Description hfk22 2018-08-24 15:37:02 UTC
It appears as though cargo-0.29.0 fails to emerge.  This occurs when attempting to emerge dev-lang/rust-1.28.0-r1.  Specifically, I get

error: aborting due to 12 previous errors

error: Could not compile `cargo`.

As a note, it looks like dev-util/cargo-0.29.0 pulled in dev-lang/rust-bin-1.25.0.  At the moment, I have dev-lang/rust-1.25.0 and dev-lang/rust-bin-1.25.0 on my system and both fail to compile dev-util/cargo-0.29.0.  It looks like the dependencies are pulling in too old a version of rust or rust-bin to compile cargo, but I don't know for sure.

Comment 1 Johan 2018-08-27 11:22:33 UTC
I have the same problem, but I have two machines with very similar setup, and this failure to emerge only appears on one of them. But I do not know where to begin to look for relevant differences.

If someone wants to suggest logs or anything in trying to get to the bottom of this, I'm happy to help.
Comment 2 Dirkjan Ochtman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2018-08-27 13:41:12 UTC
This indeed seems to be because the rust compiler is too old for compiling the cargo version. IIRC cargo was a rustc PDEPEND exactly to make sure it gets compiled with the new rustc version, not the old one. Can you show me the currently active version of rustc (rustc --version) as well as the build order for rust and cargo from emerge -p or similar?
Comment 3 Johan 2018-08-27 16:11:32 UTC
Yeah, rustc had different versions on my two machines, unmasking 1.28.0 and upgrading:


# emerge -avuDNt @world

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

fixed it for me.

$ rustc --version

$ emerge -p -t rust

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

$ eselect rust list
Available Rust versions:
  [1]   rust-1.25.0
  [2]   rust-bin-1.25.0 *

Now, originally, I did not have rust-bin.  Going back through my logs, I see:

*** emerge --ask --update rust
>>> emerge (1 of 3) dev-lang/rust-bin-1.25.0 to /
>>> emerge (2 of 3) dev-util/cargo-0.29.0 to /

This last one failed.  The third package was rust-1.28.0-r1.  Mostly, I'm including this to note that rust-bin was pulled in by the original update of rust in case it matters.
Comment 5 hfk22 2018-09-02 04:09:34 UTC
I don't think that this has been fixed, but the following worked for me:

emerge --ask --update =rust-1.27.1-r2
eselect rust set (number for 1.27.1)
emerge --ask --update rust

Basically, I upgraded to rust-1.27.1-r2, which allowed cargo-0.29.0 to compile properly.  Then, I could compile rust-1.28.0.
Comment 6 Manfred Knick 2018-09-09 13:40:54 UTC
(In reply to hfk22 from comment #5)

Because of dev-util/cargo-0.29.0:0 having been stabilized,
I had to unmask and explicitly emerge
  =dev-util/cargo-0.28.0
  =rust-1.27.1-r2
  =rust-bin-1.27.1-r1
  =virtual/rust-1.27.1:0
first.

Afterwards,
   dev-lang/rust-1.28.0-r1
   virtual/rust-1.28.0
   dev-util/cargo-0.29.0
were pulled;
manually I emerged
   dev-lang/rust-bin-1.28.0-r1
to bring down to a round figure.

Finally, only enabling
 =virtual/rust-1.28.0:0   ~amd64
was needed as a 'left-over'
which should have been stabilized together with it's friends.

HTH
Thanks!

How can this solve the issue, if an update of rust requires an update of cargo first?

:: Step By Step !

Because a quick look into the ebuilds reveals that the corresponding

   CARGO_DEPEND_VERSION="0.$(($(get_version_component_range 2) + 1)).0"

In order to change the order, I think that you should also unmask virtual/cargo-1.27.* and upgrate it too. That worked for me in order to change the merge order.

However, changing the merge order didn't solve the issue for me. With the following versions:

dev-lang/rust-1.28.0-r1 (compiled)
virtual/rust-1.28.0 (compiled)
dev-util/cargo-0.29.0 (failed)

Those are the errors that I got:

Ok, my bad. Upgrading rust before cargo SOLVED the problem in my case, but I had to manually change the rust with eselect. So, in my case the steps to solve the problems would be:

  1.- Be sure that virtual/rust will also be updated (my test was done using the same version that I used on dev-lang/rust).
  2.- Upgrade only dev-lang/rust and virtual/rust.
  3.- Change the rust version with eselect and check that the new version is active.
  4.- Upgrade dev-util/cargo.

Hope it helps.
Comment 11 Thomas 2018-09-09 15:29:40 UTC
I just found this (very current ;-) thread when the new firefox did not emerge.

Reason: virtual/rust-1.28 must be stabilized.
Afterwards, emerge suggests to install rust-1.28 first (no other rust preinstalled) and cargo next.
Comment 12 Thomas 2018-09-09 15:33:58 UTC
So the more specific bug report should be: make cargo depend on a reasonably recent virtual/rust.

If it does not build with an older rust, this is the only solution. I succeeded with https://bugs.gentoo.org/664484#c6:

# added --oneshot to keep it out of world file, where it wasn't recorded before
# also necessary to do the unmasking for ~amd64
#
$> emerge --ask --oneshot =dev-util/cargo-0.28.0 =rust-1.27.1-r2

# afterwards change rust environment, select version 1.27 in favor of 1.25
#
$> eselect rust list

$> eselect rust set <your-version>

# pull in most recent versions, including firefox 60
#
$> emerge --ask --update @world
Comment 14 Thomas 2018-09-09 17:00:56 UTC
In case there is no rust installed yet, you can simply add

=virtual/rust-1.28* ~amd64

to package.keywords.  Then emerge builds rust first (the proper version) and cargo next.  No step wise update of rust required.

Humble question: Cleanup needed?

Some packages depend upon { rust | rust-bin | cargo } directly,
instead of their corresponding virtual:
