Ok, I noticed a problem with binutils: |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
beta profiles # emerge -u world --pretend |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
These are the packages that I would merge, in order. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Calculating world dependencies - |
| 8 |
!!! Error: couldn't find match for sys-devel/binutils in update (likely |
| 9 |
old /var/db/pkg entry) |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
---------------------- |
| 12 |
So, I did some looking, and I noticed in |
| 13 |
/usr/portage/profiles/default-ppc-1.0/packages, line 36: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
# arrrrggg someone in x86 land unmsked a non working on ppc binutils |
| 16 |
build |
| 17 |
# Gerk - June 12 2002 |
| 18 |
>=sys-devel/binutils-2.12.90.0.9 |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
---------------------- |
| 21 |
But then at the top of package.mask: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
=sys-devel/binutils-2.12.90.0.9 |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
---------------------- |
| 26 |
So, for kicks, I unmaked binutils, and I get: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
>>> emerge sys-devel/binutils-2.12.90.0.9 to / |
| 29 |
>>> md5 ;-) binutils-2.12.90.0.9.tar.bz2 |
| 30 |
* |
| 31 |
* Please do not use this release of binutils, as it |
| 32 |
* is very buggy (cannot even compile glibc)!!! |
| 33 |
* |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
So, I'm wondering whats up with binutils. Portage is effectively saying |
| 37 |
that there are no appropriate versions of binutils to install for the |
| 38 |
ppc (2.12.90.0.9 is the most recent ebuild). |
