 Posted: Mon Sep 15, 2014 6:40 am Post subject: [Solved] Cannot Update New Gentoo |
 |
|
Hello to all on the forum.
Well I had some issues getting Gentoo to fully boot. Well, now that that is out of the way, I can move on to the next problem(s).
When I try to update my system "emerge -avuND world" I get an "Error: circular dependencies
(sys-libs/nurses-5.9-r3 ::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) dependson
(sys-libs/gpm-1.20.7-r2::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) (buildtime)
(sys-libs/ncurses-5.9-r3::gentoo, ebuild shceduled for merge) (buildtime)"
then I get a suggestion to "-gpm" in my USE flags, which I did and now, all it says "can be avoided by temp disabling USE flags that trigger optional dep.." My problem is I have no clue what the other dependcies are because I cannot scroll to the top to see what they are.
In addition, when I try to "emerge --rsync" I get an error "[Errno -2] Name or service not known". I have "rsync://rsync3.us.gentoo.org" in my /etc/portage/make.conf file.
I am lost . All the wiki's that I read through offered no solution. So if someone could help I would be most grateful.
I forgot to say that when I login as root, if I ls or pwd I the only folder that is displayed is the root folder, but when I cd into my user folder it shows the files there. Am I missing something?
Thank you.

Should just be...
SYNC="rsync://rsync24.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage"
that rsync3 host seems a bit slow/broken.
EDIT: Also it looks like you used mirrorselect which puts broken links in the SYNC var. The hosts should always have /gentoo-portage at the end.

use -p (pretend) key instead of -a. emerge will not build anything, just will show what would built, including possible errors and conflicts.
| Code: | | emerge -pvuDN world > emerge-pretend |
Once it finished you can read entire the output in "emerge-pretend" file (open it with nano, mcedit or any other text editor)
| Code: | | nano emerge-pretend |

It's normal. By default /root contains only some hidden files that cannot be seen with ls. |

My guess is that you changed the USE flags in a way that you created a circular dependency. The default USE flags should be tuned in a way that avoids this, and that's why it's not advised to change much USEs until you have a properly working system.
gpm needs ncurses. But, ncurses also needs gpm IF the "gpm" use flag is enabled. So, this is a chicken-egg problem.
To sove it, just do this:
| Code: | | # USE="-gpm" emerge -va ncurses |
That should emerge ncurses without gpm support. After that, you can emerge gpm and then, if needed, re-emerge ncurses with gpm support (if you truly need that nowadays). |

Thank you for the replies.
@shazeal
"Also it looks like you used mirrorselect which puts broken links in the SYNC var. The hosts should always have /gentoo-portage at the end."
I do not understand. Are you talking about the /etc/portage/make.conf file, where the broken links are, or somewhere else?
@creaker
Thanks for the tips. I am writing them on a sticky note so I can remember. Until I get used to Gentoo I am going to have a lot of notes everywhere.
Thanks again. |

@i92guboj
I used the command "
# USE="-gpm" emerge -va ncurses" and it went through. But when I tried to "emerge -avuND world" I get the same error again.
When I "emerge --rsync" it says it is not a valid package atom. Please check ebuild(5) for full details.
I feels like I just keep hitting a brick wall. |

| It should be just "emerge --sync" instead of the --rsync. This will update your portage tree ( does not modify your system; just letting portage know of new package only. |

With emerge --sync I still get an error, it says that the getaddrinfo failed for | Code: | | 'rsync://rsync24.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage... Name or service not known... error in socket IO (code 10)ar clientserver.c(122) [Receiver=309]... Exhausted addresses for rsync24.us.gentoo.org" |
Is my problem that my internet modules are not loading at boot?
When I chroot into my system I did an update and it worked without any errors. Unfortunately, nothing of the updates took when I booted into my system. I was greeted with the same dependency error.
_____
edit
well I tried to make eth0 start with | Code: | | /etc/init.d/net.eth0 start |
and it says the interface does not exist
I ran "#rc-update add net.eth0 default" it says "net.eth0 already installed in runlevel 'default'; skipping"
"#rc and it says eth0 does not exist, failed to start, cannot start netmount as net.eth0 would not start"
Is this a kernel config problem then?
How would I find the right option in the kernel option?
thanks |

udev will change the names the the kernel assigns the network interfaces, if it is allowed to.
boot the installed gentoo, run is eth0 listed in the output?

