Bug 73197 – Cannot emerge Windowmaker when gnustep USE flag is in use

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Wayne 2004-12-03 00:26:40 UTC]

I'm trying to reemerge Windowmaker hoping that the patch from bug 69467 has been implemented. This time I've includeded the gnustep USE flag and it won't emerge.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge windowmaker
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
[wayne@Wuler] sudo emerge windowmaker
Calculating dependencies \
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "virtual/gnustep-back".


Expected Results:  
emerged

With the output of `emerge info`, I cannot really help you much.

The actual error output of it failing would help as well.

I just noticed that you posted this:
[wayne@Wuler] sudo emerge windowmaker
Calculating dependencies \
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "virtual/gnustep-back".

The output of `emerge info` would really help, because that virtual should be in most profiles.

What platform are you on?

Hi, I'm on AMD64, My emerge info output is attached...

[Comment 5 Armando Di Cianno (RETIRED) 2004-12-04 09:52:29 UTC]

I would upgrade your profile from default-amd64-2004.2

e.g.
rm /etc/make.profile
ln -s /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/<choose the one you want> /etc/make.profile

I'm not supporting the pre-cascading profiles.  Your version of portage supports cascading, so I would encourage your to upgrade to some 2004.3 release for amd64.  I would give you a better specific suggestion as to which exactly to use, but I do not use amd64.

Let me know if it works for you.

[Comment 6 Armando Di Cianno (RETIRED) 2004-12-05 14:14:06 UTC]

User is not using a supported profile.

Passing this on to amd64 -- they have a better idea if the user should be "required" to upgrade, or if they want to add the necessary virtuals to that profile.

I suggest this bug is just marked as "INVALID" however, unless amd64 really wants to support somwhat mostly ~ARCH GNUstep ebuilds in what's likely a stable profile.

This bug is not amd64 specific, I'm seeing the same with x86. Here's the error:


burcin@turing burcin $ emerge -p windowmaker

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

Calculating dependencies -
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "gnustep-base/gnustep-env" have been masked.

!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- gnustep-base/gnustep-env-0.1.4 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)
- gnustep-base/gnustep-env-0.1.5 (masked by: ~x86 keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or 
section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook.
!!!    (dependency required by "x11-wm/windowmaker-0.91.0-r1" [ebuild])

echo "x11-wm/windowmaker ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge x11-wm/windowmaker

or

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge x11-wm/windowmaker
