Comment 1 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2013-07-25 09:48:20 UTC
not a bug, you need systemd for GNOME since 3.8 so the blockers are correct,

# emerge -C udev
# emerge systemd

or migrate away from GNOME

I removed udev, but 'emerge systemd' fails with:

The switch from udev to systemd seems to be an essential change in the system.
 So a migration guide would be really nice.
Comment 3 Juergen Rose 2013-07-25 16:49:17 UTC
BTW., I still have udev and gudev USE flags in /etc/make.conf. Should I remove this use flags?
Comment 4 Juergen Rose 2013-07-25 17:28:39 UTC
And what about hwdb and consolekit USE flag? I tried to remove them from /etc/make.conf, but I could also not emerge systemd in these cases.
Comment 5 Franz Trischberger 2013-07-26 08:03:16 UTC
You need to add "virtual/udev" to your package.accept_keywords. Also USE-Flags from virtual/udev and systemd must match.

(In reply to Franz Fellner from comment #5)

How should I realize that the USE flags for virtual/udev and sys-apps/systemd match? I set the same USE flags for virtual/udev and sys-apps/systemd in /etc/portage/packages.use, but several flags seems to irrelevant for  virtual/udev.

sys-apps/systemd acl doc filecaps firmware-loader gudev hwdb http introspection kmod pam policykit python static-libs tcpd xattr
root@impala:/root(80)# grep virtual/udev /etc/portage/package.use
>=virtual/udev-196 acl doc filecaps firmware-loader gudev hwdb http introspection kmod pam policykit python static-libs tcpd xattr

root@impala:/root(78)# emerge -pv virtual/udev systemd

Could anybody who succesfully emerged systemd post its USE flags in /etc/make.conf and the USE flags for virtual/udev and sys-apps/systemd in /etc/portage/packages.use?

Looks like you need to unmerge nss-myhostname

You need to unmerge libsoup-gnome

I deleted nss-myhostname and libsoup. Now 'emerge --ask systemd' fails with:

And also resync as some changes were committed to virtual few time ago

After erasing virtual/udev, consolekit, vala and openrc-settingsd I could emerge systemdh.

Looks like this is caused by you enabling static-libs for some packages but not for others. But the last portage errors looks incorrect to me as util-linux has not special dependency on udev[static-libs?] or similar

At least until gnome-3.8 with systemd came into portage tree I had no problem with the consistency of my packages. 'emerge -uvND world' works every day more or less without problems.
Comment 16 Juergen Rose 2013-07-27 15:01:45 UTC
I tried to do 'emerge @preserved-rebuild', it complains about 

[blocks B      ] sys-apps/systemd ("sys-apps/systemd" is blocking sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.6)

I erased the involved packages:

gobject-introspection nss-myhostname libsoup-gnome virtual/udev consolekit vala openrc-settingsd orca colord cogl atk gsettings-desktop-schemas libpeas webkit-gtk at-spi2-core gnome-desktop  gdm bluez networkmanager pambase accountsservice gnome-session sys-auth/polkit kdm nm-applet gnome-bluetooth

And I removed the following USE flags from /etc/mak
     bluetooth consolekit policykit
from /etc/make.conf.

But 'emerge @preserved-rebuild' still fails with:
...

[nomerge       ] gnome-base/gnome-control-center-3.8.4.1 [3.6.3-r1] USE="-modemmanager%" 
[nomerge       ]  sys-apps/accountsservice-0.6.34  USE="doc introspection vala -systemd" 
[ebuild  N     ]   sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.6  USE="acl doc pam policykit -debug (-selinux) {-test}" 


If I add systemd USE flag to accountsservice, 'emerge -pt @preserved-rebuild' says that gnome-session wants to install consolekit:

[nomerge       ] gnome-base/gnome-control-center-3.8.4.1 [3.6.3-r1] USE="-modemmanager%" 
[nomerge       ]  gnome-base/gnome-session-3.8.2.1-r1  USE="doc ipv6 -debug -gconf -systemd" 
[ebuild  N     ]   sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.6  USE="acl doc pam policykit -debug (-selinux) {-test}" 

If I then add systemd USE flag to gnome-session, polkit wants to install consolekit:

[nomerge       ] app-emulation/virt-manager-0.10.0 
[nomerge       ]  sys-auth/polkit-0.111  USE="examples gtk introspection kde nls -pam (-selinux) -systemd" 
[ebuild  N     ]   sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.6  USE="acl doc pam policykit -debug (-selinux) {-test}" 
[ebuild  N     ]   gnome-extra/polkit-gnome-0.105 
[ebuild  N     ]    sys-auth/polkit-0.111  USE="examples gtk introspection kde nls -pam (-selinux) -systemd" 

I then added systemd USE flag to polkit and 'emerge @preserved-rebuild' starts to work.

I think your /var/lib/portage/world is full of "cruft", I mean, you added there the package you emerged and all its dependencies. When it contains only the kind of things people usually run "emerge" on (instead of "emerge --oneshot), things like openrc-settingsd blockers are resolved automatically by emerge

That tells you that systemd and consolekit-0.4.6 are blocking each other (# 478258), use the version I pointed to you

Set "consolekit systemd" systemwide and all should be ok (with the referred consolekit version)

I do not know why you think that my /var/lib/portage/world is full of "cruft".
I have a relatively large number of packages installed on "impala". There are about 500 packages in /var/lib/portage/world and alltogether about 3000 packages are installed on "impala":

root@impala:/root(25)# wc /var/lib/portage/world
  524   524 10869 /var/lib/portage/world
root@impala:/root(26)# qlist -Iv | wc 
   3091    3091  210278
root@impala:/root(27)# we /var/lib/portage/world

But why do you think, that I added the package and all its dependencies to /var/lib/portage/world? Why do you think that packages like openrc-settingsd are in my /var/lib/portage/world? Of course openrc-settingsd was only installed as dependency.

