Created attachment 307189 [details] sys-apps/net-tools-1.60_p20120127084908 build.log (or maybe virtual/os-headers?) The problem: Even though os-headers is in @system. The depgraph generated by portage pulls in net-tools BEFORE linux-headers when bootstrapping Gentoo Prefix. This is a formal request to add a {R,}DEPEND atom to net-tools so that the depgraph is correct. I have verified this is the problem by emerging linux-headers when net-tools fails with undefined references. depgraph: Calculating dependencies... done!

i changed openrc to a blocker http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-apps/net-tools/net-tools-1.60_p20120127084908.ebuild?r1=1.4&r2=1.5 otherwise, i don't think having packages depend on os-headers generally makes sense. the C library cannot work without those already installed.

Well, I have confirmed that net-tools WORKS once linux-headers is installed. How else can I convince you?
(In reply to comment #3) your request makes no sense. a blocker does not force openrc to be installed. the kernel headers are part of the toolchain. many headers in glibc cannot be used without kernel headers. pretty much all compiled code can't work without glibc. are you suggesting we add sys-libs/glibc to every package that compiles code ?

Good, thanks. > > the kernel headers are part of the toolchain. many headers in glibc cannot > be used without kernel headers. pretty much all compiled code can't work > without glibc. are you suggesting we add sys-libs/glibc to every package > that compiles code ? No, I'm not suggesting that. With Gentoo Prefix, @system pulls in virtual/os-headers AFTER net-tools so net-tools will fail to build. I'm simply looking for a fix for this issue.
With that said, we could just kludge up the installation instructions as well. That is, if a prefix dep is ill-advised.
(In reply to comment #5) i think it's sane to special case the toolchain as @system expects the toolchain to be in place. otherwise, we have to add toolchain deps to all the pkgs in @system and i think that's a losing goal. maybe we need a @system-system set ;)
Ok. Creating a Prefix team action item here.

Sorry to hijack, darkside. Do you think 1) is intrinsic? openRC works towards an independent RC system. I suppose it not too complex to port openRC to work with normal user and call the openRC in prefix via host initrc system, e.g. /etc/rc.local? if 1) is resolved, 2) is just a consequence.
openrc has recently dropped the prefix bits: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/openrc.git;a=commit;h=3247184d Maybe a project for someone to jump on?
Bah, don't discuss it here. Talk about openrc progress on bug 196294
