Description Graeme Humphries 2004-02-11 16:40:35 UTC

My system now refuses to emerge ati-drivers, with the following message:

emerge -p ati-drivers
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
 
Calculating dependencies \
emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy ">=virtual/linux-sources-2.4".
 
!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.


I'm running a 2.6 kernel, so I'm not sure why I'd need the 2.4 linux sources.

Check /var/cache/edb/virtuals, the virtual/linux-sources line. Make sure no *-sources that are no longer installed are in that line.

Comment 2 Graeme Humphries 2004-02-11 21:52:50 UTC

So, are you saying I should take out all entries from that line that were once on my system, but aren't now?

It reads:
virtual/linux-sources sys-kernel/development-sources sys-kernel/openmosix-sources sys-kernel/mm-sources sys-kernel/gentoo-sources sys-kernel/gaming-sources sys-kernel/gs-sources sys-kernel/pfeifer-sources

But the only packages I still have installed are from development-sources.

You should only have sources currently installed on that line, in addition to "virtual/linux-sources"

Portage bug, don't remember the #

Comment 4 Graeme Humphries 2004-02-13 08:50:29 UTC

Alright, well that fixes my problem, so I guess this is a duplicate of whatever that bug is. If someone can track down the number, I'll close this one. ;)

This is probably a dup of the bug about not removing linux-sources virtuals, could someone who remembers mark it so please?

I have development-sources-2.6.5 installed, but the ati-drivers ">=virtual-sources-2.4" tries to pull in aa-sources-2.4.23-...

I'd love to read the Portage bug regarding this because ISTM that having devel-source-2.6.5 installed should satisfy that dependancy, no?

Comment 7 Graeme Humphries 2004-04-26 08:06:18 UTC

Well, no-one's dug up whatever this was a dup of, so I'm just closing it.
