Well I'm going to share a problem I have right now. If you suffer from it, |
14 |
it could affect a myriad of different applications with different symptoms. |
15 |
I do not know if this will help you, but it's work checking into. |

Eselect news list 2015-3-28 lists "True multilib support on amd64" |
19 |
|
20 |
For me, I run a simple profile: [1] default/linux/amd64/13.0 * |
21 |
|
22 |
Because I run lxde and have experimented with several other minimalistic |
23 |
desktops, including lxqt. Currently, I run lxde. If I emerge with the --deep |
24 |
option, I get so much breakage that 3000 lines of scrollback is not enough |
25 |
to get to the head of the problem. Many errors contain the common string |
26 |
"abi_x86_32" which is central to the aforementioned news item. I have read |
27 |
this news item many times, tried many ideas, and still have this phantom |
28 |
problem. I can delete some packages had at the update, hours to days, |
29 |
get it cleaned up to where -D works and a couple of emerge --syncs later |
30 |
the problem reappears. Global update without (-D) --deep are just fine. |
31 |

I have no idea if this "phantom issue" relates to yours or not. I have |
34 |
hesitated to post about it, because in a decade of gentoo usage (and there |
35 |
have been some ruff patches to say the least) I have never experienced a |
36 |
transient recurring problem like this. I think I need a much longer |
37 |
version of that news item and some cook_book syntax to fixing these |
38 |
(phantom) multilb issues on my amd64 systems that I am experiencing. |
39 |
|
40 |
Some simple questions:: |
41 |
|
42 |
1. How do you test if indeed a system is multilib? |
43 |
2. Can a system be change, readily, from multilib to not and then back? |
44 |
3. Is a more specific profile needed for one where you intend to |
45 |
run only a minimalist (lxqt) desktop (than what I listed above)? |
46 |
|
47 |
|
48 |
Note:: My ultimate goal is minimal desktops (lxqt) on most systems and |
49 |
excess resources pledged (dynamically) to a meso cluster underneath my |
50 |
gentoo systems. |

Comments and guidance are warmly appreciated. |

Peter I'm not trying to hijack your thread, but enquire as to commonality. |
