[gentoo-user] Portage somwhat out of whack

[Kevin O'Gorman]

An update to mysql last Thursday has caused quite a bit of grief,
some other things are still broken.

The update caused problems because it invalidated things like
Postfix.  No email, because I have Postfix using mysql as a
database, and it was linked with an older mysql library.
Mail is now working.

I did "emerge sync" and revdep-rebuild, but that is not working
very well.  For one thing, it complains that it cannot satisfy
"=kde-base/kdelibs-3.3.2-r9" which is no longer in the portage
tree.  The full output of the run appears after the .sig.
There are other problems indicated there.

By manually emerging some of this stuff, I've gotten it
pared down to just, but

=app-office/openoffice-bin-2.0.0
=dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5.0.05
=kde-base/kdelibs-3.3.2-r9
=www-client/opera-8.50

These are failing for a variety of reasons, which I think are also
references to obsolete libraries.

So:  When openoffice-bin is complaining about libdb-3.0 and all
there is is libdb-4...  what do I do.  How do I get it to compile
with what there is?  How do I find what ebuild has that file.
If the answer is qpkg, where do I find it (it's not on my system,
although there's a man page).

Evaluating package order...
Warning: Failed to resolve package order.
Will merge in "random" order!
Possible reasons:

All prepared. Starting rebuild...
emerge --oneshot --nodeps  =app-office/openoffice-bin-2.0.0 =dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5.0.05 =kde-base/kdelibs-3.3.2-r9 =www-client/opera-8.50
..........
Calculating dependencies
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "=kde-base/kdelibs-3.3.2-r9".


Result is not OK, you have following choices:
- if emerge failed during build, fix the problems and re-run revdep-rebuild
    or
- use -X or --package-names as first argument (try to rebuild package, not exact
  ebuild - ignores SLOT!)
    or
- set ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~<your platform>" and/or /etc/portage/package.unmask
  (and remove /root/.revdep-rebuild.5_order to be evaluated again)
    or
- modify the above emerge command and run it manually
    or
- compile or unmerge unsatisfied packages manually, remove temporary files and
  try again (you can edit package/ebuild list first)

To remove temporary files, please run:
rm /root/.revdep-rebuild*.?_*
treat ~ #
