Gentoo app-shells/bash-5.0 held back by app-admin/puppet-admin

=app-shells/bash-5.0_p17 has a dependency on libreadline.so.8, but puppet-admin is a binary package that has a dependency on libreadline.so.7. The puppet admin package is actually an extraction of the Debian buster package.

The final result of this was I updated the puppet-agent package in my overlay and based my version on the ubuntu 20.04 version of puppet-agent. Seems to work fine, and I could set the RDEPEND to sys-libs/readline:0/8. You can see the result in my overlay at github. The github change really just required changing the deps, and now puppet no longer supports 32-bit packages as of 6.15.

This was a bit annoying to track down, but at least I now know how to use the "--ignore-built-slot-operator-deps=y" option. I found it in the Gentoo Portage FAQ

# emerge -avuDN --ignore-built-slot-operator-deps=y --backtrack=0 @world

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

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled

^^ ^^^^^^

sys-libs/readline:0/7 required by (app-admin/puppet-agent-6.14.0:0/0::gentoo, installed) USE="-puppetdb (-selinux)" ABI_X86="(64)"
^^^^

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously. If such a conflict exists in
the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
not be installed simultaneously.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

Odd gentoo merge problem for libvirt

Somehow, during the upgrade from libvirt 4.1 to 4.3, I was having a problem building and installing the new libvirt, getting errors such as the following:

qemu_monitor_json.c:(.text+0x2de6): undefined reference to `virJSONValueGetType' ./.libs/libvirt_driver_qemu_impl.a(libvirt_driver_qemu_impl_la-qemu_monitor_json.o):

HBO Go on Linux

In Linux.

HBO Go stopped working for me on Linux recently (actually it might not have been super recent, I don't use it that often). Apparently a DRM problem with Flash 11.2.x on Gentoo (and other Linux versions I'm assuming), I was able to get it working again by emerging …

Tomcat 6.x latency on POST

In Linux.

We were having some problems with HTTP POST performance from the West coast to a tomcat server farm on the East coast. None of these problems showed up locally (between two hosts in the same datacenter.) The latency between West and East coast sites is on the order of 70ms …

sys-fs/eudev

In Linux.

Looks like it's finally time to migrate to sys-fs/eudev. udev 197 was unmasked today on amd64, and I would rather not go down that path.

At least I have an alternative, so I don't have to go it alone.

I ended up having to use kmod, instead of module-init-tools …

Basic Linux firewall

In Linux.

Starting on a new Gentoo box, I was putting together a new firewall setup, and I thought I'd put my hacked down firewall setup script here so I'll have something to start with next time. I used to try some of the other "higher level" tools to generate my firewall …

python and perl USE flag change

Published: Sun 09 October 2011
By Scott McClung

In Linux.

Today, I had to enable python and perl USE flags globally in /etc/make.conf. I guess Gentoo changed the default setting for these flags. Personally I like having the kind of built-in tools and scripts that these provide, so I turned them on. Plus, enabling these flags avoided having …

Gentoo poppler 0.16.7 build error
