Hi,
I'm trying to install lm_sensors using gentoo-wiki, but I came
accros some dependency problem:
____________________________
# emerge --pretend lm_sensors
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] sys-fs/sysfsutils-2.1.0
[ebuild N ] x11-misc/read-edid-1.4.2
[ebuild N ] sys-apps/lm_sensors-2.10.7 USE="-sensord"
____________________________
What is that x11-misc/read-edid good for? I do not want to pull
the whole x11 stuff with it, as this is a server with no graphics.
Next, I want to use sensord for monitoring, so I modified
package.use and tried it once more:
____________________________
# echo "sys-apps/lm_sensors sensord" >> /etc/portage/package.use
# emerge --pretend lm_sensors
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy
">=x11-libs/cairo-1.4.6[svg]".
!!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request:
- x11-libs/cairo-1.8.6-r1 (Change USE: +svg)
(dependency required by "net-analyzer/rrdtool-1.3.8" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "sys-apps/lm_sensors-2.10.7" [ebuild])
(dependency required by "lm_sensors" [argument])
____________________________
Now I do not understand it at all. Why rrdtool? All I want
to use sensord for is to have some status messages recorded
to syslog. Why should I install that x11-libs/cairo graphics
library and rrdtool stuff???
