Problem 1.)
I have a new installation and was using only "linux-6.1.57-gentoo" kernel
Instead of grub, I am using "refind" and in "/boot" I only had one kernel in there: | Code: |
i5_new /usr/src/linux # ll /boot
total 30172
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Dec 30 11:32 EFI
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4589397 Dec 30 10:26 System.map-6.1.57-gentoo

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11927648 Dec 30 10:26 vmlinuz-6.1.57-gentoo |
During today's upgrade package sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-6.1.69 merged on i5_new with notice
emerge with error notice that /boot is not mounted
| Code: | LOG: install
Your configuration for sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-6.1.69 has been saved in
"/etc/portage/savedconfig/sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-6.1.69" for your editing pleasure.
You can edit these files by hand and remerge this package with
USE=savedconfig to customise the configuration.
You can rename this file/directory to one of the following for
its configuration to apply to multiple versions:

/boot not mounted
The kernel files were copied to disk successfully but the kernel

please run the equivalent of the following command to try again:

Kernel install failed, please fix the problems and run emerge --config sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel:6.1.69 |
I'm surprized since I've never seen this message before, why do I have to have /boot mounted?
Is it because I'm using "refind, instead of grub" (I'm new to refind)
So I mounted /boot and run as instructed: | Code: | | emerge --config sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel:6.1.69 |
after emerge I found in /boot ???: these entries: | Code: | i5_new /home/fd # ll /boot

Problem 2.)
Before running "emerge --depclean"
I try to double check with: emerge --update --newuse --deep @world
and run into conflict:

How to resolve it?
It looks like there are dependency conflicts involving the packages sys-libs/gdbm and media-libs/tiff in the system. |

Problem 1.
A good read about kernel upgrade: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel/Upgrade. Please read and decide which route you want to take before doing anything further.
In short:
/boot is a directory on which the a seperate partition is mapped to (if you followed the install handbook). Since the boot stuff is only needed at boot, the partition for boot is unmounted after. So to update your kernel /boot needs to be mounted.
If you do not do this, the data will be stored in this directory but not in the correct partition, thus the confusing why there are more/other files in there after mount.
The .old files do come from kernel updates. It is a copy from the previous kernel and needs to be removed manually.

I run:
emerge --noreplace =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-6.1.57
since I want to keep this kernel, but running:
| Code: | | emerge --ask --depclean gentoo-sources |
wants to remove it?
| Code: | Calculating dependencies... done!
>>> Calculating removal order...
>>> These are the packages that would be unmerged:
sys-kernel/gentoo-sources
selected: 6.1.57 6.1.67
protected: none
omitted: none
All selected packages: =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-6.1.57 =sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-6.1.67 |
How to clean/unmerge: "linux-6.1.69-gentoo-dist" it shouldn't be there
It is not listed for removal |

Solved!
removing "-berkdb" from USE = in make.conf (my error)
and masking "media-libs/tiff-4.6.0" solve it, hylfaxplus need <tiff-4.6
I think these kind of conflicts should be resolve by portage automatically |

Portage is resolving it and giving (overly verbose) messages that something was skipped.
The first case was user error and it is saying "what is installed is correct and better than the proposed change".
It is not really a problem on the second case an could be ignored until hylafaxplus is updated. |
