after an install (no additional packages selected) of the livecd 2008.0 beta2 for amd64: try to rebuild everything. no changes to /etc/make.conf Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install from scratch 2. emerge -e world 3. Actual Results: These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating system dependencies !!! Multiple versions within a single package slot have been !!! pulled into the dependency graph: sys-libs/com_err:0 ('ebuild', '/', 'sys-libs/com_err-1.40.4', 'merge') pulled in by ('ebuild', '/', 'sys-libs/ss-1.40.4', 'merge') ('ebuild', '/', 'sys-libs/com_err-1.40.6', 'merge') pulled in by ('ebuild', '/', 'app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.6.3-r1', 'merge') It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can not be installed simultaneously. For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. !!! Depgraph creation failed. Expected Results: emrge -e world should work "out of the box"
Welcome to using portage. This is "normal". Also, this has nothing to do with the installer.
This is surely not "normal", when we speak about stable keyworded stuff as in this case, Andrew. Unless you define working with cvs "normal" I mean. ;) August: Your problem is either that the master mirror picked up the stable keyworded sys-libs/com_err-1.40.8, but not the corresponding sys-libs/ss version and in this case syncing again in an hour or so should do it or you masked it locally once and have to revert that.
i didn't do any "emerge sync": just install from from the cd, reboot, emerge -e world -- fail ;-(( i hoped that a clean install is consistent in itself ...
hm
I don't think so, but just in case - we don't have such issue on the release media, do we!?
The 2008.0 Beta 2 CD was not generated with a clean package cache, as such, it pulls in binaries, and can potentially do this. The final will be rebuilt with a clean cache.
There is a 2008.0-r1 livecd out that fixes this issue.
