I think that the combination of USE and DEPEND rules like: 'postgres? ( =dev-db/postgresql-7.1.3* )' makes the world update a hell to manage with the new portage-1.8.9 because it enforce strict dependencies: I have install the lastes version of: dev-db/postgresql-7.2-r1 dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.0-r1 if I try: 'emerge --pretend dev-db/postgresql' I get Calculating dependencies \ !!! Error: couldn't find match for =virtual/jdk-1.3 in dev-db/postgresql-7.2-r1 -- this is part of bug 713 JDBC can't compiler under jdk-1.4 but the current ebuild should leave out JDBC support if jdk-1.4 is installed and I have qt version 2 install -- if I try 'emerge --pretend x11-libs/qt' I get Calculating dependencies | !!! Error: couldn't find match for ~dev-lang/python-2.1.1 in dev-db/postgresql-7.1.3-r4 This is from QT-3 that require postgresql-7.1.3. But I only need version qt-2 for KDE 2.2 :-) emerge --pretend --update world Calculating world dependencies - !!! Error: couldn't find match for ~dev-lang/python-2.1.1 in dev-db/postgresql-7.1.3-r4
Why will system update not update sys-kernel/linux-sources to 2.4.19 ? Is linux-source moved to 'world' ? mover them severity from critical to major:-).
This problem is related to the instalation of app-doc/qt-docs-3.0.3 Dependencies are: app-doc/qt-docs-3.0.3 --> =x11-libs/qt-3 --> dev-db/postgresql-7.1.3 --> ~dev-lang/python-2.1.1 I can't have installed/run dev-db/postgresql-7.1.3 and dev-db/postgresql-7.2 the same problem is with dev-lang/python-2.2 and dev-lang/python-2.1.1 I can't compile/build all python module/ebuild agains 2.2 and 2.1.1 and how can postgresql-7.1.3 pick python-2.1.1 If I install python-2.1.1 will portage/ebuild work :-)? if not I can't install QT-3 (I can make a workaround). Can the calculating world dependencies error be change to a warning like portage-1.8.8? I got 'emerge --pretend --update world' working and did a rsync try again and got: Calculating world dependencies - !!! Error: couldn't find match for net-im/gnomemeeting in update (likely old /var/db/pkg entry) the only change from rsync was profiles/package.mask -- I have net-im/gnomemeeting/gnomemeeting-0.84.0.ebuild ? emerge --version Portage 1.8.11
Is this still an issue with the new portages Lars?
No, it is fixed :-).
