[gentoo-user] fail to install new package

[Ran Shalit]

Hello,

I am trying to install wine on gentoo but I encounter strange things.

I do :
emerge -va wine

=========
......

>=virtual/libudev-215-r1 abi_x86_32

So I than installed zlib with:


echo "sys-libs/zlib **" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
&
emerge -va zlib


===========

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

It seems to install OK, without errors, but on doing again


emerge -va wine
I get the same failures and still complians about zlib.
I am doing it all as root.


Does anyone have any idea ?

Regards,
Ran

This is the important line

You need to run etc-update, or your preferred alternative config manager,
to merge the changes into /etc/portage/package.use. Portage only puts
them in a temporary ._cfg00* files, it doesn't apply them directly, you
are expected to manage that.

Runtime Error: Out of funny taglines!

[Rich Freeman]

Correct. In addition to accepting the auto-unmask which will set the
32-bit abi use flag on zlib, you should undo the changes you
inadvertently made:
Edit /etc/portage/package.keywords to remove the zlib line you added
Edit /var/lib/portage/world to remove zlib (which was added when you
ran emerge zlib without a -1 option). If you don't do this you might
run into trouble in a few years if somebody comes out with libREz and
it gets virtualized. In general you always want to run emerge -1 when
you're just rebuilding things to try to troubleshoot.

I'd suggest dealing with the files in /etc that need updating and
reading the 12 news items and making any changes you'll find the gentoo
devs have suggested there. Your system may have some significant
problems and doing those things first could fix the problem you're
having with wine.

Thank you all very much,
