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 |
