Bug 45565 – Existing packages not considered to satisfy dependencies

• Product: Portage Development
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description M. Creidieki Crouch 2004-03-23 18:09:48 UTC]

I am currently running the latest version of xmms, which I installed from ~x86. When I went back to my normal ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=x86, I became unable to use "emerge -UD world". It does not consider the installed version of automake (automake-1.8.2) as being able to satify the depencies of my installed version of xmms (xmms-1.2.10-r1).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install xmms-1.2.10 from ~x86.
2. Type "emerge -UaD world"
Actual Results:  
" emerge -UaD world
>>> --upgradeonly implies --update... adding --update to options.
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
 
Calculating world dependencies |
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-devel/automake-1.7.8" have been masked.
!!! possible candidates are:
- sys-devel/automake-1.8.2 (masked by: ~keyword)
- sys-devel/automake-1.7.8 (masked by: ~keyword)
!!!    (dependency required by "media-sound/xmms-1.2.10-r1" [ebuild])
 
!!! Problem with ebuild media-sound/xmms-1.2.10-r1
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.
 
!!! Depgraph creation failed.
"


Expected Results:  
Emerge should have realized that the installed version of automake already
satisfies the ">=sys-devel/automake-1.7.8" dependency, and that it was okay to
continue updating my other packages. I've become completely unable to use emerge
-D world.

" emerge -p automake
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
 
Calculating dependencies ...done!

unmask those packages in /etc/portage/packages.keywords

[Comment 2 M. Creidieki Crouch 2004-03-25 18:40:02 UTC]

I hadn't realized that there was a file for unmasking specific packages. That would invalidate the bug, as I have it written.

The file /etc/portage/packages.keywords  doesn't actually exist on my system, though, nor do any other files named "packages.keywords". The  /etc/portage  directory is empty. Do you know if it's kept somewhere else in recent versions of portage?

"emerge -p portage" tells me
"
[ebuild   R   ] sys-apps/portage-2.0.50-r1
"

Thanks.

/etc/portage doesnt exist because you didnt make it

`man 5 portage`
