Ok now, I'm getting fed up with all of the breakage that I've seen in Gentoo |
2 |
in the last few months. |
3 |
|
4 |
I'm trying to upgrade MythTV. Emerge told me to upgrade my profile, which I |
5 |
did. |
6 |
|
7 |
Now I'm doing an emerge -u world. |
8 |
|
9 |
But before I could do that, I had to upgrade portage, with made sense. |
10 |
|
11 |
When I go to emerge -u portage, I'm told: |
12 |
|
13 |
sys-apps/mktemp (is blocking sys-apps/coreutils-7.1) |
14 |
|
15 |
So I do: |
16 |
emerge -C mktemp |
17 |
|
18 |
Now I've gotten a whole page of error messages. The most basic of error |
19 |
messages indicates that the system can't load libselinux.so.1. |
20 |
|
21 |
I'm not using SElinux!!!! Nor do I want to. |
22 |
|
23 |
All I want to do is upgrade a machine that I built a few months ago. In fact, |
24 |
all I want to do is upgrade a SINGLE PACKAGE on that machine!!! |
25 |
|
26 |
Has Gentoo become such a moving target that it's no longer suitable for |
27 |
normal, every day, usage? |
28 |
|
29 |
I've got another machine that needs to be upgraded, but hasn't been upgraded |
30 |
in some time. So it's profile is obsolete and many of the core packages have |
31 |
been moved around so much that there is no upgrade path from where it is now, |
32 |
to where Gentoo is. |
33 |
|
34 |
Is it time to start looking for a new distribution? It seems that as long as |
35 |
I keep rebuilding machines from a current live CD, all is well. But if I try |
36 |
to upgrade anything else, I end up having to reformat. I've been using Gentoo |
37 |
long enough to have actually met Daniel Robbins in person, but I'm considering |
38 |
moving to a different distribution. |
39 |
|
40 |
Remember, all I want to do is upgrade MythTV. |
