Re: [gentoo-user] emerge wanting to install gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r6
You might try checking /var/cache/edb/virtuals. I think I remember having a similar problem, and it turned out that portage, at some point, had left gentoo-sources in virtual/linux-sources. Theres no mention of gentoo-sources in /var/cache/edb/virtuals, or virtual/linux-sources either, could that be the problem? That wasn't what I was thinking, but yes, it is the problem, I'm sure. There will be something you've got installed which depends on virtual/ linux-sources as portage believes you don't have anything installed which provides it, it's picking something. You can add the line you need yourself, just like the rest. Note the extra space(s) on the end of each line, don't know if it matters, but suspect it's to make the code easier or something. Added the line virtual/linux-sources sys-kernel/vanilla-sources to /var/cache/edb/virtuals fixes the problem Cheers Adam -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] emerge wanting to install gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r6
I'm guessing you've emerged gentoo-sources at some time in the past? If so, emerge wants to install a newer version because of a security flaw in 2.4.20-r5 and below. emerge isn't smart enough to realise that you're not actually *using* gentoo-sources -- it just sees that it's been installed at some point and wants to do the upgrade... No, I've always used vanilla-sources You might try checking /var/cache/edb/virtuals.
