Thanks everybody for your help. I've made the further suggested |
58 |
changes, but I remain with the three hard blocks. |
59 |
|
60 |
I've now spent about 7 hours over the last two days on this issue (about |
61 |
2x the fresh install time), when all I wanted to do was a routine |
62 |
update. I've reworked a large part of my system, adding a new |
63 |
package.mask file and populating it with six packages. |
64 |
|
65 |
I suppose its now time for an uninstall. Kind of disappointing; we are |
66 |
told Gentoo is about choices, and in fact that's true. I made the |
67 |
choice to use a pure openRC system. The last 7 hours of free time, |
68 |
though, was spent trying, and ultimately failing, to correct a problem |
69 |
not chosen, not wanted, and not invited. |
70 |
|
71 |
The sine qua non is unarguably systemd. Even though my choice was to |
72 |
not deploy it, apparently it takes a significant time commitment and/or |
73 |
developer-level knowledge to choose to not use it. Quite the inelegant |
74 |
end to my once-trusty OS. |
