Since the 2.5 Kernel series ALSA is part of the vanilla kernel (from kernel.org) so there's no need to install alsa-drivers anymore. You have to build the needed drivers as kernel modules. This bug can be marked invalid. right .. there is no need to install alsa-drivers, but, i guess kde-3.3.1 or something pulls alsa-driver as a dependency, and there is no way to stop it. It fails the emerge -uvDa world, hence the bug is not invalid. Yeah, kde-base/arts depends on virtual/alsa and alsa-driver provides that. But also the kernel-sources (2.6.x) provide virtual/alsa so there _should_ be no problem removing it. But if portage wont let you, please provide the command you used to emerge, a more verbose error message and emerge info output. I gave the following command 1. emerge -uva world The output was Calculating world dependencies ...done!

[Yes/No] So, you see, the alsa-driver is at the top. Then when it starts emerging this list, it fails at alsa-drivers. Yesterday I got the warning from emerge that my profile is obsolet and I should remove /etc/make.profile. Then I should make a link from /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2004.0 to /etc/make.profile I did that. Could it be the reason? Yeah, this could be the reason. Try to set the link to the 2004.3 profile and emerge again. Is alsa-driver still in the list of the packages to merge? If so, can you pleas provide an output of "emerge -uvp --tree world" and look if alsa-driver is entered in /var/lib/portage? profile is set. # ll -d /etc/make.profile lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 Nov 4 16:43 /etc/make.profile -> /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2004.3 The output of the tree command is Calculating world dependencies .... ...done!

What kernel-sources do you have installed? alsa-drivers is not in the world file, although it has media-sound/alsa-utils media-libs/alsa-oss media-sound/alsa-tools media-plugins/alsa-xmms media-libs/alsa-lib I am using gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.9-gentoo-r1 kernel. was it my mistake that /etc/make.profile should be a symbolic link to /usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-2004.2 ? anyways. the alsa-driver still tries to emerge. No, that wasn't a mistake. But you can safely use 2004.3 since it's the most recent version of Gentoo, but using 2004.2 should make no difference. I can't explain why alsa-driver is a dependency of arts, the ebuilds don't show any dependency other than to virtual/alsa. Did you remove the Kernel sources ebuild after building the kernel? Additionally can you please post an output of "emerge info"? do 'emerge unmerge alsa-driver' just to be safe... I didn't remove kernel source ebuild i.e. gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.9-r1's ebuild.
