Description Markus Walter 2011-09-04 16:54:10 UTC
I've got virtual/blas-2.0 from the science-overlay installed. Unfortunately this does not seem to install one of the required dependencies. The dependencies are as follows. 

>=sci-libs/blas-reference-3.3
>=dev-cpp/eigen-3.0.1-r1
>=sci-libs/atlas-3.8.4[fortran]
sci-libs/openblas
>=sci-libs/acml-4.4
>=sci-libs/gotoblas2-1.13
>=sci-libs/mkl-10.3
!>sci-libs/blas-reference-20070225

From these I've only got dev-cpp/eigen-2.0.15 installed (which is pulled in by blenders dependency on dev-cpp/eigen:2). Doing a 'emerge virtual/blas' in various tries did never install anything from the list.

If I manually install blas-reference and then execute 'emerge --depclean' blas-reference is removed from the system.

I'm quite quizzed as to what's happening here, but I don't have a blas library on my system and thus several packages which have virtual/blas as a dependency fail to build. I'm inclined to take this as a bug in portage (of which I'm using 2.2.0_alpha52).

Reproducible: Always

This is might be a bit like bug 380549, but the original poster there never got to check which real package got installed.

So:
- check, if the installed virtual actually comes from science overlay
- check that virtual and find out which real package it pulls
- attach one of the build logs of a failing build after the virtual is installed
(IIRC, there might  also be a matter of 'eselect blas', if it's still eselected, as it once was)

I checked in /var/db/pkg and it says 'repository == science'.

> - check that virtual and find out which real package it pulls

Here I'm at a loss. It seems, that the virtual does not pull any packages 'emerge -pve virtual/blas' wants to remerge just the virtual. (Whereas if I try 'emerge -pve virtual/cron' I get hundreds of dependencies.)

Is there any other way to check this?

> - attach one of the build logs of a failing build after the virtual is

Now this is a bit curious, I fiddled a bit with it and now I've got a file /usr/lib/libblas.so which is owned by sci-libs/lapack-reference-3.3.1-r1. So the build errors have vanished. But sci-libs/lapack-reference is not a valid dependency of virtual/blas, hence I'm a bit confused.

During the hunt of this error I tried to do a manual check with pkg-config, which returned
'Package blas was not found in the pkg-config search path.'

> (IIRC, there might  also be a matter of 'eselect blas', if it's still
> eselected, as it once was)

As this all seems a bit interrelated I will now report all the packages which have some influence on 'eselect (blas|cblas|lapack)' on my system. First the installed packages:
* sci-libs/lapack-reference-3.3.1-r1 from science overlay
* sci-libs/gsl-1.15-r1 from science overlay
* app-admin/eselect-1.2.16-r1 from science overlay
Now the packages which I do not have installed:
* app-admin/eselect-blas
* app-admin/eselect-cblas
* app-admin/eselect-lapack
And now the output of 'eselect (blas|cblas|lapack) list':

Available providers for blas:
  (none found)

Available providers for cblas:
  [1]   gsl *

Available providers for cblas:
  [1]   reference *

I hope this helps to clear this confusing bug.
Comment 4 Rafał Mużyło 2011-09-05 13:35:52 UTC
It seems there might be a problem in parsing the virtual.
More exactly, it seems that ">=sci-libs/blas-reference-3.3 !>sci-libs/blas-reference-20070225" is plain broken.

This is what I get while science overlay is installed:
emerge -1pv virtual/blas

Comment 5 Sébastien Fabbro (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-09-06 18:19:40 UTC
You have to mask >sci-libs/blas-reference-20 if you want to use the new blas stuff. We can not cross mask it in different overlays, and given the tree one is stable, we won't mask it until the new blas stuff is working.
Thanks.
Comment 6 Markus Walter 2014-02-07 19:11:07 UTC
Taking a look at my bug queue, I want to respond here with newer insights: This may be best addressed by better documentation. I wrote something at [1], which may be useful.
