Bug 30102 – linux-headers is being pulled in by emerge -pUv world

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Paul Thompson 2003-10-01 12:24:17 UTC]

In 'emerge -pUv world' listing:
[ebuild     U ] sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.19-r1 [2.4.20] 

There is no other dependancy that requires this in the upgrade list.
Plus, its not an upgrade. And its not in my world file. This shouldnt
change unless I upgrade glibc. Could this be related to bug
30041 ?

Thanks;
Paul

Problem is that linux-headers-2.4.20 is no longer in the tree and the next
higher version is marked -*. The U instead of UD is probably related to the
SLOT variables.
BTW, where did you get that ebuild, it was removed 5 months ago.

crud, I seem to have generated a new bug by accident, reloading the
original page I submited bug 30047 on:( post data...

I had just wanted to note, re: 30047 that /usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-1.4/packages
does
not contain a reference to linux-headers, but to
virtual/os-headers, and no version restriction.
working around this is trivial; Im just glad I
caught it before it changed my headers.

re: marius,
presumably, over 5 months ago, I upgraded my system
headers to the latest 2.4 kernel at the time, and
rebuilt glibc. (probably about the time I upgraded
to 1.4 profile and gcc 3.2)

sorry for this mess. Where is the info on what 
ebuilds have PROVIDEd stored?

Those information are stored in 
/var/db/pkg/sys-kernel/linux-headers-2.4.20/PROVIDE
