After running emerge-webrysnc today (February 14) I tried to emerge nautilus and received this error: emerge nautilus -p These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies - !!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=gnome-base/libgnome-2.1.1" have been masked. !!! (dependency required by "gnome-base/nautilus-2.2.0.2" [ebuild]) After checking package.mask and libgnome-2.2.0.1.ebuild I couldn't see any reason for this package to be masked. After playing around with many things, on a whim I commented out the HOMEPAGE line of the ebuild. To my suprise, the output of emerge nautilus -p was different: These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies \ !!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=gnome-base/libgnomeui-2.1.1" have been masked. !!! (dependency required by "gnome-base/nautilus-2.2.0.2" [ebuild]) !!! Error calculating dependancies. Please correct. I then uncommented the line in the ebuild once more and received the same new output (ie, emerge was able to find the libgnome dependency). I am unable to use emerge rysnc due to a failure of this college to provide a real internet connection, and using emerge-webrsync is the only thing I can think of for why others haven't seen this (if they haven't). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge-webrysnc 2. emerge nautilus -p to see which dependency can't be found. Actual Results: emerge will be unable to find a dependency which is not masked by package.mask or any ~ARCH flags. Expected Results: emerge nautilus -p should be able to find all appropriate dependencies. Edit the ebuild file for the missing dependency in some arbitrary way and emerge nautilus -p will now be able to find it! cpu: processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 6 model : 3 model name : AMD Duron(tm) Processor stepping : 1 cpu MHz : 756.770 cache size : 64 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow bogomips : 1510.60 and I'm using default-x86-1.4
please paste #emerge info
martin, can this be closed or duplicated ? we know what the problem is right (corrupted cache) reporter, removing /var/cache/edb/dep/* should fix it.
of course, i'm just watching
martin sais ok, closing reporter if you still have this problem after suggested fix feel free to reopen.
