Posted: Wed Jul 31, 2024 12:19 pm Post subject: emerge --depclean wants to remove package installed recently |
|
|
Hello,
I have installed libreoffice (not the bin version). The installation finished without problems and have run libreoffice to check if it is working.
I then wanted to update my system and did these.
Code: |
emerge --sync
emerge -auUDNv --with-bdeps=y @world (**** installed 6 more packages ****)
emerge --ask --depclean
|
The emerge --depclean wants to uninstall the libreoffice package besides other packages.
Quote: | Code: |
* Always study the list of packages to be cleaned for any obvious
* mistakes. Packages that are part of the world set will always
* be kept. They can be manually added to this set with
* `emerge --noreplace <atom>`. Packages that are listed in
* package.provided (see portage(5)) will be removed by
* depclean, even if they are part of the world set.
*
* As a safety measure, depclean will not remove any packages
* unless *all* required dependencies have been resolved. As a
* consequence of this, it often becomes necessary to run
* `emerge --update --newuse --deep @world` prior to depclean.
Calculating dependencies... done!

Would you like to unmerge these packages? [Yes/No]

Why would this want to do that?

What does
Code: | grep libreoffice /var/lib/portage/world |
say?
p.s. U and N don't make sense. U is a subset of N. If you aren't building binary packages, better drop N, it may cause unnecessary rebuilds.

Could you check the file itself has something in it?
If not, then did you emerge libreoffice with -1 of --oneshot? Or did you run emerge --deselect lireoffice?

In this case,
Code: | # emerge --noreplace app-office/libreoffice |
should do the trick. |

Yes cat /var/lib/portage/word has content.
I have been building libreoffice using ebuild, after I have stopped the emerge build. Can this be the problem. But I did "ebuild <ebuild-file> merge" which installed the package. I could even run libreoffice, and it started. It spawned realy fast. Was not expecting that quick of an action. |

To my memory it should have recorded it in world, but I might be wrong. In this case follow the advice of eeckwrk99.
p.s. that's one reason I prefer keepwork over ebuild command in your other thread.

It might be because the way I installed it? With ebuild to resume operation. But it merged fine, have seen messages of the install. |

Yes, Since I did start the emerge and continued with the ebuild on monday, I did not want to start from scratch.
I think after I do a noreplace to the package, it will be fine I believe?
I will be using keepwork for other packages. |

Yes. --noreplace instructs emerge to record it in world.

It turns out for two packages that I have used ebuild, the packages were not recorded in the world list. One of these was libreoffice. The other was evince, which I wanted to test ebuild with.
So I will be using keepwork for my next packages.
Thank you all for your answers. |

It's a mystery for me why ebuild merge didn't record it in world. It should have done so.

Gnome-pomodoro is an ebuild I wrote and maintain in my overlay. Ebuild merge has always merged it into the system, which means it should have recorded it in world too. I have no clue why it may have not recorded it in world. Are you sure you weren't running the old version of it thinking it was the new?
What ebuild command did you use?
Best Regards,
Georgi |

I have also seen a message where it says Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache....
But this beats me at the moment.
I have used ebuild <pkg-name> compile since I stoped it at the compile stage. Then ebuild <pkg-name> merge where it said that it regenerated the ld.so.cache.
I could have saved one command and issued the merge command instead, but did not feel appropriate at that time. |

As far as I know, and after a quick test, it seems to me that "ebuild <ebuild-file> merge" in fact does /not/ record packages into the 'world' file... which is good, I think, because otherwise I'd have quite a lot of entries there that I wouldn't want to be there. ^^; _________________ Kindest of regardses. |

Actually I have been making a mistake here. I've been checking with equery which correctly reports the package being installed, but that does not mean it's in world. So I'm wrong, ebuild merge does not record it in world and that's the answer to OP.

`ebuild ... merge` is a low-level tool and doesn't install DEPEND for you either -- it is hardly surprising that it also doesn't add packages to your world file.
Would be kind of awkward to try using low-level tooliing to test packages, if every time you did, it added the package to your world file and you had to deselect it again.
Adding libreoffice *once* to your world file suffices, it is fine to use the ebuild command instead of FEATURES=keepwork if you like. |

But keepwork will be better. I can clean up afterwards the tmp directories. I have also written a script that will just do that, taking into account any emerges that are in progress. |

I think I should clarify you should not use keepwork all the time. Use it only to resume a terminated ebuild. It does not need to be started with keepwork enabled, it just needs to be resumed with it. Emerge won't clean anything on termination, only on successful emerge and normal emerge startup (of that same package). If you want it to not clean up on the next start of the same package, then you need to pass FEATURES="keepwork" on the command line. Do not put it in make.conf, that's a recipe for problems. My advice is as soon as it completes the terminated package, to break again, clean up and resume normally.
Ideally you should use those only to fix unwanted situations. And if you use the binhost, most of the time you wouldn't even need to think about them.
Best Regards,
Georgi |

Thanks for the clarification. Will use keepwork when package install was aborted to make it resume. If the merge compleeted with keepwork, will remove the pacakges from the PORTAGE_TMPDIR.
I will not put this in my make.conf. It should not be global. And there is also warnings in the documentation, I believe. Remember reading that. |
