 |
|
I tried to update and upgrade the packages in my system and I ended up getting the following error message:
| Code: | Calculating dependencies... done!
Dependency resolution took 18.99 s (backtrack: 2/20).
[ebuild N ] perl-core/Encode-3.190.0 PERL_FEATURES="(-debug) -ithreads -quadmath"
[ebuild U ] dev-lang/perl-5.40.0 [5.38.2-r3]
!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:
dev-lang/perl:0
(dev-lang/perl-5.38.2-r3-1:0/5.38::gentoo, installed) USE="gdbm -berkdb -doc -minimal" PERL_FEATURES="(-debug) -ithreads -quadmath" pulled in by
=dev-lang/perl-5.38* required by (virtual/perl-IO-1.520.0:0/0::gentoo, installed) USE=""
^ ^^^^^
dev-lang/perl:0/5.38= required by (virtual/perl-MIME-Base64-3.160.100_rc-r1:0/0::gentoo, installed) USE=""
^^^^^^^^
(and 115 more with the same problems)
(dev-lang/perl-5.40.0:0/5.40::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) USE="gdbm -berkdb -doc -minimal" PERL_FEATURES="(-debug) -ithreads -quadmath" pulled in by
=dev-lang/perl-5.40* required by (virtual/perl-ExtUtils-Install-2.220.0-r1-1:0/0::gentoo, installed) USE=""
^ ^^^^^
(and 21 more with the same problem)
NOTE: Use the '--verbose-conflicts' option to display parents omitted above
It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in
the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
not be installed simultaneously. You may want to try a larger value of
the --backtrack option, such as --backtrack=30, in order to see if
that will solve this conflict automatically.
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man
page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. |

I did that and then typed in to upgrade my packages but I still ended up getting the same error message. I'm not sure what to do really since this is pretty confusing. |

"emerge -aND @world" doesn't tell portage to perform updates. You can keep N, but you should probably add both "u" and "U". With "U", the "N" option can be dropped for most updates.
If that doesn't help, then you may be syncing with a mirror that doesn't have fixes for affected packages, or maybe there's a package that hasn't been fixed.

Another option is to temporarily avoid updating perl. One way is to use the --exclude feature.

I did that and it fixed the issue, thanks! |
