Description Rene Androsch 2004-04-16 09:10:17 UTC

Today I noticed that my system always wants to install device-mapper, so I decided to do so, but that was a big mistake.

Now, when ever I want to emerge someting, device-mapper is tried first and stops with the error message. I can't emerge other software now, since device-mapper is always automatical included :(

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -pvD world
2. emerge -pvD mc (an update is available)
3. emerge -pvD cvs (an update is available)

Actual Results:  
>>> md5 src_uri ;-) device-mapper.1.00.08.tgz
 * 
 * Your currently linked kernel (/usr/src/linux) hasn't
 * been patched for device mapper support.
 * 

!!! ERROR: sys-libs/device-mapper-1.00.08 failed.
!!! Function pkg_setup, Line 23, Exitcode 0
!!! kernel not patched for device mapper support

This has nothing to do with device-mapper.  You have something that required dm on your system, but your kernel doesn't support it (vanilla 2.4.x doesn't have dm built in).  I'd suggest trying to find out what needs dm.
