Re: [gentoo-server] Many emerge errors

[Michael Stilson]

hey marcus,

when i've run into this in the past, a couple of things that were
gotchas for me were:

*) "obsolete" profile
*) "obsolete" use flags in my /etc/make.conf

you can check your current profile selection with:

# eselect profile list

you should be able to update/set a more recent one with that tool also,
if needed.

i use the "ufed" tool to peruse my use flags quarterly, because they do
change/move-around from time-to-time.  ufed will list them as an unknown
use flag if it's no longer in use.


found this on the forums, related to the AC_PROG_LIBTOOL variable that
you also appear to be having issues with.

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-829086-highlight-aclocal.html

maybe a re-emerge of libtool will do the trick?

also, have you tried running a revdep-rebuild against that server?  you
can run it with the "--ask" or "--pretend" flags so you can review the
re-emerges before you commit to them. e.g.

# revdep-rebuild -- --alphabetical --ask --verbose

revdep-rebuild is a trusted ally for me.  ;)


and finally, not sure if it's relevant to your situation, but i found:

http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-823537-start-0.html
and
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314493


good luck,
