Hi,
I'm preparing my system to migrate from profile 17.1 to 23.0.

I decided to run eclean as an extra step and I get the following:

Code:
The following unavailable installed packages were found
            dev-libs/libpthread-stubs-0.4-r1


I get this on my main PC and a VM.

Package dev-libs/libpthread-stubs is not present in any file in /etc/portage and is not part of the world set.

Running revdep-rebuild -i didn't help (nothing to do).

Nothing reported by depclean.

I checked the package page (https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/dev-libs/libpthread-stubs) and only version 0.5 is available, which may explain the eclean message. I also noticed that there is no keyword.

emerge also reports a missing keyword:
Code:

# emerge -pv dev-libs/libpthread-stubs                         

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
Dependency resolution took 1.09 s (backtrack: 0/20).

My understanding is that dev-libs/libpthread-stubs is installed as a dependecy for x11-libs/libxcb, which is in turn a dependency for firefox.

The only thing that seems to do the trick is to accept all keywords (**) for this package.

Code:
# ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="**" emerge -pv dev-libs/libpthread-stubs

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
Dependency resolution took 4.22 s (backtrack: 0/20).

[ebuild     U  ] dev-libs/libpthread-stubs-0.5::gentoo [0.4-r1::gentoo] ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)" 56 KiB

Total: 1 package (1 upgrade), Size of downloads: 56 KiB


However, I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do because I never had to specify keyword for this package. Of course, I would only add a line for the package to package.accept_keywords to accept all keywords.

Should I simply update portage configuration to accept all keywords for the package and be happy with it ?

Thanks.

No. How did you determine that libxcb needs this? As I read the ebuild, that is only true for Darwin, and you appear to be on Linux. What is the output of emerge --pretend --verbose x11-libs/libxcb ; emerge --pretend --verbose --depclean dev-libs/libpthread-stubs?

I totally misinterpreted the ouptut of equery and missed the 'Darwin' part :( I forgot to provide that information in my post, sorry. It is a dependency for www-client/brave-bin apparently ...
Code:

# equery d libpthread-stubs                                     
 * These packages depend on libpthread-stubs:
www-client/brave-bin-1.64.109 (dev-libs/libpthread-stubs)
x11-libs/libxcb-1.16-r1 (elibc_Darwin ? dev-libs/libpthread-stubs)


The ebuild for brave confirms that dev-libs/libpthread-stubs is a dependency
Code:
...
DESCRIPTION="Brave Web Browser"
HOMEPAGE="https://brave.com"
SRC_URI="https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/releases/download/v${PV}/brave-browser-${PV}-linux-amd64.zip -> ${P}.zip"

LICENSE="MPL-2.0"
SLOT="0"
KEYWORDS="amd64"
IUSE="keyring"

# gconf is deprecated.
# DEPEND="gnome-base/gconf:2"
RDEPEND="
   ${DEPEND}
   dev-libs/libpthread-stubs
   x11-libs/libxcb
...


My guess is that dev-libs/libpthread-stubs was installed a while ago with version 0.4 when I installed brave-bin for the first time. It is not complaining because the ebuild doesn't require a specific version.


Edit: There is an issue for this in the brave-bin git repo: https://gitlab.com/jason.oliveira/brave-overlay/-/issues/23

That seems right. Additionally, it looks like libpthread-stubs-0.4 was dropped, and there was no need to keyword 0.5-r1 for Linux, because nothing in ::gentoo requires it for Linux. libxcb is the only consumer, and then only on Darwin. It is not uncommon for packages that are only consumed by an out-of-tree package to be broken by in-tree maintenance, as Brave-on-Linux was here.

Since this package appears to be empty on Linux, keywording it is probably safe, if you cannot remove brave or switch to a version of brave with a corrected dependency.

For now I updated /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords:
Code:
dev-libs/libpthread-stubs **


emerge only updated that package.

I will keep an eye on the GitLab issue I referenced and see if the issue if fixed or not. I will decide later what I do with Brave.

Thank you.

Great to see this here because I had the same issue and fixed it in the same way. But I did not know if this was a good decision.

What I think is quite wired: If I uninstall libprthread-stubs completly while brave is installed, Brave seems to work flawless anyway. It looks like it does not really need this or maybe I did not find the function where this lib is used and cause a crash when trying to execue it?

I think this is because libprthread-stubs is just a "dummy" package that doesn't install anything.

As other pointed out, that dependency only make sense for macOS/Darwin.

In my case I didn't have any issue installing this package. I'm waiting for the Brave package to be updated to remove this dependency (https://gitlab.com/jason.oliveira/brave-overlay/-/issues/23)
