[gentoo-user] Can I get help here for portage on Sabayon?

[Robert Stockdale IV]

Sabayon uses gentoo's portage with overlays and I am having difficulty with
portage conflicts. I will include details if this is the right list. If not
would someone direct me to the right list? Thank you.

Thank you. I'll post using a different thread that reflects the issue.

[gentoo-user] Portage issue

[Robert Stockdale IV]

I'm currently running Sabayon on an Ahtlon 64 x2. When I run emerge --sync,
it claims that there is an updated version of portage, and I should run
emerge portage before updating any packages. When I run emerge -pv portage I
get:

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

OK, I've got it pared down to some degree. These few block programs in
portage are still preventing a world update and I don't believe I can remove
them without destroying my system. They are:

I did "emerge --sync" I also ran eix-sync as well which does that and

Thanks to everyone who helped. I realizes that a more recent version was
available and I'm emerging it now. When it is done I'll rerun glsa-check
again and let you know if it worked. I't has been some time since I ran a
Gentoo based system and I'm hoping I don't do something to break it. I hate
reinstalling as I usually loose files and time.

Sabayon takes about 3 hours for a complete install and most of it is
performed automatically. I run the setup configuration at the beginning and
it lets me know when to reboot into the fresh install. Correcting a trashed
system could take days.

The 2 line starting with ACCESS VIOLATION SUMMARY is in red. I believe the

some other way? Thank you.

Tried that and the emerge failed for gcc. I did an "emerge --sync" and tried
again using -uDNav and it came up with the following:

I already have gcc 4.2.3 installed and emerge wants to downgrade to 4.1.2.
I'd prefer to stay with 4.2.3. Is there a way to force it? Do I use

Well I got it compiling. However it seems to die with errors with the USE
flag and FEATURES. It also will not take the multilib use flag. I use the
-uDNav option on emerge and multilib is shown as (-multilib). How can I get
it to show multilib* instead of (-multilib). Thank you.

multilib is in both /etc/make.conf and in /etc/portage/package.use.  In fact
this is the line I have in the package.use file for gcc:

=sys-devel/gcc-4.2.3 multislot multilib altivec build fortran nls nocxx doc
gcj gtk hardened libffi objc vanilla ip28 ip32r10k n32 n64 objc-gc mudflap
objc++  openmp -sandbox

No, I'm not entirely new to Gentoo. I just recently returned after
approximately 2 years with Ubuntu. I missed Gentoo and portage. Was
reintroduced to it with Sabayon Linux and just came back to full blown
Gentoo. Still a little rusty with portage and gcc. Should have stuck with
Gentoo all along.
Thank you,
Bob

According to eselect it is still :default-linux/amd64/2007.0/desktop
This is what I set it at when I installed Gentoo.
