Bug 47084 – emerge -UDp world, masked dependency problem

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Evert 2004-04-07 06:03:36 UTC]

Step 1 (see below) updates
- zlib from 1.1.4-r2 to 1.2.1-r2
- xmule from 1.6.0a-r1 to 1.8.0

After that, emerge -uDp world (just like -up and -p) shows:
[ebuild     UD] sys-libs/zlib-1.1.4-r2 [1.2.1-r2]
[ebuild     UD] net-p2p/xmule-1.6.0a-r1 [1.8.0]

But, emerge -UDp world seems to have a masked dependency problem!


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge xmule
2. emerge -UDp world

Actual Results:  
# emerge -UDp world
>>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating world dependencies \
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1" have been masked.
!!! possible candidates are:
- sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1-r1 (masked by: ~keyword)
- sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1-r2 (masked by: ~keyword)
- sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1 (masked by: ~keyword)
!!!    (dependency required by "net-p2p/xmule-1.8.0" [ebuild])
 
!!! Problem with ebuild net-p2p/xmule-1.8.0
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.

!!! Depgraph creation failed.


Expected Results:  
Same output as emerge -U world now gives:
>>> No outdated packages were found on your system.

don't mix up your system and try to go stable further.
man portage

see
      /etc/portage/
              bashrc
              package.mask
              package.unmask
              package.keywords
              package.use
              mirrors
              categories
              use.mask

OK, created /etc/portage/package.keywords and this seems to do the trick:

# cat /etc/portage/package.keywords
net-p2p/xmule ~x86
=sys-libs/zlib-1.2.1-r2 ~x86
