[gentoo-user] emerge problm

[Tom Stoddard]

I have an emerge problem. When I try to update my system I get a
dependency that cannot be satisfied. For some reason emerge wants
gcc-4.7-r1,
which I do not think is available, even if it is masked. I have tried

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge gcc-4.7-r1

When I try to update my system I get:


zork root # emerge -up system

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating system dependencies \
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy ">=sys-devel/gcc-4.7-r1".


!!! Problem with ebuild sys-apps/groff-1.19.1-r2
!!! Possibly a DEPEND/*DEPEND problem.

!!! Depgraph creation failed.


I have seen similar postings but not for the problem I have.

This problem occurs even after an emerge sync.

I have spent hours pouring thru /usr/portage trying to find where the
dependency for gcc-4.7-r1 is coming from. No luck.

What else does it want to emerge? There is probably a bad ebuild.

Do you have a portage overlay directory? (generally /usr/local/portage) That
might contain a bad ebuild.

Also, have you tried emerge -ptu system and/or equery depgraph
=sys-apps/groff-1.19.1-r2? Those might be able to tell you what ebuilds are
trying to bring in gcc-4.7!

Try `emerge sync` again.

I recently encountered a similar problem after syncing a system that
hadn't been upgraded in awhile, but after syncing again, it went away.
Dunno why, but you may as well give it a shot.

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy ">=sys-devel/gcc-4.7-r1".

To summarise, it seems that for some as yet unknown reason, gcc-2.95 sometimes
has PROVIDE="sys-apps/texinfo". Any dependencies on >=sys-apps/texinfo-4.7-r1
are being replaced with >=sys-devel/gcc-4.7-r1. To fix it, find the file
/var/db/pkg/sys-devel/gcc*/PROVIDE containing "sys-apps/texinfo" and make that
file empty.

This bug just doesnt want to go away, does it Jason? :)
