Bug 49623 – emerge -uD world thinks that x11-base/xfree is a dependency of wxGTK when it isn't.

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Wolf 2004-05-01 10:11:35 UTC]

I have xorg-x11 installed. When I do emerge -pvuD world I get this meesage
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "x11-base/xfree" have been masked.
!!! possible candidates are:
- x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r5 (masked by: package.mask)
- x11-base/xfree-4.3.99.902-r2 (masked by: package.mask, ~keyword)
- x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r6 (masked by: package.mask, ~keyword)
!!!    (dependency required by "x11-libs/wxGTK-2.4.2" [ebuild])
 
!!! Problem with ebuild net-p2p/amule-2.0.0_rc3
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.

wxGTK dose not depend on x11-base/xfree, it depends on virtual/x11. I checked it.
amule depends on wxGTK, not on any X11 system.

in my /var/cache/virtual I put in this line "virtual/x11 x11-base/xorg". The same line I put in the foloowing files:
/usr/portage/profiles/base/virtuals
/usr/portage/profiles/build/virtuals
/usr/portage/profiles/default-1.0/virtuals
/usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-2004.0/virtuals
/usr/portage/profiles/selinux/2004.1/x86/virtuals
/usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-1.4/virtuals

I even injected xfree, I still get this error.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge sync
2.have wxGTK in you world or in a dependency of a package
3.emerge -pvuD world

Actual Results:  
This meesege:

Expected Results:  
emerge should have relised that I have xorg-x11 instaled and gone on with the
Depgraph creation.

[Comment 1 Marcin Kryczek (RETIRED) 2004-05-01 15:05:26 UTC]

have you tried to recompile wxGTK against xorg-x11?

[Comment 2 Wolf 2004-05-02 02:43:53 UTC]

Yes. I have wxGTK compiled uginst xorg-x11 (I compiled it after I compiled xorg-x11, and have compiled it sevral times).

I whent us much us to unmerge aMule and wxGTK, I still get this messege:
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy "x11-base/xfree" have been masked.
!!! possible candidates are:
- x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r5 (masked by: package.mask)
- x11-base/xfree-4.3.99.902-r2 (masked by: package.mask, ~keyword)
- x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r6 (masked by: package.mask, ~keyword)
!!!    (dependency required by "dev-ml/lablgl-0.99-r1" [ebuild])
 
!!! Problem with ebuild net-p2p/mldonkey-2.5.18
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.
 
!!! Depgraph creation failed.

Note: lablgl-0.99-r1.ebuild depends on virtual/x11 NOT on x11-base/xfree.

I've got the same symptoms with other packages having dependancies changes. I noticed packages intalled on the system keep the dependances ans use flags at the time they where emerged.

I switched from xfree to xorg-x11 too and I re-emerged many packages until having "emerge -bpuvD world" with no errors.

Did you try "qpkg -I -q xfree" (should be empty)? I always build binary package. I rebuild every packages in /usr/portage/packages/All returned by command "grep xfree *.tbz2" (should be empty).

Hope this helps.

[Comment 4 Jonathan Rogers 2004-05-26 23:46:13 UTC]

I've been having exactly the same problem. That is, when I try to emerge world, portage tries to install xfree rather than using xorg-x11, though the latter is in the virtuals file. I believe I have just discovered my problem: the only xorg-x11 ebuild has a keyword of ~x86, but my normal keyword is x86. I added a line to /etc/portage/package.keywords to specify that xorg-x11 should always use ~x86 and it seems to have solved the problem.

[Comment 5 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2004-06-13 18:20:33 UTC]

If you're unable to resolve this by remerging specific packages that come up, please file a bug on each package. Also keep in mind comment #4, for those of you running stable systems.
