e2fsprogs-libs vs. com_err & ss - Round 1 Fight!

Oops -- apparently a well-known ~x86 dependency 'bug' was allowed to surface in stable gentoo.

Here's a forum post and a bug report.

Here's the recipe I used to get around the recent shenanigans associated with e2fsprogs-libs going stable.

  1. emerge -uDavft world
    • That ensures that the packages are pre-fetched,which is critical to this recipe working.  The unmerge that happens below temporarily eliminates the ability to fetch portage packages.
  2. emerge -avt1 --nodeps e2fsprogs-libs
  3. emerge -avt --unmerge com_err ss
  4. emerge -avt1 --nodeps e2fsprogs-libs
  5. emerge -avt1 --nodeps e2fsprogs
  6. emerge -avt1 --nodeps mit-krb5
  7. emerge -avt1 --nodeps e2fsprogs-libs
  8. emerge -avt1 --nodeps e2fsprogs
  9. revdep-rebuild -v

Then world updates can proceed, or whatever else you planned on doing.

Glad it helped. And thanks for the quick comment - it actually reminded me that I hadn't yet posted the info on the associated thread in the gentoo forums (mine ended up differing slightly from what I'd seen on that thread). Cheers!
