[gentoo-user] Few blockers left

[the...@sys-concept.com]

I'm upgrading my last system and have few blockers left:

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

x11-libs/libxcb:0

The full ootput of emerge, with the --tree option, would put these
messages in context.

This one is usually caused by mismatched USE flags on the virtual and the
choice you have installed. Make sure virtual/libudev and eudev have the
same USE flags, otherwise portage will try to install udev instead.

This is probably a consequence of the above.

These means nothing out of context, we don't know which profile, and
therefore default USE flags, you are using. The output from emerge --info
is more useful.

Those are not blockers.

The part of emerge output above this, the bit you snipped out, shows
*what* portage wants to do.

The bits below show you *why* it's doing that - usually why it's not
upgrading to the latest version of a number of packages.

Learn to read the portage output. It is vastly more complicated with way
too many !!! and *** and ### characters to alarm you needlessly, but it
cna nevertheless be understood.

And those are not blockers. A blocker is a very specific thing, which
these are not

Thanks for the input. I always struggle with these blockers and how to read them.

Let me help you with that.

Portage output often gives you "slot conflicts" plus a crapton of
console output obviously designed by narcissist graving attention (there
is so MUCH of it, all decorated with alarming !! and ** and whatnot).
Everyone agrees it must be changed but no-one is prepared to do the
work. So we learn to live with it.

Blockers never appear in that output. A blocker is a blocker if it shows
up in the list of stuff t be merged prefixed with
[ B] or
[ b]

All that later stuff is portage telling you (via a core dump....) WHY it
did what it did. It's full of junk too :-) SO what does it actually tell
you? Well, making up some version names to make the point clear:

I need to install okular
because kde is in world
I can choose SLOT 4 or 5
5 is preferred because it is latest
but I can't go to 5 because of something with kde-libs
[huge dump of output supposed to make the reason for decision
before this one clearer]
therefore you are getting okular-16.08.3

And that's about as far as thinking in a general template fashion is
ever going to get you, especially when portage's decisions involve your
choice of USE.

When that happens, you have to read all of it, line by line, carefully,
twice. Or thrice. And then it makes sense.

Try it some time. Work through every line of that output, open the
relevant ebuild for each and study what is in it. See why portage mad
that decision, and move onto the next line.

It all eventually makes some form of sense.

And yes, it is way more info that it should be, leaving you only two
choices:
- don't fix it, but learn to read it
- decide to fix it, do so, commit the patch, and be everyone's hero

You got no other output? Portage then quit quickly, decided to d nothing
and then gave you the below?

with ncurses above, portage says it needs ncurses version >5.2-r2 with
subslot 0/5 and unicode set in USE. It doesn't say WHY it needs it, only
that it does, but something in your system configs prevents it.

Start with:
grep -r unicode /etc/portage
grep -r ncurses /etc/portage

That tends to show quickly why you have a USE unset or if ncurses is
blocked somehow

There must have been something before this. Show the full output, which
tells us exactly what portage wants to do, and use -v so all USE flags
are shown.

I still suspect a USE flag mismatch here. What does

grep -r udev /etc/portage

show?

To repeat what I said before, a virtual and the package satisfying it
must have matching USE flags. If your flags for virtual/libudev and eudev
don't match, portage will try to install the default for libudev, which
is udev. That then causes a conflict as you can't have udev and libudev
installed at the same time.

OK, I run emerge -vq @preserved-rebuild it compiled some 57-packages.
but I'm not moving ahead, I can not even run --depclean, it ask me to run:

emerge --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y -q @world

and there are no blockers showing but:

It might have something to do with dev-lang/php-7.0.15

There's the problem, you have enabled the abi_x86_32 USE flag for all
versions of udev and the libudev virtual, bit only for one specific
version of eudev, so the only way portage can upgrade virtual/libudev is
to install udev, which conflicts with eudev. Fix package.use to the
entries for libudev and eudev match.

Yes, that might have been a problem. I got tired rebuilding the same
packages over again and adding with each new version "abi_x86_32" flag
to package.use.
I just added to make.conf
ABI_X86="32 64"

After upgrading several 1-year old systems I think best approach is to
make a backup of "world"
emerge -C world
Restore the world from backup and do emerge world

But the solution was posted last week.

You can use etc-update or equivalent to do that.

You can do that, but it build a lot of 32 bit libraries that you don't
need, significantly increasing build times.

How is that different from emerge -e @world?

That is true, so how do you clean up package.use with all these entries.
from:
# required by sys-libs/ncurses-5.9-r99::gentoo
# required by sys-apps/texinfo-5.2::gentoo
# required by dev-db/mariadb-10.0.21::gentoo
# required by virtual/mysql-5.6-r2::gentoo
# required by dev-perl/DBD-mysql-4.31.0::gentoo
>=sys-libs/ncurses-5.9-r5:0 abi_x86_32

to:
sys-libs/ncurses abi_x86_32

That's pruning too far, you have removed the slot specifier. You could do

sed '/^#/d' /etc/portage/package.use

But then you lose all explanation of why those entries are in
package.use.
