Description Luis Medinas 2012-02-27 20:00:11 UTC
I have kmod-5 and udev 181

when i tried to upgrade my system i got:

  (sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.16-r1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
    >=sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.8 required by (sys-kernel/dracut-014-r2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)
    >=sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.2 required by (virtual/modutils-0::gentoo, installed)

So i think first the conditional on module-init-tools or kmod is wrong since they both can be covered by the virtual.

Also why it needs to be kmod > 5 if the latest one in the tree is 5. Shouldn't it be >= 5 ?

 

Reproducible: Always

It is >kmod-5 because with next release or 9999 (which is also in portage tree) should work fine.
Comment 2 Amadeusz Żołnowski (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-02-28 14:55:27 UTC
And dependency cannot be covered by virtual until it get some version on which I can rely. Dracut requires at least sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.8 while sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.5 is still in portage tree and virtual/modutils requires >=sys-apps/module-init-tools-3.2 or any version of kmod and any version of modutils for kernel 2.4.

To solve the block, you could either upgrade kmod to 9999 or go back to module-init-tools. Dracut is not supposed to work with kmod-5.
