for last two days i'm getting this error message (i also tried 'emerge --clean rsync', but it didn't help) when trying to update root@tool bzd # emerge rsync ... root@tool bzd # emerge --update world --pretend These are the packages that I would merge, in order. Calculating world dependencies | !!! Error: couldn't find match for virtual/glu in x11-libs/qt-3.0.4.1-r1 well, masking this package in package.mask helps, but it's a pain to do it every time after rsync'ing. maybe it should be masked permanently, or maybe i need to get 'glu' on my box somehow...
hat's really odd, because the resolution for virtual/glu is x11-base/xfree. What does 'emerge -p virtual/glu' say?
same problem here sparky root # emerge -p virtual/glu These are the packages that I would merge, in order. Calculating dependencies !!! Couldn't find match for virtual/glu; aborting.
well, i've managed to solve the problem, but not in the way i'm satisfied with. i remerged xfree, so virtuals/glu is now seen by portage. i guess it was a remainder of some obsolete portage issues (my gentoo is 'constantly upgraded' 1.0_rc6). everything works fine now, but i'd be aware of such problems in the future. regards, artb.
