Description Artur Brodowski 2002-06-03 03:37:04 UTC

for last two days i'm getting this error message (i also tried 'emerge --clean
rsync', but it didn't help) when trying to update

root@tool bzd # emerge rsync
...
root@tool bzd # emerge --update world --pretend

These are the packages that I would merge, in order.

!!! Error: couldn't find match for virtual/glu in x11-libs/qt-3.0.4.1-r1

well, masking this package in package.mask helps, but it's a pain to do it every
time after rsync'ing. maybe it should be masked permanently, or maybe
i need to get 'glu' on my box somehow...

hat's really odd, because the resolution for virtual/glu is x11-base/xfree.  What does 'emerge -p virtual/glu' say?

Comment 2 Ian Smith 2002-06-05 12:51:13 UTC

same problem here

sparky root # emerge -p virtual/glu

These are the packages that I would merge, in order.

Comment 3 Artur Brodowski 2002-06-08 10:51:18 UTC

well, i've managed to solve the problem, but not in the way i'm satisfied with.
i remerged xfree, so virtuals/glu is now seen by portage. i guess it was a
remainder of some obsolete portage issues (my gentoo is 'constantly upgraded'
1.0_rc6). everything works fine now, but i'd be aware of such problems in the
future.
