Bug 57894 – 'Emerge -uDpv world' wants to pull in alsa and old sources...

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Justin Robinson 2004-07-21 13:28:32 UTC]

When emerging -uDpv world, it wants to pull in gentoo-sources (2.4) and ALSA.
I have a manually installed kernal from kernel.org (2.6.7) (vanilla i suppose)

trying to figure out which app is the culprit 

emerge -uDpv gaim:
Calculating dependencies ...done!

[ebuild     U ] x11-plugins/gaim-encryption-2.28 [2.27] -debug  463 kB

doesnt make sense as gaim doesnt depend on alsa things and further confused by 

emerge -uDpv mplayer:

which does depend on gaim. USE='-alsa' stops this dependency, however i wouldnt want to compile those two without alsa...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -uDpv world

Actual Results:  
Tried to emerge gentoo-sources-2.4.26-r6, media-sound/alsa-headers-1.0.5a, and 
media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.5a when I use 2.6.7 from kernel.org with Alsa built 
into the kernel

Expected Results:  
Not be dependent/emerge the above listed

Did you say you had installed a kernel from kernel.org, and not emerging the sources from portage? Then there won't be a virtual/alsa line in /var/cache/edb/virtuals, so portage satisfies it by emerging alsa-drivers, which require some kernel source.

Try injecting development-sources (or emerging a source ebuild) and add a "virtual/alsa sys-kernel/development-sources" line to your virtuals file (if it isn't added by the inject).

And remember to attach text files as text/plain so we can look at them without
having to download them.

[Comment 5 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2004-07-21 18:20:50 UTC]

This isn't really a bug since it's self-caused (due to not using emerge to install the kernel) so I'll mark it INVALID.  The comments already should have gotten
you over the issue.  Feel free to followup in the forums.
