I live in Canada, and want to get rid of alerts on a smartphone. Our |
| 2 |
CRTC (analog to US FCC) has decreed that *ALL* alerts are sent out at the |
| 3 |
highest level. That includes everything from incoming-nuclear-missiles |
| 4 |
to missing-kid-500-km-away-at-2:00-AM-in-the-morning. Americans roaming |
| 5 |
on a Canadian network would see every alert as a "Presidential Alert". |
| 6 |
Because Canada was late to the alert game (April 2018), 3G was exempted |
| 7 |
from the alerts because it's considered "legacy". I've forced my phone |
| 8 |
to 3G. But 3G will eventually shut down, so I need to find some way to |
| 9 |
get rid of the alerts altogether. |

I got to https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Android/adb and the instructions |
| 12 |
are relatively simple. Install adb and then... |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
pm uninstall --user 0 com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
But I ran into a problem... |
| 17 |
|

[x8940][root][~] emerge --ask dev-util/android-sdk-update-manager |

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "dev-util/android-sdk-update-manager" have been masked. |
| 21 |
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: |
| 22 |
- dev-util/android-sdk-update-manager-24.4.1-r1::gentoo (masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword) |
| 23 |
/var/db/repos/gentoo/profiles/arch/amd64/no-multilib/package.mask: |
| 24 |
# AMD64 Team <amd64@g.o> |
| 25 |
# Mask packages that rely on amd64 multilib |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
The part "Mask packages that rely on amd64 multilib" implies that |
| 28 |
something in the package relies on multilib. This is the first time |
| 29 |
I've run into something requiring multilib since trying to build WINE, |
| 30 |
ages ago. And my system is no-multilib. Is there a way around this? |
