Portage may not be smart enough to work around selective use of unstable |
| 15 |
packages. e.g., I've had to use lm-sensors-2.8.8 (masked with ~x86) to get |
| 16 |
the package working, and have had to add a line to /etc/portage/package.mask |
| 17 |
to keep 'emerge -u world' from downgrading the package. If I set |
| 18 |
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" then portage wants to upgrade _everything_ to |
| 19 |
unstable. Not good! So with "<sys-apps/lm-sensors-2.8.8" in package.mask, |
| 20 |
I get the following: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
# emerge -D -u -p world |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Calculating world dependencies - |
| 27 |
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "sys-apps/lm-sensors" have been masked. |
| 28 |
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your |
| 29 |
request: |
| 30 |
- sys-apps/lm-sensors-2.8.1 (masked by: package.mask) |
| 31 |
- sys-apps/lm-sensors-2.7.0-r1 (masked by: package.mask) |
| 32 |
- sys-apps/lm-sensors-2.8.8 (masked by: ~x86 keyword) |
| 33 |
- sys-apps/lm-sensors-2.8.3 (masked by: package.mask) |
| 34 |
- sys-apps/lm-sensors-2.8.5 (masked by: package.mask) |
| 35 |
- sys-apps/lm-sensors-2.8.7 (masked by: package.mask) |
| 36 |
- sys-apps/lm-sensors-2.8.2 (masked by: package.mask) |
| 37 |
- sys-apps/lm-sensors-2.8.4 (masked by: package.mask) |
| 38 |
- sys-apps/lm-sensors-2.6.5 (masked by: package.mask) |
| 39 |
- sys-apps/lm-sensors-2.8.6 (masked by: package.mask) |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or |
| 42 |
section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook. |
| 43 |
!!! (dependency required by "x11-misc/xsensors-0.46" [ebuild]) |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
!!! Problem with ebuild x11-misc/xsensors-0.46 |
| 47 |
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
!!! Depgraph creation failed. |

But if I comment out the restriction in package.mask, then portage wants to |
| 54 |
install an older version of the package in a different slot, which probably |
| 55 |
won't work since the old version doesn't grok my mainboard. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Quite frankly, I liked the -U ebuild option, which solves the problem, but |
| 58 |
apparently -U is going to go away. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
I know this is all rather OT for this list, but I appreciate the knowledge |
| 61 |
and advice! |
