I am using an ARM beagleboard system on which I installed a stage 3 gentoo system which needs updating. It hangs when emerge try to install gettext. (see actual results) After googling, I found out this bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/249213 Quite similar but he has a compilation error on a missing API, as I got a file collision. It's not exactly the same so I fill this new bug with a link with something similar. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge gettext Actual Results: * Detected file collision(s): * /usr/include/libintl.h * Searching all installed packages for file collisions... * sys-libs/glibc-2.11-r1 * /usr/include/libintl.h Expected Results: gettext should be installed fine, as both gettext and glibc are needed on the system. I was digging through the problem and found out gettext normally wipe out libintl stuff on a glibc system through a use condition on his ebuild: # remove stuff that glibc handles if use elibc_glibc ; then rm -f "${D}"/usr/include/libintl.h rm -f "${D}"/usr/$(get_libdir)/libintl.* fi I tried to found out a way to know what "use elibc_glibc" result on my ARM system but I didn't find a lot of clues. Got this http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=1 and that http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/index.html but I'm not able to find myself a clean fix. (I'm not familiar with gentoo, I usually use debian or redhat) A (very) ugly fix can be found here http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6224547.html , as I manage to force the libintl stuff removing from gettext. On attachment, the full emerge log of gettext, gzip. Sorry I can't pinpoint the relevant informations on this. I set the bug as Major but in my opinion, it is blocker. But I already found a (ugly) way to unblock myself so I set down the severity. I can provide some help for trying a newly made ebuild which will work on ARM system. Feel free to ask.

Created attachment 225839 [details] full emerge log of gettext I'm not familiar enough with emerge to pinpoint the problem here.
Intresting profile choice, embedded/ with glibc. I believe you should be using default/linux/arm/10.0 instead and this problem would go away. That said. Moving to embedded maintainers to look at...
embedded/ is for uClibc only
(In reply to comment #3) > embedded/ is for uClibc only Not really. crossdev (defaults) a SYSROOT/etc/make.profile to $PORTDIR/profiles/embedded [which can be uClibc or glibc] However outside of cross-compiles people should not really use it, as it is far from a complete profile.
The root problem here is that said ebuilds don't list elibc_glibc in IUSE= (that needs to be corrected)
no package should need to list elibc_* in IUSE
Using commit message: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - elibc_glibc has to be defined in IUSE= for profiles that are unable to use.force that flag bug #312085 (Portage version: 2.1.8.2/cvs/Linux x86_64) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(In reply to comment #6) > no package should need to list elibc_* in IUSE Yes they have to be listed or bugs exactly like this one happen. It took me a while to track this down in the past (thanks zmedico). portage will not USE_EXPAND the variables unless they are forced or in IUSE=. The reason you don't see this happening normally is that most base/ profiles use.force elibc_glibc and kernel_linux
this is portage sucking, not a bug in ebuilds
(In reply to comment #9) > this is portage sucking, not a bug in ebuilds Take it up with the portage team. I will continue to fix ebuilds till portage behaves otherwise.
(In reply to comment #6) > no package should need to list elibc_* in IUSE The thing is, if we don't have a use.force or a use.mask for these flags, the next possible way to automatically identify them as being exempt from IUSE filtering is to match them against USE_EXPAND_HIDDEN in the profile. So, each time we calculate USE for a package we'll have run through all the flags and check for matches against elibc_*, kernel_*, userland_*, and anything else in USE_EXPAND_HIDDEN. If we're going to do that then we're going to have to optimize it pretty well or else it's going to cause a significant performance penalty for USE calculations (done during dependency calculations).
