Bug 29426 – # emerge -k sys-fs/reiserfsprogs :: Provided an error regarding masking.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: [OLD] Docs-user

[Description Charles 2003-09-23 07:39:29 UTC]

# emerge -k sys-fs/reiserfsprogs :: Provided an error regarding masking and 
could not install the package.

# emerge - reiserfsprogs installed the correct package.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use LiveCD Installation Instructions for Stage 3 GPR
2.Follow Install Doucment instructions and choose reiserfs for main partition
3.Attempt to load reiserfsprogs via the comand listed in sectin "17. 
Installing miscellaneous necessary packages"


Actual Results:  
An error listing masking and linking issues. Sorry did not document the error 
message (Really sorry - I know better - It was very late). It appears that 
emerge did not "understand" what package to add/

Expected Results:  
Load reiserfsprogs package.

emerge -k resierfsprogs worked fine and installation was compelted. 1st boot 
was successful.

I chose to configure my kernal via emerge --config form step "16. Installing 
the kernel and system logger" but did not change any of the settings because I 
was not sure about the PCMCIA settings. I doubt this had any effect at all.

I misspelled reiserfsprogs in the additional info. 
#emerge -k reiserfs

This is due to the portage snapshot (and GRP packages) in the LiveCDs still uses sys-apps category and not sys-fs (which was just created a few days ago)..
A new maintenance LiveCD (drobbins ?) or 1.4.1 will fix this.

Marked it as LATER.

Created attachment 18238 [details, diff]
gentoo-x86-install.xml.diff

dropped the sys-fs for now since the LiveCDs still uses sys-apps category in
its portage snapshot
