to v1.7.4a-r1 while otherwise it refers to v-1.6.10, which is already installed.

what does this mean? Why doesn't the normal upgrade see the new version? I can't see what's blocking it.

ps. sorry about posting to the wrong forum

[wolfden]

weird, could try equery depends hplip to see what pulls it

you could just try masking anything higher than your current version too. It might than spit out what needs that version. I don't need hplip since I don't have a hp printer so I just emerge -C hplip from the very get go.

[pajamabama]

well, looking on the gentoo wiki, it appears that I could use the more limited package hpijs instead. This might be a simple way around, if not really a solution. I only print maybe 3 pages a year but it is an HP. Although I hate the idea of limiting functionality that should be there (even if I never use it ). I have a lappy, I like to know I can take it places and make it work.

[wolfden]

well keep in mind to with portage, it's always changing. A emerge --sync tomorrow can make a lot of problems go away too, of course it can add more too.

you should just be able to add to package.unmask
>=app-text/poppler-bindings-0.5.91
=app-text/poppler-0.5.91