@DONAHUE, Thank you for the quick response.

where the handbook example was | Code: | cd /etc/init.d
ln -s net.lo net.eth0
rc-update add net.eth0 default |
you need to create | Code: | cd /etc/init.d
ln -s net.lo net.enp2s0 |
followed by | Code: | | rc-update add net.enp2s0 default |
delete the obsolete names with | Code: | rm /etc/init.d/net.eth0
rc-update del net.etho default |
Alternatively, if you wish to keep kernel names eth0, eth1 ... wlan0, wlan1... etc, you can, by adding net.ifnames=0 to the kernel line in the boot loader
Note that this information is presented in the Gentoo Handbook.
After changing the names to the udev version; | Code: | /etc/init.d/net.enp2s0 restart
ifconfig |
should show enp2s0 in the output to show the kernel can see and drive the NIC and the NIC is up.
nano /etc/resolv.conf ??

Thank you so much!
"nano /etc/resolv.conf" | Code: | | #Generated bu dhcpcd from enp2s0 #/etc/resolv.conf.head can replace this line nameserver 192.168.11.1 #/etc/resolv.conf.tail can replace this line |
In /etc/default/grub I ucommented "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="net.ifnames-0" Is this what you ment "if you wish to keep kernel names eth0, eth1 ... wlan0, wlan1... etc, you can, by adding net.ifnames=0 to the kernel line in the boot loader" ?
I went through this last step, on installation, and obviously I did it wrong. Thank you for the step by step instructions. It is nice when you do a command and have no errors. |

Well shoot!
now that I have a working network, I still cannot get past the sys-libs, sys-devel circular dependencies, even when I run #USE="-gpm" emerge -va ncurses.
I tried "emerge -pvuND world > emerge-pretend" and get "Invalid USE flag in '/usr/portage/profiles/base/use.mask' : 'net-libs/ortp zrtp'' plus the circular dependencies below it.
I commented it out but I am still stuck with the same error. |

<shift><page up> or <shift><page down> should scroll the console
provides means to pass large amount of text accurately and easily to an internet pastebin. formats are | Code: | | wgetpaste /path/to/file |
or | Code: | | command | wgetpaste |
to paste a file or a command output respectively. The pastebin site will return a url for your post which you can share here. Suggest you use | Code: | wgetpaste /etc/portage/make.conf
emerge --info | wgetpaste
eselect profile list | wgetpaste
emerge -C gpm ncurses
emerge -pvuND world | wgetpaste |
and post the url's returned

looks like bpaste.net is still messed up, pastebin.ca also
wgetpaste -S will provide a list of sites
for example:
wgetpaste -s gists /etc/portage/make.conf would shift site to api.github.com/gists

That was the ticket.

| Code: | | https://gist.github.com/0d4bc4adc21d6c487c67 |
| Code: | | emerge --info | wgetpaste -s gists |

Oh, sorry. 
I was trying to make it neat. I will try my best to remember that in the future.

It was neat. No blushing needed.
the results of | Code: | | emerge -pvuND world |
suggest will work, I would then expect to work. If so that solves the problems?
I would edit make.conf to:
| Quote: | CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
MAKEOPTS="-j8"
LINGUAS="en_US en"
USE="mmx sse sse2"
INPUT_DEVICES="evdev"
VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia"
PORTDIR="/usr/portage"
DISTDIR="${PORTDIR}/distfiles"
PKGDIR="${PORTDIR}/packages"
ACCEPT_LICENSE="* @EULA" |
should optimize processor, allow mirror use to be controlled by a well managed mirror selection system on the net, minimize global use flags -- IMHO best to use per package use flags whenever reasonable, wiki and or documentation for installs should be a guide as to when global use flag is needed.

Another question is whether USE=gpm is needed at all, it enables console mouse support, I personally never felt the need for console mouse. All my boxes have USE=-gpm and I never missed it. The mouse will still work in xterm.

Well I messed something up. Some how I cannot use any of my bash commands. I tried to "clear" and got | Code: | | bash: command not found |
and when I tried to "nano" into "/etc/portage/make.conf" I got | Code: | | Error opening terminal: xterm |
.
I can't install anything because of the dependency errors.
To post the last info, I was chrooted into my gentoo from the live cd. (note) when trying to "umount" my drives, it doesn't want to unmount them, so I used fuser to force unmount the drives.
When I tried to make the suggested edits, I couldn't use any of the above commands. So I booted up the live Gentoo cd and chrooted into my system and got the same errors. It just seems to go from bad to worse. How do I get my bash to work again? |

boot the livecd, mount the gentoo partitions, should produce | Quote: | | bin boot dev etc home lib lib32 lib64 media mnt opt proc root run sbin stage3-amd64-20140828.tar.bz2 sys tmp usr var |
your stage3 may be different. If you don't have the directory structure quoted: erased?
wrong partition mounted?
file system corruption?
disk device names changed?
??
if directory structure is present: | Code: | | ls -l /mnt/gentoo/bin/bash |
exists? permissions correct?
