 Posted: Sat Mar 30, 2024 7:22 am Post subject: Downgrade trouble after xz mask |
 |
|
[Moderator note: this post, and the first 3 replies, were originally attached to the topic The xz package has been backdoored. This is a more general Portage question due to a mask, not related to the backdoor problem as such. Therefore, I split it off to reduce clutter in the backdoor thread. -Hu]
Hi.
I just saw that portage can't perform update @world as >xz-utils-5.4.6 is masked.
But I can't downgrade. Could you help me please ?
| Code: | # emerge -a1 =app-arch/xz-utils-5.4.2 --backtrack=30
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
Dependency resolution took 21.05 s (backtrack: 3/30).
[ebuild UD ] app-arch/xz-utils-5.4.2 [5.4.6-r1] ABI_X86="-32*"
!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

Isn't 5.4.2 >= 5.0.5-r1 ? I don't understand what is blocking downgrade...
Thanks
[EDIT]
OK
Seems that USE "dev-libs/libxml2 -lzma" did the trick but I don't understand why...

Anard, I'm having the same problem but just "-lzma"ing dev-libs/libxml2 doesn't do the trick for me (and I don't know if I want to/should mark -lzma globally). Also, I'm to puzzled by the blocking (apparently, nothing requires xz-utils>5.0.5  |

You have a version restricted entry in package.use. Notice the -32* in the output. the * means changed.
IMHO, package.use entries should not be version restricted unless there's a good reason. Unfortunately, that's what autounmask does without input. |

mani001, take a look at all the packages that show in the conflict while trying to downgrade, if they are using a lzma, you have to omit it from the builds of those packages. I needed to add "-lzma" to not only "dev-libs/libxml2" but also to "dev-libs/elfutils", "sys-libs/libunwind" and "media-libs/tiff".
I can also confirm that after downgrading, you can add "lzma" back to the packages. Furthermore, I'm just assuming it's just an order issue during compiling/building packages, but I'm very newbie so take it with a grain of salt  .
EDIT: you might also double-check the "package.use" file/directory for commenting out ">=app-arch/xz-utils-5.6.1 abi_x86_32" as it might have been added during latest "dispatch-conf" command. |

Your change probably caused dev-libs/libxml2 not to RDEPEND on any version of app-arch/xz-utils in any configuration, thus making the unacceptable USE flags irrelevant. The advice from the posters above me looks sound. If you still need help, show the output of grep -r -e xz-utils -e libxml2 /etc/portage/package.use.

If the described change does not work for you, then you do not have exactly the same problem. Per Guidelines item #4, please provide us the command(s) you ran and their full output. |

I ended up globally disabling lzma through ufed, and nothing broke, so s'all good  Actually, I did because in another newer (gentoo-based) computer it's not even on by default.
Thanks for the tips, anyway!! |

Edit: An even simpler solution on another machine of mine:
| Code: | | sudo emerge -1 app-arch/xz-utils dev-libs/libxml2 sys-apps/systemd |
-----
What worked for me to solve the conflict, based on Portage output:
1. Remove the following from /etc/portage/package.use (was added via dispatch-conf recently)
| Code: | # required by sys-apps/systemd-255.3-r1::gentoo[lzma]
# required by sys-kernel/dracut-060_pre20240104-r4::gentoo
# required by @selected
# required by @world (argument)
>=app-arch/xz-utils-5.4.6-r1 abi_x86_32 |
2. Add
| Code: | dev-libs/libxml2 -lzma
sys-apps/systemd -lzma |
to /etc/portage/package.use
3. Re-compile dev-libs/libxml2 and sys-apps/systemd without lzma USE flag:
| Code: | | sudo emerge -1 dev-libs/libxml2 sys-apps/systemd |
4. After running | Code: | | sudo emerge -1 app-arch/xz-utils |
, dispatch-conf wanted to add
| Code: | # required by sys-apps/systemd-255.3-r1::gentoo[lzma]
# required by sys-apps/systemd (argument)
>=app-arch/xz-utils-5.4.2 abi_x86_32 |
to /etc/portage/package.use so I accepted the change and run the command again, app-arch/xz-utils was then correctly downgraded to 5.4.2.
5. Undo step 2 and redo step 3 so that both dev-libs/libxml2 sys-apps/systemd are compiled with lzma USE flag again. |

I had to replace this last line with:
| Code: |
app-arch/xz-utils abi_x86_32
|
rather than removing it.
The remaining steps work, except since I don't use systemd I didn't re-emerge that. |
