I tried to emerge -auDv world and I get a complaint that it can't find a suitable version of linux26-headers. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge sync; fixpackages; etc-update; (first time only: ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/linux/x86/2005.0 /etc/make.profile) 2.emerge -auDv world 3.aargh! Actual Results: Code: buggles ali # emerge -auDv world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies / emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "sys-kernel/linux26-headers". !!! Problem with ebuild app-office/koffice-1.3.5-r2 !!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. !!! Depgraph creation failed. Don't think I can emerge anything... Expected Results: Let me emerge -auDv world!

!!! Problem with ebuild app-office/koffice-1.3.5-r2 !!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. This is a problem with koffice's ebuild.
the ebuild is fine. an emerge -C linux26-headers && emerge linux-headers should solve the problem.
has nothing to do with toolchain
In reply to #2 above, I can't remove linux26-headers: emerge -C linux26-headers --- Couldn't find linux26-headers to unmerge. >>> unmerge: No packages selected for removal. #################### In addition, I've also rebuilt my toolchain (emerge -e system) with no effect. Any additional pointers?
You have something that is looking specifically for linux26-headers... I would suspect it is something local. Have you verified that koffice is not the culprit? You can't remove linux26-headers ebcause it doesn't exist anymore. You *can* remove linux-headers and reinstall it, though. emerge -C linux-headers && emerge linux-headers
linux-headers was re-emerged when I did emerge -e system I believe but for the sake of thoroughness I've 'emerge -C linux-headers && emerge linux-headers'ed. I've also masked all versions of koffice and now get emerge -auDv world These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating world dependencies \ emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "sys-kernel/linux26-headers". !!! Problem with ebuild gnome-base/eel-2.10.0 !!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. !!! Depgraph creation failed. so it obviously isn't a problem with particular ebuilds and rather a problem with something infinitely more complex. Where is portage obtaining the required libraries information from? Surely it's from whatever is linked to /etc/make.profile? Is it worth injecting linux26-headers?
You cannot inject a non-existent package. Do you have a /etc/portage/virtuals file? Would you have anything locally that is causing virtual/linux-headers to mean linux26-headers? Do you have any packages in /usr/portage/packages that could possibly be causing this trouble?
I would check your world file, too... just to make sure that there isn't another linux26-headers hiding out in there somewhere. You could also try "emerge -vuDt world" and see what it says for a package requiring linux26-headers, but I'm not sure it would work as expected.
----You cannot inject a non-existent package I can't inject anything, it moans and requires that I use /etc/portage/profile/package.provided. I did and it (temporarily) solves the problem - hurrah! This is a bodge job I know. ---Do you have a /etc/portage/virtuals file? No ---Would you have anything locally that is causing virtual/linux-headers to mean linux26-headers? Ummm...? Can you indicate what I'm looking for because I'm really not all that straight on the portage internals! ---Do you have any packages in /usr/portage/packages that could possibly be causing this trouble? Not anymore thanks to rm -Rf && fixpackages :) and, from the next post: ---I would check your world file, too... just to make sure that there isn't another linux26-headers hiding out in there somewhere. grepped and clean - only linux-headers present ---You could also try "emerge -vuDt world" and see what it says for a package requiring linux26-headers, but I'm not sure it would work as expected. No joy, fails as above with depend problem. Subject to using the package.provided hack above and injecting (or providing or whatever) a package that doesn't exist (which works perfectly) still no joy.
Is it possible for the original author to change the severity for this bug to "major"? Reason: An emerge sync "forced" me to upgrade my profile to 2005.0. That's fine. Unfortuately the text scrolled up because of global updates ... For that reason the text told me: ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/2.4 make.profile Kernel 2.4 ?!? Ok - scrolling back to the top: If you wish to use 2.4 kernel - bla bla Is it possible to force a user interaction after showing the upgrade information for 2.6 and 2.4 (before doing global upgrades)? Everyone who has problems with linux-headers should check if ls -l /etc/make.profile is pointing to: /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0 not to: /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2005.0/2.4
You weren't forced to upgrade anything. The older profiles are deprecated, but have not been removed and nothing has been forced. This isn't really a "major" issue, as it isn't very widespread.

This has been long resolved...
