 |
|
I'm trying to upgrade world, and getting:
| Code: | <sys-libs/pam-0.99.9.0-r1 (is blocking sys-auth/pambase-20080306.2)
|
I don't know which of these is the newer/preferred one, so I don't know how to handle the block.
Can someone provide advice?
Thanks,
Dave |

Hi,
pam 1.x will pull in pambase, but pambase doesn't want anything less than pam-0.99.9.0 installed. <sys-libs/pam-0.99.9.0-r1
The 0.99.x versions of pam don't need pambase as a dep so upgrading pam to that version first should clear things up.
| Code: | | emerge -1 ~sys-libs/pam-0.99.9.0 |

| Code: | # emerge -1 ~sys-libs/pam-0.99.9.0
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild UD] sys-libs/pam-0.99.9.0 [0.99.10.0]
[blocks B ] <sys-libs/pam-0.99.9.0-r1 (is blocking sys-auth/pambase-20080306.2)

Sorry, I'm still confused... could you suggest something else?

Apparently I was too. 
looks like pam-base is already installed so try to upgrade pam first without specifying a version.
It's strange it's telling you it's blocked when you already have 0.99.10.0 installed. |

- remove pambase
- update pam
- emerge -avuDN world
- revdep-rebuild
- profit!

Well, actually that has something to do with something I didn't mention... I was attempting to "downgrade" my system from testing to stable... which I've now given up on. I was doing something similar on a new installed machine at home, and thoroughly screwed up that machine. It really doesn't seem like something that one is intended to do So I gave up doing it on the machine in question (for this thread) and just decided to leave it at testing level. I'm now re-emerging world and it seems to be doing fine.
Sorry for the confusion, but I appreciate your help.

That makes sense. I've never tried to switch back to stable from testing but they say it's a lot of hassle to do. You might be able to get away with unmerging pam if things were recompiled with -pam first so nothing is linked against it. quickpkg could save a headache by making a package of it first, so if emerge breaks from an unmerge you could then extract the package to / as a temporary fix.
There might be a topic around here about downgrading glibc, Or not trying to. 
Good luck |

| Code: | emerge --sync
emerge -C sys-auth/pambase
emerge sys-libs/pam
|
And enjoy your logins...
The last command will install the 1.0.1 version of pam and the 20080318 version of pambase, as dependency.
