hello gentoo devs, |
2 |
|
3 |
i have found some problems in the --clean function of portage. |
4 |
|
5 |
[1] when i do the following: |
6 |
|
7 |
#emerge -c pam-login |
8 |
|
9 |
i can't login after this anymore. i have fixed it with connecting to my server |
10 |
through ssh and do |
11 |
|
12 |
#emerge pam-login |
13 |
|
14 |
after that everything works fine again, but what do people with only one pc |
15 |
do? |
16 |
|
17 |
[2] when i do: |
18 |
|
19 |
#emerge -c apache |
20 |
#emerge -c samba |
21 |
|
22 |
i can't start them anymore because some binaries in: |
23 |
/usr/sbin/ |
24 |
was missing (apache, smbd and nmbd). |
25 |
|
26 |
[3] when i do: |
27 |
|
28 |
kern1 root # emerge -pc java-config |
29 |
|
30 |
>>> These are the packages that I would unmerge: |
31 |
|
32 |
dev-java/java-config |
33 |
selected: 0.2.4-r1 |
34 |
protected: 0.2.4 |
35 |
omitted: none |
36 |
|
37 |
>>> Packages in red are slated for removal. |
38 |
>>> Packages in green will not be removed. |
39 |
|
40 |
you can see, that portage wants to unmerge the -r1 version, although it is the |
41 |
newest version? when i do: |
42 |
#emerge -c java-config |
43 |
#emerge -pu world |
44 |
|
45 |
it lists me java-config-0.2.4-r1 for updating again. |
46 |
|
47 |
i got the same problem with some other apps too (apache i think). i have done: |
48 |
#emerge -C apache |
49 |
#emerge apache |
50 |
to get the newest version running. i know, that this is not the solution |
51 |
because some apps needs older libs etc. i do this only with apps like samba |
52 |
or apache where i know, that i can emerge the newest version and everything |
53 |
works fine again. |
54 |
|
55 |
for me it's not a problem because i'm working very carefull with the emerge -c |
56 |
function since my production server was totally shot down after i have run |
57 |
emerge -c |
58 |
|
59 |
i know now that this is not a stable function, so i do: |
60 |
#emerge -pc foopackage |
61 |
#emerge -c foopackage |
62 |
and i'm making a list of all packages i've unmerged on a sheet of paper on my |
63 |
desktop. a can then remerge a package when some things are working not right. |
64 |
|
65 |
i know, that some parts of this has been posted allready. i do this because i |
66 |
don't need help, but find a solution for this. |
67 |
|
68 |
i'll submit this as a bug to bugs.gentoo.org in the next days because i want |
69 |
to test the things that happend one more this weekend. reports of it will |
70 |
follow here... |
71 |
|
72 |
