Description Quequero 2004-12-07 12:32:12 UTC

Hi all,
there seems to be a problem with alsa dependencies, today I did an emerge -Dupt world and I got:

[nomerge      ] media-sound/alsa-utils-1.0.7  
[nomerge      ]  media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.7  
[ebuild  N    ]   media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.7-r3  
[ebuild  N    ]    sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.28-r2  

I'm using kernel 2.6 so I don't need alsa-driver, but portage wants to install 2.4.28 kernel and then alsa-driver... So I think that some dependencies are wrong.

Thanx a lot :)

ps
alsa-utils seems to have the file-digest missing ;p

sounds like your virtuals are out of whack...  Try re-emerging your 2.6 kernel or just add them to /etc/portage/virtuals

It looks like you don't have virtual/alsa or virtual/linux-sources installed.

PS.  It's recomended to use alsa-driver rather than the in-kernel alsa.

Thanx for help, I added development-sources to virtuals, I also disabled kernel built-in alsa drivers, but now alsa-driver is giving me:

alsa-driver-1.0.7/kbuild/../drivers/serialmidi.c:327: error: too many arguments to function

And compilation fails, should I have to report this as a bug?
Thanx a lot.
