• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description MZ 2011-07-26 09:47:58 UTC]

Hi, i using only sys-kernel/tuxonice-sources (now 2.6.38-r2), but after portage sync, emerge install also sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.0

emerge --update --deep --newuse world -p

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

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N     ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.0  USE="-build -deblob -symlink" 
[ebuild     U  ] virtual/linux-sources-3 [2.6] USE="-xrc%"

Reproducible: Always

This is because there is no tuxonice patchset for kernel-3 yet... maybe would be better to not use virtual/kernel-3 and use virtual/kernel-2.6 with ">=" deps as kernel-3 is supposed to not be a big jump from 2.6 series

Yes, and I'm aware of that:
<http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-kernel/msg_27543d69a98531cb8b5deae3964a53b2.xml>

I've removed linux-sources-3 again and changed dependencies in linux-sources-2.6 to >=2.6 which should fix the current issue.

There is nothing stopping you from masking >=virtual/linux-sources-3.   I don't really agree with this resolution, but whatever.
