Well, after 18 hours of that emerge -e world, I started the completely |
| 15 |
rebuilt system, removed those three packages from package.mask: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
$ cat /etc/portage/package.mask |
| 18 |
>=sys-boot/grub-2.00 |
| 19 |
=sys-fs/lvm2-2.02.109 |
| 20 |
# |
| 21 |
#=dev-lang/perl-5.20.2 |
| 22 |
#~virtual/perl-File-Spec-3.480.100 |
| 23 |
#~virtual/perl-Storable-2.490.100 |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
...and ran perl-cleaner again. Same result - portage exited silently when |
| 26 |
given the list of packages to install. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Next, "eselect python set 1" set the main active version from its previous |
| 29 |
3.3 to 2.7, just in case of some problem with 3.3. No difference. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Then I chose one of the silently ignored packages and tried to emerge it |
| 32 |
myself, but still portage did nothing: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
--------- |
| 35 |
$ sudo emerge -1av dev-perl/Text-WrapI18N |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Calculating dependencies .... done! |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Total: 0 packages, Size of downloads: 0 KiB |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Nothing to merge; quitting. |
| 44 |
--------- |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Yet the package is in the database: |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
$ eix -Ic dev-perl/Text-WrapI18N |
| 49 |
[I] dev-perl/Text-WrapI18N (0.60.0-r1{tbz2}@10/02/15): Internationalized |
| 50 |
substitute of Text::Wrap |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Today's routine sync and update has pulled two packages in: gentoo- |
| 53 |
sources-3.18.11 and chromium-41.0.2272.118. Gentoo-sources has just been |
| 54 |
installed and I'm compiling the new kernel; chromium will take longer. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
This just gets weirder and weirder. When does portage do what it's told and |
| 57 |
when does it not? ;) |
