Bug 50069 – gnuplot-4.0 requires profile masked readline

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Matt Taylor 2004-05-04 22:59:17 UTC]

# emerge -pu world

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

Calculating world dependencies |
!!! all ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-libs/readline-4.2" have been masked.
!!! possible candidates are:
- sys-libs/readline-4.2a-r1 (masked by: profile)
- sys-libs/readline-4.3-r3 (masked by: profile)
- sys-libs/readline-4.3-r4 (masked by: profile)
- sys-libs/readline-4.2a-r2 (masked by: profile)
- sys-libs/readline-4.3-r5 (masked by: profile)
!!!    (dependency required by "media-gfx/gnuplot-4.0" [ebuild])

!!! Problem with ebuild media-gfx/gnuplot-4.0
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.

!!! Depgraph creation failed.

Either you have local masking, you got a bad mirror or you need to resync.  This
isn't an issue with the current portage tree.  Reopen if you look into these
things and still have problem.

[Comment 2 Matt Taylor 2004-05-07 11:14:24 UTC]

I've seen this all week and I sync every day.  I just synced with rsync22.us.gentoo.org and I still get this.  I have no local masking setup.  If I look in /usr/portage/profiles/default-1.0/packages I see this:

*<sys-libs/readline-4.2 

[Comment 3 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2004-05-17 12:30:53 UTC]

The problem is that you're using an unsupported profile.  We no longer support 1.0 profiles.  You need to switch to at least 2004.0, preferably 2004.1

[Comment 4 Matt Taylor 2004-05-17 14:09:55 UTC]

I know its a old profile, but I haven't had time to upgrade it since I'll have to stop using it for however long it takes to recompile every single package.  And since I've been using this install for >2 years, there are a lot of packages.  Also, the profile isn't listed as deprecated in portage.

I'm not asking you to fix gnuplot so it works, just make it so I can update world without having it die every time on gnuplot, and to fix it for everyone else who is still running default-1.0.  You could just add <gnuplot-4.0 to default-1.0/packages like all the other packages that are locked to older versions in there because of gcc-3 requirements.

[Comment 5 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2004-05-18 09:28:56 UTC]

Well, that doesn't sound unreasonable since it isn't hard to do.  I'll handle this when I have a second.

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2004-05-18 15:55:31 UTC]

the 1.0 profile is supported (gcc-2.x) ... but that is the only 'old' profile that is; the 1.3 (gcc-3.1) crap is unsupported

[Comment 7 SpanKY 2004-10-05 06:14:33 UTC]

can you please remove that mask and try upgrading your readline and see if the backwards-compat code works ?

if so, i'll remove it from the mask

[Comment 8 Matt Taylor 2004-10-05 16:39:38 UTC]

readline-5.0-r1 and gnuplot-4.0-r1 successfuly compiled, and gnuplot runs.

[Comment 9 SpanKY 2004-10-05 16:44:57 UTC]

removed mask
