Description Wayne Davison 2003-04-04 01:16:37 UTC

Now that someone has removed the python-fchksum-1.6.1 ebuild and there is
a line in package.mask that masks python-fchksum-1.6.1-r1, there are no
ebuilds left for for portage to depend on.  I assume that anyone attempting
to install gentoo would run into a problem running "emerge -u system".  I
get the following error if I use the --deep flag on my already-installed
system:

% emerge -vup --deep world

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

Calculating world dependencies \
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "dev-python/python-fchksum" have been masked.
!!!    (dependency required by "sys-apps/portage-2.0.47-r10" [ebuild])

!!! Problem with ebuild sys-apps/man-pages-1.56
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.

!!! Depgraph creation failed.

Someone has fixed this by removing the line from package.mask
that was masking dev-python/python-fchksum-1.6.1-r1.
