net-wireless/wpa_supplicant cannot be installed

[m_p_w]

I keep trying to install net-wireless/wpa_supplicant, but I get an error "Failed to emerge dev-python/m2crypto-0.24.0".
Basically it says that dev-python/m2crypto is needed for net-wireless/wpa_supplicant, but then I am not sure why it fails to be emerged

m_p_w,

Put the build log for dev-python/m2crypto onto a pastebin site.
The failure message will give the location of the build log.

Probably something like https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=827068

Edit to add: I don't have it on my desktop, but I run wpa_supplicant on the laptop and it didn't have a problem compiling m2crypto.

wpa_supplicant-2.6-r6
m2crypto-0.24.0
openssl-1.0.2o-r3


Edit to add2: same problem - Solved -> https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1080608-start-0.html

The latest stable version is openssl-1.0.2o-r3, that's what should be being loaded.

If you do an "emerge -pv @world" what does it show? ( "-p" is the pretend flag, nothing will get emerged)

it says that dev-libs/openssl-1.1.0i:0/1.1::gentoo is being loaded

should I downgrade it to openssl-1.0.2o-r3?

[fedeliallalinea]

You should have an entry for openssl in /etc/portage/package.keywords, remove that.
Or as fedeliallalinea said it might be in package.unmask, if so remove it

Then redo the pretend emerge command and lets make sure that the old one is going to be installed.


Edit to add: Also check /etc/portage/make.conf and look for the EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS line.
Does it have "--autounmask=n" on that line?

Ok thank you guys, now it works, I changed " =dev-libs/openssl-1.1.0i " to "=dev-libs/openssl-1.0.2o-r3 " in /etc/portage/package.unmask
and later I used the command emerge --ask openssl to downgrade openssl to 1.0.2o-r3.

m_p_w,

There are some changes in dev-libs/openssl-1.1 that make it incompatible with dev-libs/openssl-1.0 and lots of things that depend on openssl too.
Left to its own devices, portage will install dev-libs/openssl-1.0 for you.

[Anon-E-moose]

Thanks Neddy, I was going to tell him that.

m_p_w, try not to keep too many entries in your /etc/portage/package.* files as they will become harder to keep up with.
You shouldn't need much of anything in the package.unmask file, that's usually empty.

[m_p_w]

but then can I just delete etc/portage/package.* and it will automatically install dev-libs/openssl-1.0 and not dev-libs/openssl-1.1?

[NeddySeagoon]

m_p_w,

Correct.

You can always comment out the entry and test.

Trust but verify :)

I wouldn't delete them en-mass.

package.unmask is fine to be empty.
package.mask, keyword and use might or might not be needed depending on what you have or what you plan on installing on your system.

Edit to add: as Neddy said, commenting out is better, that way if needed you can easily uncomment, and not needed you can delete the commented line later.