That it is easier to set systemd systemwide I also thought after setting it several times in /usr/porpage/packages.use, but should I really set consolekit systemwide? I found several discussion in the web that systemd and consolekit does not work with each other.

Then, if nothing from your world file is pulling openrc-settingsd, portage handles the block automatically (removing it instead of dying)

You need to enable it system wide as migration guide says:

OK, I added consolekit (again) and systemd to USE in /etc/make.conf.

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. You may want to try a larger value of
the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if
that will solve this conflict automatically.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man
page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.


The following USE changes are necessary to proceed:
 (see "package.use" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by gnome-base/gnome-core-apps-3.8.0[networkmanager]

# required by @selected
# required by @world (argument)
>=gnome-extra/nm-applet-0.9.8.2 bluetooth
# 
>=virtual/udev-206 static-libs

Use --autounmask-write to write changes to config files (honoring
CONFIG_PROTECT). Carefully examine the list of proposed changes,
paying special attention to mask or keyword changes that may expose
experimental or unstable packages.

emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy ">=sys-apps/systemd-206[gudev?,introspection?,kmod?,selinux?,static-libs(-)?]".

This shouldn't occur, maybe the message is wrong due other blockers :/ (probably a portage bug with subslots as it gnome-desktop is not requiring 3/4, it simply needs rebuilding).

Did you try to increase "--backtrack" to something like 100?

This is an old problem, I thought I had to wait for a new version of xsp, which is compatible with mono-3. I can remove this issue by erasing monodevelop, monodevelop-database, monodevelop-debugger-gdb, xsp, zeitgeist-datasources, zeitgeist, rhythmbox, libzeitgeist, mono-tools and mono-basic. Is there an better way?

nemo is a dependency of cinnamon.  After erasing nemo and cinnamon the issue disappeared.

"--backtrack=100" does not change much (I unmasked libsoup-gnome again):

root@impala:/root(254)# emerge  -avuDN --backtrack=100 world

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

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.

No!

libgweather should be updated to 3.8.2, not sure why 3.6.x version is being pulled in. 

Regarding the USE changes, why don't you let portage do that changes?

With letting portage to do changes, you mean to call emerge --autounmask-write, do you? I think this option is rather new, and I was until yesterday not able to look how to use this option and what are the consequences. After reading http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Knowledge_Base:Unmasking_a_package
I still not yet know, what it is exactly doing. 'emerge --autounmask-write world' writes only to /etc/portage/packages.mask and /etc/portage/packages.mask/monolytic, respectively or does it change also /etc/portage/packages.use and /etc/portage/packages.use/monolytic?

BTW. not only "leopard" and "impala" are affected by the gnome-3.8 upgrade issues, but I think all my systems with different processors and graphic cards, server and workstation (but all with gnome) show this issue. If I take the next "caiman" I added systemd to the USE flags in /etc/make.conf and masked >sys-auth/consolekit-0.4.5_p20120320-r2.

'emerge -pvuDN world' complains about

At "caiman" sys-fs/udev-206 was still installed:

root@caiman:/usr/src/linux(68)# qlist -Iv udev
sys-fs/udev-206

If other people aren't having this problem, then that means you probably have some kind of configuration problem that's triggering it. If that's the case, then the forums, gentoo-user mailing list, or #gentoo-user irc channel are probably among best places to work it out (bugzilla is not so good for that).

OK, I will stop sending reports to this bug. Only one note I would like to post. I think that I identified the problem in my configuration. It seems me that the static-lib USE flag of lvm2 was responsible for the final blocking of sys-fs/udev
 and sys-apps/systemd. At least after removing this flag 'emerge  -avuDN world' was running.

Congratulations on finding the answer to this tricky issue! Lots of us were hitting the virtual/udev[static-libs] related blockers.

… but, what about systems, which have have the root fs on a LVM2 volume.
(I'm struggling with this).

From what I understand, the lvm2 has the static-lib USE, so that it can be
statically build to be included in a initramfs. So that a root LVM2 volume
can be activated, before it is acutally mounted.

I am using an encrypted partition as rootfs. The current genkernel version (3.4.47) is intelligent enough to be able to use non-static cryptsetup by automatically adding necessary libraries to initramfs.

Check if it works with non-static lvm2; if it doesn't, please file a bug against genkernel.

(Also, you don't need USE=static-libs for lvm2. Even with old, broken genkernel versions, you only needed USE=static.)

Well, you're correct. I stand corrected.

I rebuild the initramfs after rebuilding LVM2 with -static-lib and compared
the old and new files. Compared by filesize and number of files (except two
secondary files) they were actually identical.

And can you boot your systems with init=systemd, where the root files system is on a LVM2 volume?
I seems me, that the /usr filesystem, which I have on a lvm2 volume, is the reason that my systems does not boot with init=systemd.
