Description Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-04-02 07:17:26 UTC
drobbins: sorry about this.  You asked me to find bugs, and I think this is one.
 Based on your convo with Bevin earlier, I snuck into postgresql's ebuild
locally, and changed ~dev-lang/python-2.1.1 to =dev-lang/python-2.1.1* but I
still get this error.  The error also happened with with the ~ dep, just so you
know.


nebuchadnezzar pkg # emerge -p --update world

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

Calculating world dependencies -
!!! Error: couldn't find match for =dev-lang/python-2.1.1* in
dev-db/postgresql-7.1.3-r4

nebuchadnezzar pkg # grep postgresq `find ./ -iname 'RDEPEND'`
./x11-libs/qt-3.0.2/RDEPEND:    postgres? ( =dev-db/postgresql-7.1.3* )
./app-admin/aide-0.8/RDEPEND:   postgres? ( dev-db/postgresql )

See bug 1448 for the same problem.

The behaviour of 'Calculating world dependencies' have change from warning to a
error.

If all ebuild of package is removed from /usr/portage you get:   

Calculating world dependencies /
!!! Error: couldn't find match for media-gfx/nvidia in update (likely old
/var/db/pkg entry)  -- the fix is to remove it from /var/cache/edb/world

have you moved to the new nvidia driver set?  it is now
media-video/nvidia-kernel and media-video/nvidia-glx.  The old media-gfx/nvidia
is deprecated.  Please see: http://www.gentoo.org/news/20020207-nvidia.html

Portage seems to be behaving much better now.
