Bug 291299 – x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-180.60 has nvidia-settings not owned by any package

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Michal Špondr 2009-10-31 14:02:13 UTC]

It seems that there is something wrong with nvidia-drivers and its file nvidia-settings, because I can't get revdep-rebuild to finish correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. revdep-rebuild

Actual Results:  
# revdep-rebuild 
 * Configuring search environment for revdep-rebuild
 * Environment mismatch from previous run, deleting temporary files...

 * Checking reverse dependencies
 * Packages containing binaries and libraries broken by a package update
 * will be emerged.

 * Collecting system binaries and libraries
 * Generated new 1_files.rr
 * Collecting complete LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 * Generated new 2_ldpath.rr
 * Checking dynamic linking consistency
[ 27% ]  *   broken /usr/bin/nvidia-settings (requires libpangox-1.0.so.0)
[ 100% ]                 
 * Generated new 3_broken.rr
 * Assigning files to packages
 *  !!! /usr/bin/nvidia-settings not owned by any package is broken !!!
 *   /usr/bin/nvidia-settings -> (none)
 * Generated new 4_raw.rr and 4_owners.rr
 * Found some broken files, but none of them were associated with known packages
 * Unable to proceed with automatic repairs.
 * The broken files are listed in 4_owners.rr

Expected Results:  
revdep-rebuild should finish correctly (e.g. rebuild some packages)

[Comment 1 Michal Špondr 2009-10-31 14:16:09 UTC]

If I try to install nvidia-drivers with gtk USE flag enabled, it installs media-video/nvidia-settings-180.60. But it fails during installing phase:

>>> Installing (2 of 2) media-video/nvidia-settings-180.60
 * This package will overwrite one or more files that may belong to other
 * packages (see list below). You can use a command such as `portageq
 * owners / <filename>` to identify the installed package that owns a
 * file. If portageq reports that only one package owns a file then do
 * NOT file a bug report. A bug report is only useful if it identifies at
 * least two or more packages that are known to install the same file(s).
 * If a collision occurs and you can not explain where the file came from
 * then you should simply ignore the collision since there is not enough
 * information to determine if a real problem exists. Please do NOT file
 * a bug report at http://bugs.gentoo.org unless you report exactly which
 * two packages install the same file(s). Once again, please do NOT file
 * a bug report unless you have completely understood the above message.
 * 
 * Detected file collision(s):
 * 
 * 	/usr/bin/nvidia-settings
 * 	/usr/share/applications/nvidia-settings.desktop
 * 
 * Searching all installed packages for file collisions...
 * 
 * Press Ctrl-C to Stop
 * 
 * None of the installed packages claim the file(s).
 * 
 * Package 'media-video/nvidia-settings-180.60' merged despite file
 * collisions. If necessary, refer to your elog messages for the whole
 * content of the above message.

However another revdep-rebuild can assign file /usr/bin/nvidia-settings to a newly added package and finish correctly.

But I think it should be fixed somehow, if the gtk USE flag is a mandatory.

[Comment 2 Sebastian Luther (few) 2009-10-31 16:12:58 UTC]

As far as I know nvidia-settings was never part of x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers. As this is fixed by installing media-video/nvidia-settings, I'll close it as invalid.
