1 Hi,
2
3 while updateing I got this:
4
5 These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
6
7 Calculating dependencies... done!
8
9 Total: 0 packages, Size of downloads: 0 KiB
10
11 !!! The following update has been skipped due to unsatisfied dependencies:
12
13 dev-libs/boost:0
14
15 selected: (dev-libs/boost-1.63.0:0/1.63.0::gentoo, installed)
16 skipped: (dev-libs/boost-1.65.0:0/1.65.0::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (see unsatisfied dependency below)
17
18 !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=dev-util/boost-build-1.65*" have been masked.
19 !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
20 - dev-util/boost-build-1.65.0::gentoo (masked by: )
21
22 (dependency required by "dev-libs/boost-1.65.0::gentoo" [ebuild])
23 For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge
24 man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
25
26 I would interpret this as follows:
27 emerge would like to upgrade to dev-libs/boost-1.65.0:0/1.65.0 and
28 needs =dev-util/boost-build-1.65* for that, of which in turn emerge
29 thinks, it has been (cite) "masked by: ".
30
31 Since ":" is to less of a text to mask a whole package it must be the
32 " " after that ... :)
33
34 Seriously...as root I did
35
36 /etc>grep -r boost-build
37 [1] 26987 exit 1 egrep --color -r boost-build
38 /etc>
39
40 ...and as emerge before...I did not find anything.
41
42 What is masking boost-build ?
43 Where can I search else?
44
45 Thanks a lot in advance for unmasking this riddle !
46 Cheers
