Description Michael Imhof (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-09 16:12:48 UTC
emerge -p -u world

These are the packages that I would merge, in order.

Calculating world dependencies /

!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "virtual/linux-sources" have been masked.
!!!    (dependency required by "media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.3123-r2" [ebuild])

You should have one of the gentoo linux sources installed.  If you do not
want this, then do somethign like:

  # emerge inject sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.19-r10

Which will only add the entry, and not merge it.  Unfortunately we need to
make sure some kind of kernel sources are installed, so the user have to
either merge one, or do above to satisfy dependencies ...

Comment 2 Michael Imhof (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-10 15:52:56 UTC
What kernels in sys-kernel count as "gentoo linux sources" ?
I'm asking as virtual/linux-sources does not intend that gentoo-sources are
meant and as i have kernel sources installed i thought they count as linux
sources...
Comment 3 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-10 16:21:39 UTC
All are supposed to provide virtual/linux-sources .. if not, file a bug to
maintainer of that package ...
Comment 4 Michael Imhof (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-12-10 18:02:54 UTC
openmosix-sources provide "virtual/linux-sources" but were not recognized by
portage.
I had openmosix-sources merged when the bug occured.
Now, after injecting gentoo-sources everything works fine --> strange
