Subject: [gentoo-user] Portage update errors
Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2018 02:53:11
Message-Id: 20181121135250.5e01b714@linux-0ft9
1 I have a machine with Gentoo, which was installed from scratch 5 months
2 ago, was updated 3 months ago. Time to look at it again.
3
4 emerge --sync
5
6 told me that I was strongly advised to update portage.
7
8 emerge portage
9
10 comes back with lots of errors, see below (the output is slightly
11 edited for brevity).
12
13 There is nothing to mask those packages, for example the word 'certifi'
14 does not occur in *any* file under /etc/portage at all.
15
16 The system is a stock-standard Gentoo with nothing fancy except one
17 thing: although it is installed as a 64-bit system, it is told to also
18 install every library in 32-bit mode, because it must be able to run
19 closed-source 32-bit programs.
20
21 As per the "5 config files ..." bit, well, dispatch-conf and etc-update
22 tell me that they have nothing to do, so I have no idea what 5 files
23 need updating, to what and how to update them.
24
25 I don't really understand how portage works (but I'd be glad if someone
26 could point me to a single-entity document of its architecture and
27 internals) so I couldn't even guess what its problem is. And the system
28 is not *that* old, really.
29
30 Any help would be much appreciated,
31
32 Thanks,
33

39 * IMPORTANT: 5 config files in '/etc/portage' need updating.
40 * See the CONFIGURATION FILES and CONFIGURATION FILES UPDATE TOOLS
41 * sections of the emerge man page to learn how to update config files.

159 It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
160 prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
161 possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
162 impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in
163 the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
164 not be installed simultaneously. You may want to try a larger value of
165 the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if
166 that will solve this conflict automatically.

169 page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
