Why suddenly gnupg needs sys-kernel/gentoo-sources ? I chrooted into my user mode linux image and got this: n22 ~ # emerge --newuse --update --ask --verbose --deep --tree world These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order: Calculating world dependencies ...done! [nomerge ] app-crypt/gnupg-1.4.2-r3 -X +bzip2 -caps -curl -ecc -idea -ldap +nls +readline (-selinux) -smartcard -static -usb +zlib [ebuild N ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1 -build -doc -symlink (-ultra1) 39,086 kB Total size of downloads: 39,086 kB Do you want me to merge these packages? [Yes/No] No Quitting. I use a different kernel to run this image so I cannot see the advantage.
It inherits linux-info.eclass, which DEPENDs on virtual/linux-sources. So, which kernel are you using that doesn't provide this virtual?
This is my host kernel : tfoerste@n22 ~ $ uname -a Linux n22 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 #2 Sat Feb 4 19:44:25 CET 2006 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1700MHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux I got the same behaviour either after chroot into the uml image or after booting the UML linux and running the emerge command inside UML (but that is slower, that's why I update the UML image under the chroot environment) ok, here is the UML kernel, if it's needed: tfoerste@n22 ~ $ /usr/local/bin/linux-2.6.15-usermode --version 2.6.15-usermode-bs1
Erm, if you are using homebrew kernel installed outside of portage, you need to take care of this yourself. Something like: mkdir /etc/portage/profile echo "sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.99" >> /etc/portage/profile/package.provided echo "virtual/alsa sys-kernel/vanilla-sources" >> /etc/portage/profile/virtuals echo "virtual/linux-sources sys-kernel/vanilla-sources" >> /etc/portage/profile/virtuals should work. No bug here, closing.
I _emerged_ the gentoo kernel, believe me : tfoerste@n22 ~/workspace/acpi $ equery --nocolor list -i gentoo-sources [ Searching for package 'gentoo-sources' in all categories among: ] * installed packages [I--] [ ] sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r1 (2.6.15-r1) tfoerste@n22 ~/workspace/acpi $
reopened, here are the steps on my machine to reproduce it: n22 ~ # modprobe loop; sleep 1; mount -o loop /opt/uml/root_fs /mnt/loop; mount -t proc none /mnt/loop/proc; chroot /mnt/loop/ /bin/bash n22 / # source /etc/profile n22 / # emerge --newuse --update --ask --verbose --deep --tree world These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order: Calculating world dependencies ...done!

What's above about? You did emerge the the kernel in your chroot? If not, I don't really see why are you wondering that it wants a kernel. Please, clarify what are you doing.
Sorry for not being clearly enough. I am wondering why _suddenly_ I have to emerge a linux kernel inside my chroot environment whereas all the time before I updated that UML image it wasn't neccessary to emerge any linux kernel. I cannot see the needs to emerge a kernel b/c the kernel isn't neither used when I chrooted into the image nor it is used during booting that UML image. I am wondering 1) whether the described problem is a (unwanted) side effect of a change at another place somewhere of the Gentoo package management or not 2) what changes outside of my configuration was made to make me emerging >= 250 MB (!) into my chroot image 3) which package within my chroot environment needs an emerged kernel (I do npot pan to configure or build this kernel) I would suspect that 1) is the root cause for my - little - problem. I did the steps you adviced in https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122250#c3 - thanks - but I would suspect that this is only a work on a symptom rather than a fix for a hidden bug. BTW I changed the summary to more reflect the underlying topic.
forget to reopen after changing summary
(In reply to comment #7) > 3) which package within my chroot environment needs an emerged kernel (I do > npot pan to configure or build this kernel) I've already pointed out in Comment #1 that gnupg inherits linux-info.eclass that depends on virtual/linux-sources, see the eclass. > - but I would suspect that this is only a work on a symptom rather than a fix > for a hidden bug. Some packages need kernel sources to compile. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 120233 ***
