Bug 202788 – >=app-admin/syslog-ng-2.0.0 needs to be masked for uclibc profiles

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Wolfgang Thiess 2007-12-19 14:55:19 UTC]

syslog-ng >= 2.0 requires glib. glib is maked for uclibc. Therefore >=app-admin/syslog-ng-2.0.0 needs to be masked for uclibc profiles as well.

root@NSLU2 ~ # emerge -vp syslog-ng

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies \
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=dev-libs/glib-2.2" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-libs/glib-2.8.6 (masked by: profile)
- dev-libs/glib-2.10.3 (masked by: profile)
- dev-libs/glib-2.10.3-r1 (masked by: profile, ~arm keyword)

- dev-libs/glib-2.14.3 (masked by: profile)
- dev-libs/glib-2.14.4 (masked by: profile, ~arm keyword)

refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

There is no need to mask every single ebuild that depends upon glib-2 
as the masking of glib2 will prevent later items from being installed.

Also many of us use a patched up glib2 which allows us to compile and install 
other programs which dep on glib2...

This is what I use..
