Hi, I want to perform an upgrade on my system where I dont have alsa-driver installed because I have alsa in the kernel and it's playing fine, I have masked gentoo-sources because I dont't want to upgrade my kernel for the moment. the problem is that I have alsa-utils-1.0.8 and when upgrading to current alsa-utils-1.0.9a it wants to install alsa-driver. A few outputs: gnelson nelson # emerge -pv --update world --- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.keywords: =media-libs/gst-plugins-0.8.9 -r2-0.8.9-r2 --- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.mask: >sys-libs/glibc-2.3.4-20041102-r1 These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies / !!!

What did you put in /etc/portage/package.mask to mask the kernel? By the way, you seem to use the wrong version for your glibc masking and gst-plugins in keywords.

You need at least one provider of alsa drivers. If you unmask *all* gentoo-sources versions, and don't tell portage to look for another kernel sources package, it tries to install alsa-driver to satisfy virtual/alsa requirement.
Sorry Diego but I could not understand well how to proceed, you mean is a misconfiguration of mine and not a gentoo bug, but how can I fixit or workaround it ?

First of all, emerging latest sources doesn't change your kernel, it just installs the sources, so you should be safe. If you want not to install them, mask all the versions greater than the one you already have, but leave one unmasked to let alsa know that you have it.
Ok, now I understand better, I've done what you said, I put in package.mask: >sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.11-r6 (version I have installed) But now updating world portage want to downgrade to 2.6.9-r9, see: gnelson nelson # emerge -pv --update world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies ...done!

Btw, I've just read Gentoo Linux Kernel upgrade guide[1], and it seems new sources install in different slot so it preserves old sources :).. [1]http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kernel-upgrade.xml
