Description Ian Smith 2002-05-05 06:39:51 UTC
Last version masked again?

sparky root # emerge -p -u world

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

Calculating world dependencies \
!!! Error: couldn't find match for dev-util/objprelink in update (likely old
/var/db/pkg entry)

Unmerge objprelink.  It does not work with the current binutils, and the older
that do support it have problems.

NOTE to bugwranglers .... danarmak is the objprelink guy ... I have only
played with combreloc ....
Comment 2 Dan Armak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-05-14 14:22:03 UTC
objprelink isn't masked, it's removed from portage altogether, and for a long time now! You must have old packages that depend on it registered in /var/db/pkg (really old though). Get rid of them, e.g. by finding them (grep files in /var/db/pkg for objprelink) and removing those deps from them. I'll be interested to know what they are? 
Comment 3 Ian Smith 2002-05-14 14:55:44 UTC
find /var/db/pkg -name *.ebuild | xargs grep objprelink

shows nothing.  I did unmerge objprelink shortly after opening this bug though . . .

It's not happening any more so that probably did it.
