I'm still investigating if the reason that I am having this problem is that I have installed version 3 and have been 'emerge -u'-ing ever since. I suppose that most people will already be using coreutils instead of fileutils etc. debianutils-1.16.7-r3 depends on coreutils. Please merge it. |
opengl-update uses readline, but coreutils is not in its list of dependencies. If I look at emerge -pe opengl-update I see that debianutils _is_ in the dependencies, which is why there hasn't been a problem before. But now that readline has been removed from debianutils and is only found in coreutils, the dependencies need to change. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure coreutils isn't installed 2. Make sure debianutils is at version 1.16.7-r3 or higher 3. emerge opengl-update 4. run opengl-update nvidia for example Actual Results: * Switching to nvidia OpenGL interface... /usr/sbin/opengl-update: line 1: readlink: command not found /usr/sbin/opengl-update: line 1: readlink: command not found /usr/sbin/opengl-update: line 1: readlink: command not found [ ok ] Expected Results: obvious Workaround: emerge coreutils manually before using opengl-update
